Playback Suggestions

[Blieb]

Cannon HF100 ... so AVCHD ...

I have haali media splitter as well as FFDShow installed.

I can watch the videos in Windows Media Player 11, but the audio playback is delayed.

I've tried googling a bit and general tinkering, but can't seem to get it right. The delay amount ranges ...

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

I suggest a codec pack like CCCP or K-Lite Mega Codec and play it via Media Player Classic

For all video playback purposeses, I found nothing beats KMP or GOM. Compared to WMP11 or whatever, you get a lot more options and tweaks.

if you have a ps3, just plug it in to the ps3 using usb. awesome for viewing.

Thanks ...


Akumax - I have the codecs, but not as a pack ... did them individually ...

Deadtrees - Thanks. I did some googling and a lot of people like GOM and something called VLC ... I may try this first because it's straight forward ...

theblackbox - no PS3 ... :

VLC is a completely codec-less solution. it usually works 100% of the time.

I tend to go with codec packs because it interlink video and audio codec matrices.

Still have audio delay.

Tried CCCP and GOM ... Is this a hardware issue? Losing frames or something? The audio ends and then the visual keeps going.

System Specs:

Vista 64 bit
Intel Dual Core 2.4ghz
4gb ram
files on 1tb RAID 1

Will test file! AVCHD right? I should be able to stick it in my PS3 as part of testing too

 

[Blieb]

Yep. Straight outta my HF100 ... Thanks!

Wow, this file really kicked my @%&!!!
Normal playback is definitely problematic for me -_-

A 1920x1080i 29.97 file should be simple enough, but i guess it might have something to do with the AVCHD spec.

Media Player Classic HD choked (K-Lite Mega Pack)
VLC 0.9.9 choked

Nero Showtime actually worked! And since it's an interlaced file, it recognized it as interlaced and ran some kind of software deinterlacer on it... although it wasn't very good at all (looked like bob or frame duping), but the file was completely playable w/ perfect video/audio sync

The winner of it all? The Playstation 3!!

Simple playback via copied to PS3 hdd or played off USB stick.

However, the most amazing thing that came out of it, was that the PS3 knew exactly how to play back this file
Used whatever it does to make it playback w/o any hint of deinterlacing, looked like a progressive image
But what really fooled my mind was that, on playback, it felt like i was viewing a 60fps file - i have 30fps (29.97) and 60fps (59.94) content on there, and you could definitely tell the difference. But this AVCHD really made it seem like it was playing back @ 60fps... if I had gotten that HF100, i would have been strictly be recording @ 1280x720p @ 60fps, but not so sure, haha!

yeah, i plug my hf s10 directly into the ps3 to check raw footage, who would have thought the ps3 is the best way to check out avc footage.

if you do pulldown removal and print 24p, the ps3 does one heck of a job with 1080p footage. especially on a 46"+ screen.
