Here's why you need ReClock: http://www.schmidt-web.info/malte/english.html
(unfortunately the sound examples were removed from the site... :( )

http://sandbox.slysoft.com/beta/SetupReClock1855.exe

1.8.5.5 - 20/12/2009
* New: Added "audio only" mode, no part of the prebuffer will be skipped

Thank you James!


Any chance to check my interlaced res bug on ATi cards? :)

And some way to completely bypass Kmixer on XP (working Kernal Streaming?) would be really, really nice.

If you need some in depth beta testing, please let me and maybe Bitmonster know (we used to be mods on the reclock forum, so we are kinda motivated!).

Cheers

Mark!

thank you for the new beta :clap:

I still have the problem that some h264/dts MKV files give "no video stream found" in Reclock, when using Haali's Renderer+Haali's Media Splitter on XP SP3

do you know where Reclock gets the frame rate info from when using Haali's Renderer ? please enlighten us, by all means :bowdown:

a known fix is to reinstall windows, but any chance you could implement a hack like Reclock already has for VMR9/Overlay(it always says "found in cache : 23.976") ?

also when using DivX Remoulade(a h264 decoder under steroids) with 23.976/24 fps movies(and Haali's Renderer+Haali's Media Splitter on XP SP3), Reclock says 25 fps no matter what...it works fine for 29.97 fps files, though.

and if you could multithread the resampling algorithm, this would be really awesome as this thing sucks a helluvalot of CPU time when set to "excellent".

Finally, I'd like to apply as a betatester(I'm also a Remoulade betatester) if any possible :D

Well, as you have seen.. it doesn't. Should be easy to fix, I'll check.

I have no idea what a reinstall of XP could accomplish. Have you tried to clean ReClock's frame database?

OMG, salvation day has come, rejoice my chidren :rock:

me and my friends on www.homecinema-fr.com would be THRILLED to get a fullly working version of Reclock with Haali's Renderer/EVR :)

well it seems that the more mess/DS filters you got in the CLSID thingies in the registry, the more problematic getting the frame rate info is with Haali's Renderer/EVR.

with a clean XP install, it works all the time and w/o a single itch.......then the more software you install the worse it gets.

last time I had Windvd9 installed, it completely ruined the Reclock frame rate thingie with quicktime trailers.....Reclock said 29.976/25fps when movies were actually 23.976(same for Remoulade as explained above, but for Remoulade the problem has been reproduced on many different computers).

An audio renderer is not supposed to care about frame rate info, so I guess ogo was using a dirty hack..........that doesn't work too well when you got too much CLSID mess :(

Yes, I've already tried to clean the frame rate/timings databases a number of times.

Thank you for your help James,

PS: there is another feature that would be dynamite in Reclock.
that's "timestamps smoothing", like ffdshow does for Avisynth IVTC.

at this point Reclock is having problems with 23.976@24/48/etc, because the timestamps are not round like 24/25 fps.......so it creates some slight jitter(easily noticeable in Haali's Renderer)
if it was actually making 24 fps "timestamps smoothing", then all would be fine :)

http://ffdshow-tryout.sourceforge.net/html/en/avisynth.htm

Smooth timestamps
This mode will smooth frame durations that alternate between two values every other frame by setting the duration of the current frame to the average duration of the current and last frame. This allows adding/dropping frames on 24FPS NTSC video (with a bob filter, for example) where timestamps that are alternating between 33 and 50ms will be replaced with a constant duration of 41.7ms. Video that already has constant frame durations will keep them, of course.

Done. Next beta will have it.

Impossible. ReClock didn't support the Haali renderer. If you "got it to work" it was ... luck, I would guess. :)

OMG :eek:

I know that sounds demanding but do you have a very rough ETA ?
before this beta expires hopefully ? :D

Reclock + Haali's Renderer, now that's butter smooth

you can see the "Excellent" resampling sucking 18% of my 3.3Ghz Q6600....hopefully it could be a lot less if it were multithreaded.

and also my Q6600 runs at 3.3Ghz(8*415), yet Reclock believes I'm in SpeedStep mode or sumthing and believes I actually run at 9*415(3.7Ghz)........that leads to recomputing the timings too often to my taste when I restart the PC..

I have a Haali Renderer related bug too. When I run the Unofficial Dscaler 1080i IVTC version decoder for TS files, it reports 29.97fps for film material, instead of correctly reporting 23.976fps like other renderers.
 
Later perhaps... :eek:

At this stage, I would be happy for you to duplicate it :)

Although I have noticed the same problem on two completely different PCs.

