Thanks for the suggestion, I will probably hold off modifying my mythtv setup till the driver is deemed stable and mplayer has incorporated the patches.

On the other hand, this new driver is also a very good excuse to upgrade my mythtv with a new nvidia based mobo

Is it planned to implement VDPAU support for 7xxx series? I'm currently interested in GF 7600GT.
Thanks alot for your job.

+1. but with 7950GX2

at first .... nic to hear that came out nice stuff for hardware decoding on linux ...BIG THX FOR THAT !!

but i have an problem to compile mplayer with the checkout-patch script :

It's still far away from purevideo on Windows
See: http://www.nvidia.fr/docs/CP/11084/P...Comparison.pdf

[Thunderbird]

As mentioned in other threads no support is planned for geforce6/7 and G80 models. The reason is that they lack dedicated purevideo hardware which modern geforce8/9 cards have.

Your best bet is to look at the svn revisions that the patch pulls and pull libx264 from the same date/time-stamp. However, there are no guarantees that this will work.

I found the solution.

Open the file "libavcodec/libx264.c" and remove these lines:

x4->params.analyse.b_bidir_me = avctx->bidir_refine > 0;
x4->params.analyse.b_bframe_rdo = avctx->flags2 & CODEC_FLAG2_BRDO;
x4->params.rc.psz_rc_eq = avctx->rc_eq;

Change this:

x4->params.b_bframe_adaptive = avctx->b_frame_strategy;

to this:

x4->params.i_bframe_adaptive = avctx->b_frame_strategy;

With that it should compile. Most distros do that already for their mplayer packages.


My results:

• I have a 8400GS card (not supported for VC-1 IIRC). The last 2 files print this error message: Error at libvo/vo_vdpau.c:637
• I tried to seek in the "nature" video (the snake one) and my PC crashed (froze) completely. I had to reboot pressing the reset button.

The videos play nice, with low CPU. I'll continue testing...

I ran into the same issue use instead:

./configure --enable-vdpau

Make sure you make clean and then run make again.

Regarding the playback, the sample worked fine but like others I've run into problems like:

[VD_FFMPEG] Trying pixfmt=0.

VO: [vdpau] 1280x720 => 1280x720 H.264 HIGH VDPAU acceleration

I guess it's a matter of time for the driver and library/API to stabilise abit

Yet another problem:

btw, I've tried to apply patch to current mplayer's trunk. It applied with minor modifications, but can't test. -vo vdpau works, but -vo vdpau -vc codec - same result as with recomended version.
If anybody interested - http://rapidshare.com/files/16405080...s.tar.bz2.html (nellymoserenc.patch is for missing header in nellymoserenc.c in one of mplayer's rev's. Maybe it's fixed now)

The GeForce 6/7 series and G80 based GeForce 8 series PureVideo hardware only accelerates part of the decode process. What it supports is pretty much all already exposed in xvmc for MPEG-2, just not for H.264 (not including G80, which has no video decode acceleration exposed at all). Since these cards don't accelerate the entire decode process and VDPAU seems to be all or nothing, it isn't available on these cards.

The PureVideo hardware in newer cards, that are supported by VDPAU, accelerate the entire process for H.264, MPEG-1, and MPEG-2. From what I've been reading, only a few (8200/8300/9300/9400 mGPUs, 9500/9600GT, and some mobile ones) accelerate the entire process for VC-1, so I wouldn't expect to see VC-1 decode available on many cards.

(Please correct me if I am wrong about any of these things).
