    Cannot reliably use hardware acceleration for blu ray title

    Hi,
    We rented "Avengers: Age of Ultron" blu ray yesterday and found that it would play through the Title menu and random parts of the movie previews, but then the display goes black while audio seems to continue playing - skipping through the disc doesn't alleviate the situation. Sometimes, it would just start "chugging" with the disc and require a program stop.

    I found that running Media Player 2 (2.5.0.5) in "software" decoding mode works more reliably, but that the above problems occur when selecting DXVA or CUDA. Is this a known problem when selecting hardware acceleration, perhaps?

    This Windows 7 64-bit system (32GB RAM) uses a NVidia GTX 760-based display card with 4GB.

    I have a GTX 980 and I don't have any luck either. I just leave it set to software and all is well.

      Could be the nvidia driver version. That seems to be the cause of most CUDA problems within DVDFab. Try rolling back to an earlier one.

        I have an Asus matrix GTX 980 with the latest drivers and have no issues.

          Are we all on the same page? This thread is about playback with mediaplayer right? I don't have issues with DVDFab. Set the mediaplayer to anything but software and problems.

            Yes, that's the issue, thanks: I'm only describing Media Player's current inability to use hardware acceleration in a stable fashion on my system.

            I am using the latest NVidia drivers and really don't want to downgrade.

            By contrast, DVDFab 9 seems fine when set to use hardware acceleration for encoding.

              I can confirm this h264 playback problem with DXVA and CUDA.
              Since v2.5.x I only have a black screen with sound.
              The thumbnails with the mousepointer over the timeline are shown correctly.
              The latest working version for me is v2.4.4.1
              Tested on two Win10-PC GTX275 and ION and the version of the nvidia driver does not matter.
              Btw: other player like MPC work fine with CUDA

                same here, last working is v2.4.4.1
                the new 2.5.x play my bluray with low fps rate, both DXVA or software.
                same AMD video driver (I have try an update from AMD site without success).

                if I can help in some way (log, ecc...) please tell me how.

                regards.

                  I have 4 computer Win7Pro x64. All updates. The latest versions of video drivers.
                  Video cards:
                  Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 Ti
                  ATI Radeon HD 7750 (2 pcs.)
                  Intel HD 3000 (in the laptop)

                  Hardware acceleration (DXVA and CUDA) does not work anywhere for about a year.
                  There is only sound and a black screen.

                  Software decoder running everywhere.

                    My PC is running Win10 x64 Pro. Using the video adapter "Intel Iris Pro Graphics 6200" as the only graphic card the newest player version (2.5.0.5) is running smoothly with Intel Quick Sync .

                    But it's quite curious that DVDFab (9.2.1.5) is not supporting IQS on the same machine [outdated link removed].

                      It is not for you to comment on other threads or problems that you are not experiencing. An old thread in a different forum is not a proper subject for the Media Player forum. Start a thread of your own in the correct forum if you are experiencing this.

                        I'm also having the same issue of black screen with sound that is skipping forward.

                        My setup is Nvidia 680 using driver version 358.50.

                          DVDFab Media Plaer 2.5.0.5

                          Software decoder - OK
                          DVXA - OK
                          CUDA - does not work. Only the sound and black screen
