Yxy Not Work With Windvd4.0

1 - 17 of 17 Posts
If you're using WinXP, then WinDVD 4.0 maybe using the Video Mixing Renderer filter. Just a brief background, the VMR is a new way to allow multiple video streams to be displayed simultaneously. That's were the mixer part of the name comes from. Another feature of the VMR is that it can render video across multiple displays. For example, if you have two monitors it would be possible to display half the image on one screen and half on the other. This is something that many people with projectors have been requesting from some time, and which has always been difficult or impossible with overlays. Unfortunately, YXY will not affect the output of the VMR. If you force WinDVD to use the overlay instead of the VMR, then YXY should work fine.
YxY compatibility problem with WinDvd 4 ... this is desastrous
that little app is so great ... it does only a few fonctions and that just great
i use it all the time !
maybe we could convince (beg) Jim Ferguson (the conceptor of YxY) to add support for WinDvd 4 ...
looks like he pushed that project aside since a while ... let's hope he can help us out
... plz Jim
ps
let's bump that thread until he saves our lives

Hi Guys,
Wish I could help. I haven't used WinDVD in years. I'm a confirmed TheaterTek user. I'm not even set up so I can compile the YXY program at this point. Work commitments have made it so I can barely watch movies let alone work on free software

i'm sorry to ear that Jim ... i understand
any chance you could let someone else work on YxY ? ... i would be happy to give it a shot ...
my HTPC is set in such a way that i need to set the bottom of WS movies images at a specific height ... YxY was my solution !
in any case, thx for work you did
ciao ... Martin

cyran0,
You might try ZoomPlayer which has some of the features of YXY built in. If you're not familiar with ZoomPlayer, I think you'll find that it's a great application. A little more complicated than a stand alone DVD player, but much more powerful. It uses your existing DVD decoding software (Directshow Filters) so your investment in WinDVD 4.0 won't go to waste. And it should be possible to have a filter graph that uses the Overlay surface rather than the VMR.

Hi Cyran0:
___TheaterTek has all the functionality of YXY plus more given Andrew (coder of TheaterTek) helped write some of the later code for YXY. It is definitely worth the investment for both the great native Ravisent decoder and the “not in your face†interface
___Good Luck

Hi William:
___And the title of the thread is … “Yxy Not Work With Windvd4.0†and not “Need audio software decodingâ€. AR control from TheaterTek is second to none.

OK Wayne how is this. I use WinDVD 4 because I need audio software decoding to my Delta 410. I need YxY for standard and non enhanced letterbox DVDs because I use a DILA with an ISCO2 lens. TT will not do both so I need YxY to work with WinDVD 4 or TT to decode DD and DTS.

Hi Vern:
___Actually, I cannot 1 – pixel match the AR of the overlay to my display without the highlighted border of TheaterTek … Zoom Player sports a very slight purple line (unless I am missing a setting once again) but I can’t quite make it out on all 4 corners at their extremes with a non-Square pixel custom T&R. With TheaterTek, this is child’s play.
___PS: I also own both TheaterTek and ZP
___William, I feel for you … With this thread I discovered the YXY incompatibilities with WinDVD 4.0 as well. I doubt either Andrew or Jim will give any more time towards YXY but it sure was a great program for so many of us over the last almost two years
___Good Luck
William: As an edit: I have been unsuccessfully trying to use Windows last position/size memory for screen position with WinDVD 4.0. This doesn’t work corretly with this version of WinDVD either. WinDVD 4.0 would be a pretty hot little HTPC app if it had a blanking and YXY feature. Blight might be able to incoroporate the proper filter graph into ZP which may help you out but from my use of 2.60, it is not in the cards with this version anyway. Even the defaults under ZP 2.60 are not correct in that I cannot get DTS from either disc or rip of a DTS DVD I am playing back right now In its present form, (without YXY AR and blanking support) WinDVD 4.0 is unuseable for me as well …

Hi,
The WinDVD 4.0 filters work flawless with ZoomPlayer in my setup. I own a sblive card and i get dd and dts by using the "WinDVD v3 for Default waveout device" graph
