nVDVD 1.22

[Jib]

thank you ))
I discovered this with a good luck !!!
Tell us if you discover the faulty codec !

Well -- it appears it's the AC-3 decoder in the Nimo Codec Pak. If I install the Nimo basic profile NVDVD will not run without the Codec error. If install using the basic profile and deselect the AC-3 decoder from the list of Codecs to be installed -- all is fine !!

Great tip Jib !!!

BTW -- is it me or do movies look a tad "sharper" with NVDVD than PowerDVD XP or even WinDVD ?? Must say, I like what I see so far !!!

 

[Jib]

I had doubts about the AC3 decoder, so now I know I have to get rid of it !!

You know what, I am using nvdvd with my ATI Radeon 8500 card ))) and it works great, even with hardware acceleration!
The image and sound seem to be perfect, even though nvdvd uses more CPU than PowerDVD or WinDVD.

I like nvdvd interface, and compared to ATI DVD Player, the one from nvidia is much more nice ! and it decodes 5.1 (impossible with ATI), and I have a 5.1 system without external decoder....

thanks for the tip. i wouldn't of thought it was teh nimo codec pack

who what have ever thought is was NIMO, what a discovery, thanks again for taking the time to find it out and for posting your news, you helped out many people, that darn AC3 codec!

NIMO CODEC

I also noticed the following about the NIMO CODEC faults:


Do not chose the "G400 Filter" if you do not have G400 graphic cards
Do not install the "Direct Show Bicubic Resizer Filter" if you are getting upside-down video playback when installed.
Do not install "AC3 Coded" or NVidia's NVDVD will give you an error.

here is another fix i came across, if you have another dvdplayer installed - > do this in the command shell : regsvr32 -u c:\windows\system32\iviaudio.ax ( if you have windvd ! ) - this disables the audio directshowfilter ( windvd) and allows ndvd to use its own --- the same procedure with powerdvd ( but i dont now the name of the audio codec ! ) --- if you deinstall some of the named player , all is away but not the filters - they remain installed..

Another thing I forgot to mention is that I and other members of the HTPC community are incredably happy with the load speed, an the fact that if you close the application the dvd will resum efrom exactly the same position as when you quit... Awesome stuff.. it has great potential.

WOW...Dude ...

Damn I wish I had this. I don't particularly like powerDVD or winDVD. I happen to be a huge nVidia supporter as well. I have to get my hands on this somehow!

The patch can now be found here:

Downloaded and found serial within 2 mins on a japenese site. worked first time and it is better than power dvd xp that i paid for.

 

[Daedalus]

anyone else noticed that nvDVD can be skinned?

in the main directory there are loads of images, and a .xml file, and the shortcut refers to this .xml file as a command-line argument.

cool!!!

 

[Electronic Punk]

Yes, thats what makes me suspect it is a WMp6.4 clone that can only play DVD files and thus uses its oen video filter... nice tho. And the video filter is sweet.

For those of you still having problems with the error message :-

"Nvidia Audio Decoder not found.This Program runs only with Nvidia Decoders."

Try moving the Ac3dec.dll file in the Windows\system32 folder to another directory\folder .......... worked for me.

 

[Not Bman]

Where can i get it ?

 

[Okino]

It's still available here:-

Anyone have any idea why i am getting the following error?

-------------- E R R O R M E S S A G E B E L O W----------------------

"Unable to find the NVIDIA Audio Decoder. This application will only run with NVIDIA decoders."

The audio filter that comes with nvdvd isn't registered.

Go to the directory you installed it in (in a command prompt window) and type (less the quotes) "regsvr32 nvauddec.ax"

That should take care of the problem.

edit: it looks like some other people have found the problem to be in the nimo pack. Apparently the nimo ac3 codec automatically assumes the highest priority and prevents the nvidia ac3 codec from loading.

What GeForce card do you have? On my GF3 Ti200 I do not have all of those de-interlacing options. I have "Display fields separately" and "Blend fields".
