Splash Pro - My experience as an IT Guy

[jagzjagz]

Hi folks,

I tried your Splash product. Unbelievably, for 1080P 60FPS content from my camcorder or HX9V video camera, this is the ONLY player that seems to play back without dropped frames, aside from the Windows 7 built in Media player itself.


This is using multiple computers with common Nvidia cards. I tried on my Q6600 to get hardware accelerated video to work properly to no avail. It plays back 60fps content smooth via CPU, but not otherwise!

Now I don't understand what exactly is different with this product, versus using standard Media Player Classic via CoreAVC and Haali Media Splitter. Any other video devices, splitters, any combinations at all, just did not work.

What exactly is so different about your product and its implementation, and why is it able to do what others simply cannot do? And finally, how come very few people actually know about this software product?

About nvidia...
Because h/w decoding on nvidia up to VP4 is quite slow. They are capable of decoding 60 fps video, but it's their limit - so some video could lag, some not. Performance depends on decoder, not much, but in such case it makes difference. You can test decoding speed using DXVA Checker.
Check this - http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=163110 - only vp5 can fully handle 60 fps video.

Try LAV Decoder in different modes (DXVA, CUVID). Or use software decoding...

New GPUs can play 1080p60 H.264, but only 500 series for Nvidia:

Not all new nvidia GPU's are VP5
Here is the list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nvidia_Pur ... HD.29_GPUs

Btw, intel SB is real beast... And IB should be even faster.

Oh, thought all 500 series cards are VP5 but only weak GT520 =/

Thanks!
