v1.4b - small stable freezing (VMR only ?)

please confirm this here, if you notice it again in v1.4c

(I've just cut the previous thread. :) )
Channel changing is OK now in 1.4b, but small stable freezes are still there, but only with VMR9. In v1.3c it's all working good - same channels/codecs/renderers/settings/ch. list/plugins...
ok , can you try by disabling the log file again?

No log / no timeshift / no delay for stability while ch. changing.

Important! Switch between these 2 channels to reproduce the freezing:

- crashed almost every time I tried, it's even worse now, it's very hard to kill the application, error dialogs and DD is freezing - Win task manager doesn't work, I have to use the task bar, select close few times... I'll try the newer version later (but with 1.3c it's working perfect)

to make ffdshow work
install last version www.free-codecs.com
go to config and enable MPEG2 Decoding
see in codec program permision isn't DD blocked

saentist - thanks, but it was just some strange problem, it's working now.

So here is report for ffdshow:

FFDShow (v1.0.4.11 - 30. 10. 2007)
FFDShow (v1.0.4.11 - 30. 10. 2007)
- with "Reset DS after channel chnage" disabled there are old problems - delay, fast play, then it's OK - if enabled, it works good
- overlay - doesn't work (also in 1.3c)
- vmr/vmr9 - small, or very small stable freezing

Can anyone else confirm the freezing?? Please check at least Sonic, there is big freezing, also without channel changing, check this version and channel:

Sonic DVB (v2.5.3.16 - 26. 3. 2003)

19.2°E 12382,H,27500 CT24 (UPC Direct) 4:2:0 (FTA)

1.4d (differences between c and d are highlighted):

No log / no timeshift / no delay for stability while ch. changing.

Important! Switch between these 2 channels to reproduce the freezing - always test on CT24 - it's the best channel to test (watch the moving text):

I have the freezing (with some codecs) also in 1.3c now, don't know why, perhaps the new filters... All codecs were working perfect with 1.3c when I have tested them few days ago.

Channels turn on in 1.4d longer than in 1.4c. This looks so that he the painting the moment is motionless (about 1s) after the inclusion of the channel and touches after moments . Something is in the version 1.4x not so from some codek. The version 1.3c works however the most quickly but my card works from 1.4x well. I have the small hint to let go 1.4 with the responsible engine for the video from 1.3c (as yet to the inspection)

Version 1.4d I have same symptoms. CPU ussage about 30% and freezings. When I change codecs to Cyberlink seems ok. But its reapires on some channels. I supose channels with high FEC. Its starts from version 1.4; 1.3c works fine.

@Dreamer, is there still picture-freeze problems in latest vesion on those 19.2 channels?
(I don't have access to 19.2e to test at the moment, my motorized system has got broken, *I'm fixed to 13e*)
