A little help needed... enabling default RunEvent.vbs for SetDisplayFrequency.exe

[Jong]

I'd definitely try disabling PowerDVD again first. Just uninstall Reclock and re-install without PowerDVD support.

If that fails (can't think why) come back and we can try another way.

Or disable PowerDVD usage in Config.

Thanks James, that's a great idea. For some reason I was going at it backwards by installing support for PowerDVD 12, then trying to disable PowerDVD. It looks like PowerDVD / Arcsoft TMT support runs a little different than all other apps.

Or disable PowerDVD usage in Config.

Hi Jong, I've really enjoyed using your VBscript. There is one small change I would like to do for my setup. Could you tell me how to change the refresh rate to 59Hz if it detects 720i resolution Else 24Hz. Currently, the script treats 720i and 720p the same.

So, it would do something like this:

	        Select Case mediaType
        	    Case "CINEMA"

			If sourceheight = 720i Then
				newTimings = "59"
			Else
				newTimings = "24"
			End if

Sorry, I don't think that's possible. Reclock does not tell the script whether the video is interlaced or not. But I don't understand, it seems very unlikely to me that you would have CINEMA media (24Hz) that is interlaced.

EDIT: I finally figured out the problem. Reclock is reporting scan type incorrectly for 720p mpeg2.

I have tried this with multiple mpeg2 decoders, including LAV video. No matter what, Reclock will show 720i instead of 720p. This happens on ALL 720p media files. In fact, I've never seen reclock display 720p before, never.


How can I force reclock to display scan type correctly for 720p media?

BTW: I have made a small windows batch file (based off the CLI version of mediainfo.exe) to display video format correct from command line.

Can someone help me with some change?
Currently when the movie is 30fps it keeps the refresh rate at 60hz.

I want it to change the refresh rate to 30hz.

I made this change from 60hz to 30hz, but it still doesnt work. I also tried 29hz:

'Change refresh rate if YELLOW

Select Case mediaType
Case "CINEMA"
newTimings = "24"

Case "PAL"
newTimings = "50"

Case "PAL(2x)"
newTimings = "50"

Case "NTSC"
newTimings = "30"

Case "NTSC(2x)"
newTimings = "30"

Case "CINEMA(2x)"
newTimings = "30"

' Case "CUSTOM"
' newTimings = currentPlaybackSpeed / 1000

End Select

Did you enable the setting "Enable events notifications to VBS script when display mode is changing"?

Does the refresh rate not change for all types of media formats? e.g., (CINEMA, NTSC, CINEMA (2x), NTSC (2x)?

Are you at least able to get a popup dialog box when playing back media if you change "true" to "false" in the below line in "RunEvent.vbs"?

"If false Then"

Maybe Jong can also help.
