DVDReClock

I just spent considerable time installing and testing ReClock under Vista Ult. SP1.


Except that it doesn't work with PowerDVD, nor with [that unbelievable bugfest called] Arcsoft Total tra-la-la and that EVR is the only renderer with which I can get DXVA for 1080p H.264/VC-1 to work in MPC HT (and as you rightly say, ReClock don't do EVR).
So what exactly do you mean with "works just fine under Vista"?

S.

Reclock doesn't really work properly with DXVA enabled. It can't perform it's Vsync properly.

May I ask why you need DXVA? Basically any dual core processor will do it in software. I have an old Opteron 165 and it does full software decoding easily.

hmm sorry no, ReClock works just fine with dxva, either when accelrating mpeg2 or h264.
The system clock correction is done and media adaptation in effect.
You just cannot use the "tearing test", that's the only drawback with dxva.
About the VSync, it's advised to turn it OFF form VMR9, and probalby EVR has its own vsync timing system as well so in every case vsync correction shouldn't be in use for those renderers, dxva or not.

I've found that Vsync helps with VMR9. I've played with this a lot - right from the early days of reclock.

So losing the Vsync function with DXVA is not ideal, in my experience. Without Vsync reclock is only half working.

But stick with what works for you.

That's true but VSync correction is only one of the many benefits of ReClock. The others work splendidly even with DXVA.

May I ask why you need DXVA? Basically any dual core processor will do it in software.

First off, I don't have a DualCore CPU. With the help of my Radeon 3650 (half the price of a current C2D CPU) and DXVA I can watch all BluRays/HD DVDs known to man totally smoothly on my P4 (3 GHz) machine.
Second, you wanny try watching BluRay/HD DVD videos that have extremely high bitrates (such as Casino Royale, Apocalypto etc.) with software-only decoding... LOL - be my guest ;)

Even with DXVA working, setting ReClock's resampling quality to "excellent" (with analogue multichannel output) will choke older C2D processors, let alone my ancient P4. One of the main reasons why I'm still using SPDIF output at this day in age...

Only if you don't do resampling in hardware which, reading the documentation, is clearly suggested if you have a modern and compatible soundcard. Working great with my X-Fi and impacting minimally on the CPU usage front.

Yep, hardware resampling works fine on my Revo 5.1 too (obviously I have quality set at excellent).



And no HD-DVD (but only one BD so far) has caused my fairly ancient dual core processor any trouble at all, 100% in software.
 
Hi guys,
I can confirm that reclock works on vista sp1!

After reading on this pages I install my old copy of reclock and it works with TheaterTek using VRM9.
I confirm also the error closing the config page, but I cannot a way to show the colored icon on traybar during playback.
Anyone can confirm that?
 
That's a big "if" ;)

S.
Well... a compatible soundcard is really cheap I think. But if you have a working solution I totally understand why you don't want to change. What soundcard are you using?
 
What soundcard are you using?
Some crappy on-board chip. Don't even remember the name. That's my main reason for using SPDIF output for the time being, as opposed to those 17-cent onboard D/A converters :eek:

But a friend has the all-conquering, all-expensive Asus Xonar D2 7.1 and even that is incompatible with ReClock's hardware resampling (option is greyed out) he says.

And before you say it, no, I will never again purchase anything by Creative Labs, ever. Unless I learn how to write *proper* drivers myself first ;)

I'm thinking of buying the Audiotrak Prodigy 7.1 HiFi in the not-too-distant future. Anyone has any experience with that?

S.
 
I have Windows Vista SP1, an M-Audio 7.1 revolution and a Nvidia 7900GS video card. Is it possible to get reclock working with this setup and if yes, how? I go into configure reclock and place a tick beside the three options:

Set reclock as preferred renderer
Set reclock to be loaded in place of default Directsound/Wave renderers
Force reclock to be loaded in PowerDVD

When I click OK, I get the following error message three times:

Cannot change "bypass audio renders" status. Please reinstall Reclock

BTW, I'm usiong Reclock version 1.7b4

Please if anyone has any suggestions :bowdown:

Thanks
 
I installed TheaterTek and it looks like reclock will work with that, but can it work with PowerDVD for Blu-Ray and HD-DVD?

Yes, I but only under XP. Works with some builds of v. 7.3 (others need a tweak supplied by James - search the forum!) and it works with v. 8.0.

Thanks, looks like it's back to XP for me, at least until Slysoft release a new version of Reclock.

Yup, that's the general consensus I believe. At least among people who want to watch BluRays in PowerDVD.
Which is OK I think - the fewer people use Vista, the better. Perhaps Microsoft will see the error of their ways then...

I have the feeling Reclock isn't necessary anymore with later PowerDVD builds, I don't see any stuttering when I tune my graphics card to (roughly) 23.98 Hz. (not using SPDIF, of course) Luck? Coincidence? Or did Cyberlink something?

I'm not saying this isn't so but do you actually sit down and watch a complete movie from beginning to end, without hitting pause? Because if you do that, and your GPU timing happens to be really close, it can take an hour or more before any jerkyness sets in. And every time you hit pause/play obviously the A/V synching is reset so the "counter" starts anew...

Just a thought...

Unless Cyberlink have finally made the switch to EVR in Vista and allocate a really huge set of buffers... which I doubt...
