EDID Overrides to solve bitstreaming issues for ATI 5xxx's - Page 7

Just installed the override, still only 60HZ. Before the override, i only had 2 resolutions available, i now have 4 just like when connected directly to PJ. Good ATI fashion, if they fix something, 3 other things get screwed.
Thanks again
tony

UPDATE--- Got 24hz back Seems there's a bug on the ATI Drivers (what a surprise), ATI aware of it, found this note on the release notes for 10.2--
"Refresh rate changes may revert back to 60 Hz (default) when "Enable GPU Scaling"
is enabled under Digital Panel Properties attributes", and indeed it was the problem, i disabled GPU scaling, Forced the 1080P 24hz mode and sure enough screen went blank and 24HZ is back..
Went ahead and re-installed 10.2 but made sure GPU scaling was disabled, sure enough have all sorts of different resolutions/Hz available now.


Again, thanks so much for trying to fix this for me and all the others

The good news - I installed the TMT .170 patch and bitstreaming is working fine with my 5670 card. I tested with short segments from Cast Away and Batman Dark Knight so I could test both DTS and Dolby modes and the appropriate lights were lit on the Denon AVP.

The (sort of) bad news - I'm still having the issue where the video card switches to a display mode the TV doesn't like when the AVP and TV are turned off. It doesn't seem to happen every time (same as before the override). I can try installing the HDMI Detective and see if that resolves the problem. As an alternative, my remote control can send commands to Girder to switch the screen resolution, so I can probably just add a step to the activities that make use of the HTPC and work around this problem (this might actually be more reliable and/or better than adding the HDMI Detective to the mix). I wasn't exactly expecting that the override would fix this, just hoping.

Tulli - I think it's safe to add this to the list of working overrides. The problem that still exists is no worse than prior to installing the override.

Hello,

i have a question according the EDID override. Few days ago i used Entech Monitor Asset Manager 2.4 to create INF-Files of my Panasonic TX-L37GT14 (same as TX-LGW10) TV and the inbuild 7" Touchscreen HAI SG7.

I used the real-time EDID's to create the INF-Files and made no changes. After that i installed the INF-Files so that the monitors are listed in device manager with their real names.

Yesterday i started Monitor Asset Manager again and saw, that the real-time EDID's are not longer shown in the tool. How can switch back to use the real-time EDID's and not the registry-values?

I need them to do some tests. Yersterday i connected my Denon AVR1610 the first time and i think, the hdcp-handshake is ok. I played some Blue-Ray and DVD with my HTPC and the DENON showed and (i guess) played the right sound format. Hardware:

HTPC with AMD-Platform, ATI 4670 graphics card and Auzentech Home Theater sound card, Windows 7 Ultimate and PowerDVD Ultra.
Connection via HDMI-cable: graphics card hdmi out -> Auzentech hdmi in -> Auzentech hdmi-out - Denon hdmi in -> Denon hdmi out - Panasonic tv hdmi in.

Now i would like to check the hdcp chain with the real-time EDID's but i don't know how to restore the real-time values to windows 7.

Hello Tulli,

thanks for your reply. I don't know anything about a bug in Monitor asset manager, but i want to ask you something for my general understanding:

If there are real-time edid's AND registry edid's, what information is windows preferring to use to communicate with the monitor?

Can i delete the monitors in the device manager and delete the selfmade inf-files in C:\\Windows\\inf, so that windows takes the real-time edid's after disconnect and connect the monitors?

I want to make sure, that the system needs the modded EDID-Files. So i have to check first for any issues with the real-time EDID.

How do i see, that a edid-information is incomplete?

thank you & greetings
Knuddel 256

Sorry for my poor english

Hello Tulli,

I hope you would be kind enough to assist me on modifying the EDID below.
I am still having problem with the 3808 & Samsung plasma EDID override posted in your 1st post. Many thanks.

