Strange DVD Playback issue - unable to highlight menus

[haubrija]

Hi all,

I'm having a strange problem with my dvd playback. I recently installed the latest sage and am using the SageMc stv.

Upon starting a DVD in Sage, the DVD properly goes to the Root Menu. The problem is is when it get there, none of the choices on the menu are highlighted as they would be in a normal DVD player. I can actually navigate the menu, but I can't see what I'm doing.

Has anyone else had this problem? Here's my requisite information:

Video Decoder: Nvidia Post Processor
Audio Decoder: Nvidia Audio
Post Processor: FFdshow upconverting to 1776x1000
AnyDVD running in background
Video Renderer: VMR9 FSE
Audio Renderer: Reclock

Video card: Radeon 9600xt

Thanks for any help

Try changing your DVD video renderer to overlay. That should take care of it until this bug is squashed. Several people (including myself) have seen this.

Try setting the registry value:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Frey Technologies\SageTV\DirectX9\YUVMixing=0

and see if that fixes the issue for you.

Thx for the response. I'll try it when I get home and report back.

Been meaning to post but my results but kept forgetting.

Unfortunately, the above fix didn't work for me but also introduced additional problems. After making the above change to the registry, I still was unable to navigate dvd menus. And upon making the change, the change introduced the bug described here:

which took me a bit to diagnose and figure out what the problem was.

Now, doing a bit more investigating, it seems the problem lies between the Nvidia Post Processor. I've been using the following filter chain with ZoomPlayer for months before I switched over to Sage: VMR9 FSE+Nvidia Decoder+Nvidia Post Processor+FFdshow (upscaling to 1776x1000 and gradual denoising). Now choosing the Nvidia Post Processor in the DVD tab in Sage apparently leads to the inability to highlight menus. I tried changing the mpeg2 decoder to just the Nvidia decoder and I was able to navigate menus again. I hope this gets fixed soon as I've loved my previous filter chain and thought it produced the best results.

The reg fix worked on my box. Thanks Narflex.

I just tried this on two different boxes and it didn't work for either one. I'll turn in a bug report.

Its been a minor annoyance to me, Im glad to see Im not the only one.

Do you have the latest Nvidia decoder? I recall having a similar problem with an older version of Theatertek 2, which also used nvidia decoders, and was fixed with a more recent update.

The YUXMixing setting works...but introduces problems elswhere. This has been around a while. Minor annoyance for me.

I had just rebuilt my machine from scratch following a disk corruption problem and found this issue.

I solved it by changing the decoder to Nvidia instead of the post processor. The post processor that is installed is the latest Gold version of the PureVideo software.

I hope this can be fixed soon but for now it is working.
