    haha steve you’re a god-send, now i know that i must downgrade to solve this problem that’s been puzzling me for weeks 😉

    I will send my findings to Sony !

    EDIT : Is it possible to install 2 different versions of SVP on the same computer ?

    Nice catch Steve!

    I gotta try an old version with another AVC decoder issue I found. Bad performance with GoPro 1080p60 files. John Rofrano tried my example and it worked fine on VP11, and bad perf on VP12 but I don’t know what build he was using.

    I just have to find where I can download these things.

    Has everything but VegasPro 12. It has all the MovieStudio12 stuff.

    Can you Dropbox the 563 Steve?

    MainConcept has had a “difficult” VP12 later-build journey. I’ve not been using MC for MP4. Sounds like the MC MP4 is also needing investigation too. Cedric, please try the SONY MP4 and determine if you get that 100% jump in FPS too. With that under your belt put that to SONY.

    Sony MP4 doesn’t support variable bitrate, that’s why I use MainConcept.

    Repro-ed using my very own MainConcept AVC MP4 Render but using Cedric’s Template numbers.

    Results:

    VP12 B770 – Choked and needed to kill in Task Manager.
    I also tried lower Max and Average Rates. This time I got VP12 B770 at least attempting to load the file.

    Sub Testing using lower bitrates:
    Cedric Rates (as said) = Crash
    MAX10 and AVG4 = Better but Crash
    MAX4 and AVG2 = Better still but ultimately a Crash

    VP11 Bxxx = Played fine.

    Windows Media Player = Played fine.

    NB: But using the SONY MP4 and as many/much of the Cedric numbers and settings – oh yeah, MAX here I set to 20+ (!), It played fine back in VP12 B770.

    So, to repeat, as far as I am concerned there IS a B770 MC bug in the B770 and the SONY MP4 renders and plays fine. One of several differences is that OpenCL isn’t available to choose in the SONY template.

    HTHs?

    Yeah, I see that. Cedric look at the results I got below. SONY needs to make more “convergence” in Templates available to us Users. Could be MC is working on this too?

    Great findings and thank you so much for trying to spot the problem !

    I’ll report this to Sony.

  • Graham Bernard

    You’re welcome Cedric.

    Yeah, this “de-bugging” is sometimes like One Step Forward and XXX stepsa backwards, and so on, a bit like deinterlace with bad re-sampling!

    You’d be pleased to know I have sent it to SONY too.

    Cheers

    [Graham Bernard] “One of several differences is that OpenCL isn’t available to choose in the SONY template.”

    Sony AVC does use OpenCL on AMD cards. It uses CUDA on Nvidia cards. Its option is GPU if available which is the smart way to list the option.

    It is confusing of MV AVC to list OpenCL and CUDA separate since for MC AVC OpenCL only supports certain AMD cards and CUDA only supports Nvidia cards.

    Been scouring the forums for the link to the 563 build but can’t find it. I guess my search skills are deteriorating. Does anyone have the link?

    Thanks,
