evr playback disables dvd plabyback decoding

[den372]

HI I have an nvidia 8400 gforce gs video card. This card has full h.264 internal acceleration. I use it with gbpvr and select the evr (enhanced video rendering) option for playback. This provides practicality flawless playback of hd h.264 recordings. Unfortunately when I select EVR for playback the side effect is my dvd playback is no longer operational. I am currently using the default video and audio decoders for DVD. If I select VMR9 for playback the dvd playback is excellent, HD h.264 is marginal. If I select EVR for playback then dvd is "no dice", and HD h.264 is nearly flawless. I was wondering if anyone had experienced this problem. Any thoughts appreciated

You probably need to change your DVD decoders from 'system default' to something else. 'system default' effectively tells windows to pick some random decoder on your machine - the decoder its picking probably doesnt like EVR. Try explicitly selecting some other decoder.

Thanks Sub. I will try a nvidia decoder, power dvd decoder see what happens

Hi Sub, I tried cyberlink and nvidia decoders neither worked. I was looking for others to try could you recommend a good web site or decoder that I should track down.

I would have thought either of those would be fine.

Try with the Cyberlink decoder, then zip and attach the pvrx2.exe.log and pvrx2.exe-native.log and I'll take a look.

I had a much similar problem some time ago, but not the same video-card. I found that the Intervideo decoder worked fine.

Edit:
Everything labeled Cyberlink is crap :p

Hi Sub, I got it to work. It tuns out I specified nvidia decoder for video but I used something else for audio instead of nvidia, additionally I was not using "DVD Navigation" I was using "cyberlink navigation" - Thanks
