Hi,

Standard DirectShow Encoding failed.
3.0.554.34012 Beta4 at Win7.

What is going wrong?

Hi Holger,

Can you please provide some more info about your setup?
- Are you using Haali media splitter? I am able to reproduce similar issue using Haali, I get the error "Graph could not change state: At least one of the pins involved in the operation is already connected", is this also seen at your end?
- Would it be possible to share the MP4 file you are using so that we can reproduce your exact scenario?

Also, from the trace log I can see that HW acceleration is not used? What platform are you running your solution on?

Regards,
Petter

Hi Petter,

many thanks for your quick response.

Haali-Splitter was used in one case.

The "already connected" error is with MainConcept, but not with Haali on my system.

I have uploaded two media files for your tests.

Please read alldetails:

Hi Holger,

The URL to "IMAG0031.MP4" file is not working. Could you please upload again.

Regarding your platform configuration. The "Intel i7 860" is an older platform that does not support HW acceleration of encode. Also I see that you have a discrete card attached. If this is set to primary card, then HW acceleration via Media SDK will not work by default. You can either disconnect that card or follow the details in the Media SDK manual appendix to use Intel Processor Graphics via secondary monitor.
Also, make sure you use the latest Intel graphics driver for your platform.

Regards,
Petter

Hi Petter,

Both links are physically exists, but the pdf has not linked these files correctly.

I'm interesting on hw-acceleration and software encoding.
First, the software variant should work.
I hope that's possible.

Thanks,
Holger

Hi Holger,

I still cannot get to "http://www.prodad.de/public/download/IMAG0031.MP4". Can you please make sure it's there?

Hi Petter,

That's very strange. The link works on my site (Europe).

Both video files are attached this post.

Hi Holger,

sorry for the late reply on this post. We have been exploring your way of using the Media SDK sample filters and have the following comments and suggestions.

The DirectShowvideo encoder/decoder filters that are shipped with Media SDK are samples and due to limited resources we can only ensure support (and validate) for a small range of filters that may be connected with the sample filters. The "MS DTV-DVD Video Decoder" is unfortunately not part of our validation and therefore it's not surprising that you have encountered some issues.

We did perform some debugging using your setup and have assessed that supporting the DTV-DVD filter is not trivial, partially due to the way frame surfaces are handled.

We will continue to enhance our samples as part of the Media SDK product but we cannot commit to resolving this specific issue. We are also exploring how we can extend decoder samples to support other splitters than the binary reference splitters that is shipped with the SDK.

So based on this, may I suggest you instead explore using the SDK provided mp4 and mpeg splitters. Unfortunately this does not cover all types of content but it may partly satisfy your needs.

If you are adventurous you can explore making the required encoder filter changesyourself. After All, these are samples, you are free to modify in any way.

Regards,
Petter
