TV-OUT

[sashaluda]

Hi!

It'd be realy nice if DD could somehow glue it's OSD to the picture sent to TV-OUT by card like mine (Geforce4mx).

What (and I think I understand it a little) is happening now -- Overlay on TV gets only the results of MPEG2 decoder (in my case ffdshow) but not the extra activities like OSD done by DD.

Please tell me if it's impossible.

Thanks for your great work.

hi,
if you can make the geforce mx show/reflect the screen on TV-OUT instead of overlay, it might be possible to see OSD on TV.

Well, that's true. But, than I can't use computer independently from TV -- both screens will be busy with DD picture

Although, now I think I could try to (instead of sending overlay to TV) use TWiN view -- wich is expansion of monitor to two devices. If I try realy hard, I might be able to make it comfortable

Thanks.

Hi
I have the same problem with my ATI card. I always use my computer independently from TV too and I can't use OSD on TV.

Thank you for your work. DD is realy a great soft.

I also use "Fullscreen vido on secondary device" to watch DVB on tv-out independent of main display work.

And NVidia Twin mode is not very nice, because you always loose your mouse pointer on secondary display (which would be tv-out with DVBDream working full-screen).

In CloneView mode you basically have copy of the main display on tv-out, and when overlay/vmr video plays it is displayed fullscreen on tv-out only.

Could it be very hard to implement OSD (which is even accessible by DVBDream API) to be rendered directly as subpicure on VMR/VMR9? I know it is not so easy and effective to render it "manually" on simple overlay, but VMR/VMR9 has some internal mixing capabilities. And VMR accepts DXVA accellerated material from MPEG decoder, so very nice deintarlacing is performed (50 fps frok interlaced material using motion prediction - bob deinterlacing). Sending DXVA material to non VMR renderer disables any usage of hardware deintelacing which results in simple - blurred - deintralacing, because these 25/24 fps are "generated" from 50 halfframes, so in fact we see 2 frames as the one. And the result is blur, especially when fast scene change occurs or scroll text is displayed (any news station).

I need this feature too