Hi Tulli,

I actually updated the firmware of the onboard video and now it works perfectly fine. thank you for your help anyways! much appreciated

I hope you all can provide me with assistance with a custom EDID for my Denon AVR-3808CI and Panasonic TH-50PZ700U Plasma television.

I have tried the custom one that most resembled mine (The other 40 Panasonic one), however I still experience audio issues (no 3rd option in PowerDVD), and am experiencing video drop out and resolution related issues.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

As a side note: I am currently doing a clean system reformat/reinstallation to rule out anything on my end being goofy.

Hi Tulli!

I'm trying to get my HTPC to work with your overrides. I first tried the "Sony 52W5500 - Denon AVR1910" which matches my setup well. The display worked flawless but I couldn't get it to bitstream TrueHD. DTS-MA worked as it did before the override. I looked at the audio block in the override and found that the audio block from Denon AVR1910 contains the two following entries for TrueHD:

65 7E 00 = TrueHD 6 channels 44-192kHz
67 1E 00 = TrueHD 8 channels 44-96kHz

I double checked with getEDID and the audio block from the real time capture looked the same. This means that my amp says it cannot receive TrueHD 8 channels 192kHz which is what ffdshow tries to send when bitstreaming any TrueHD.

Then I tried "Sony 40W2000 - SONY STR-DG820". The audio block from the DG820 indicates support for TrueHD 8 channels 192kHz. With this override TrueHD streams perfectly even though my amp says it can't receive that format. Unfortunately the display part of this override did not work very well for me (no 24P among other things).

Anyway: Would it be possible for you to make an override for me combining the TV "Sony 52W5500" and the amp "Sony STR-DG820"?

Regards,
Rasmus

It's a video problem. It reverts to 1080i 60hz every time the tv is switched on.
I can bitstream both DTSMA + TrueHD with your Samsung Plasma + Denon mod.
I got to manually set it back to 1080p 60hz with CCC profile manager.
Thanks

Set up:
Sapphire 5670
ATI driver 10.2 (no realtek driver)
Vista x64 Ultimate
Samsung plasma B650
Denon 4310 + XPA5

Thanks a lot! Now that the 52W5500+AVR1910 is fixed I will use that.

Hi Tulli

Maybe I spoke a bit too soon on the initial VPL VW85/AVP A1 working - I;m having some opdd crackling on certain lossy tracks - not sure if its related to the EDID override, but since I saw the new tools including vladds, I redid the capture through my 5670 card to see if a new override fixes things.

I appreciate it. (Again this captured using vladds latest tool from my 5670 to avp-a1/vpl-vw85 projector combination...

Thanks kindly

Yes, TMT 170....is there anything else out there than can play BDMV folder structures? PDVD 9 cannot, nor can WinDVD 2010 from what I've read...

Thanks

Tulli. Many thanks. It would save me a long way from screen refresh problem.
I am very glad and grateful of this little help.

Tulli,

Would you be so kind as to create a custom inf file for my setup (ATI 5850 --> Denon AVR1909 --> Sony KDL40 D3000). I have tried the "generic" samsung + denon and samsung + onkyo files but they don't display the correct resolution for my display which is nativly 1360x768. I can however run the display at 1080p/i and have HD sound using the first of the two inf's. I have also tryed the other inf but they produce an "unsuported resolution" message on my screen.

Many thanks, and keep up the good work.

@Tulli

Just to confirm, my Denon AVP-A1HD-A is still working today without the override

Looks like I'm the first to have this experience.

BTW I'm using the Gabest Splitter in conjunction with WMC to play MKV's

Rev 3246 Jan 30th

Just to be clear as abbreviations can be misunderstood especially by me

I am using the standard Media Center within Win 7.

Yes it was an Albian build

Ran the check and found five Generic drivers. No Denon Override. I would have been surprised if it was there after requesting deletion during removal.

I also tried to see if I could load the file without using my install directory and Win 7 could not find it.

One final confirmation, you may recall that I cannot use my PJ and Kuro with different parameters when the Override is in place. That restriction is now gone and I have full control over both displays.