ATi cars after x1950 generation report half the refresh rate for interlaced res's, and the frequency reported is "rounded off".
 
James, thanks for ReClock!

I own an HP s3330f off-the-shelf, dual-format HTPC. Vista 32 bit OS. The OEM software player is HP's own "DVD Play BD/HD-DVD". I understand that this program is essentially a re-packaged PowerDVD. The exe file is named DVDPlay.exe.

When I start DVD Play in order to play a BD iso file from a "sheep" virtual drive, ReClock does not start. The movie plays as it does normally. No ReClock icon in the tray. No ReClock in Taskmanager.

I then checked the "Force ReClock to be loaded into PowerDVD". That didn't work, either.

I've also tried checking "Force ReClock to be loaded in place of default Direct Sound/Wave renderer", and then selected the executable file "DVDPlay.exe" in the "Only allow ReClock to replace default renderers with....." option on the Advanced Settings page. That did not work, either, but in this case, although ReClock still did not load (or at least appear in either the tray or taskmanager), when I started DVD Play, the BD movie started and played, but there was no audio at all, so ReClock is at least affecting how DVD Play plays the movie. (When I then removed the "force" option in ReClock, DVD Play then once again played the movie with audio, as normal.)

ReClock does indeed run (appears in the tray and taksmanager) when I start MPC and drag an m2ts file onto its window, so, unlike the old ReClock, your version of ReClock does indeed work in Vista 32 on my machine.

Any suggestions on how to make it work with HP's DVD Play?

Thanks again.
 
You can't do Resampling in Hardware?
nope, I don't use a gaming sound card(a la X-Fi) anymore, and my M-Audio USB DAC doesn't do hardware resampling..

anyhow I got an overclocked Q6600, so it's not like I care.

but I find the sound quality way better in "Excellent" mode than in "Very good", but because it's not multithreaded you need a bad ass CPU to use it :doh:

Interesting. I have an M-Audio Revolution 5.1 and it does do Hardware Resampling.
 
I use an Audiophile USB unit, and you can see on my Haali's Renderer screenshot from the previous page that "hardware resampling" is greyed out.

Anyhow, I don't think this would achieve the same sound quality as the "Excellent" software mode.
 
James, this is truly fantastic news. It is great to have Reclock resurrected from near death! I may even be able to move from XP someday now (still no rush though!). I'll let leeperry kick the tyres for a few days before jumping in though I think(;)). It it survives his scrutiny it will be the most solidly tested piece of software you have!

The PiP fix is interesting. Hadn't even thought about that. I guess that is what the second instance of Reclock is for in PowerDVD. It was always red for me, I have never tried PiP, but good to know it is fixed before I even needed it!

I hope Reclock scripting still works? It is still the best way of changing timings to match media.

Hardware resampling only works with DS output. You are using wave out in your screenshot.
 
First of all, thank you to SlySoft for delivering on this. The wait was long, so very long but today, finally, I did my daily round of "let's see if Reclock is alive" and it's here! Thank you!!! :D
Anyhow, I don't think this would achieve the same sound quality as the "Excellent" software mode.
Well, I think you might be wrong on this. I am using an X-Fi and hardware resampling on it should be really good, considering the processing power entirely devoted to audio.

that would explain...but I got KS mapped to Waveout, I can't stand KMixer

Today would be cool. ;)
gee, I'm 2 fingers from a seizure :D

at this point, Reclock can't detect AVI speeds at all on my box, and on several MKV's as well(but most of them are fine).

I was about to reinstall a clean XP SP3, but that will be a good candidate to test your "Haali's Renderer" frame rate Reclock fix

while you're at it, if you could fix it with Remoulade as well.
I've put the beta2 here :
http://www.yousendit.com/download/bVlEeW56b0JRR2ZIRGc9PQ

you'll find out that for 23.976/24 fps h264 mkv with Haali's Renderer on XP, it says 25 fps in Reclock(and also for 25 fps obviously)
29.97 files are properly recognized, though....KMPlayer gets the right frame rate info so the issue seems to be on Reclock's side..

Thank you so much,

Well, I think you might be wrong on this. I am using an X-Fi and hardware resampling on it should be really good, considering the processing power entirely devoted to audio.
well to me the X-Fi audio cards are just toys(OMG EAX5! :D ) with low quality components(op-amps, etc).
the sound quality doesn't match real gear, like M-Audio/RME/AudioTrak/Terratec/etc...

besides I'm not quite sure that checking this option will put their SRC to good use.

I tried it on some X-Fi Xtreme Music, and I wasn't too crazy about it :disagree:
