Hello, sorry for my bad english; since the last version :
before the new install , i deleted %APPDATA%\vlc, I'm ingeneer in computer. No Spyware , no adware on PC.

W7, , vlc 2.1.0 , I open

- file avi ( xvid + mp3) in console windows,
when Input Codec : Hardware Accelerated decoding is on disable , Vlc run well
when Input Codec : Hardware Accelerated decoding is on Automatic or DXVA2.0 , Vlc crash and send a repport

- file mkv 720p + AC3
when Input Codec : Hardware Accelerated decoding is on disable or on Automatic or DXVA2.0 , Vlc run well
this test to proove that acceleration ati HD550 is OK ( CPU < 10% when is on Automatic) , it's fine

So , waiting a new version.
Thanks a lot.

Disable GPU then

Hello

As I said in my last post, https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=114272

VLC has a big bug when video is in divx/xvid and option GPU activted or in automatic

no pb with h264 ( mkv or flv )

I tested it on w8 64 bits HD4000 o radeon , and w7 32b radeon 5500 HD

Thanks

Strangely, I'm having the exact same problem (Win 8.1 x64, Intel HD 4000 + Nvidia GT650M optimus, full-hd). Never had anything like this before ver. 2.1.0.

Any updates on the matter? (can/will be fixed?)

It will be fixed, when we can reproduce.

I don't know if this is the same issue, but I've identified an incompatibility between several of the deinterlacing modes and GPU acceleration.

System details:

• VLC 2.1.0
• Windows 8 x64
• NVIDIA GTX 760, latest drivers
• 1080i content from a Major US TV Provider, H.264 + AC3 in MPEG-TS

Depending on the deinterlacing mode chosen, VLC either crashes or fails to display the video properly.

Many of the simpler blend modes work correctly: discard, blend, mean, and linear.

The X mode is instant death: turn it on, and VLC crashes if GPU acceleration is turned on. (I have allowed VLC to send a crash report for this one.) If GPU acceleration is off, VLC doesn't crash, indicating that the problem isn't with X or the video data independently. And, the other tests tell us that the problem isn't with the GPU independently. It only happens with X + GPU.

The Bob and Yadif modes don't crash, but the resulting video looks like it's decoding the macroblocks correctly but not putting them on screen in the right locations:



This occurs for several seconds, then they start decoding correctly.

It may be an illusion, but I think the scene clears up briefly every few seconds. If so, it may be that I frames always decode correctly, then get corrupted by the following P and B frames.

The Yadif 2x mode behaves the same way, except that it never seems to start decoding correctly. I've let it run for several minutes.

Quick update: the linear mode is unreliable with GPU acceleration. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

All those VLC deinterlace modes are implemented in software anyway; the GPU is not involved. VLC version 2.1 does not support GPU deinterlacing.

Nevertheless, these modes all work on my system when GPU acceleration is turned off. There is clearly some interaction between these code paths.
