Hardware accelerated movies and subtitles with diacritics on Windows Media Player - video tutorial

Hi friends, this video tutorial will show you what hardware acceleration for watching movies on the desktop, the CPU load will be close to zero even when playing a movie MP1080 4p container with AVC High Profile video (h264 @ 2.2 Mbps) and 128 Kbps AAC audio.
Normally such a video file consume a lot of resources to run if hardware acceleration is used (+ video card Nvidia Cuda or Stream AMD).
We know very well that most users use BSPlayer for video, unfortunately this player is not very efficient, it does not handle hardware acceleration very well. Among the "after market" players I can warmly recommend the Classic Media Player that comes integrated in the KLite codec package, also VLC Media Player is a very powerful player. Apart from the two, there are definitely others, but I can only recommend what I used.
By far the best player for the Windows platform is Windows Media Player, the more the new version better. Media Player has excellent integration with Windows and speaks very good video card, the CPU consumption when running Sintel 1080p MP4 is extremely small, sometimes 1%. Miracle comes from the fact that Windows Media Player is the perfect anchor system and can use resources without problems.
What is hardware acceleration?
Hardware acceleration means the use of components dedicated to specific task instead of a program that can keep the processor busy. In our case we use hardware acceleration means that the GPU video card is very suitable for this task, video cards like to play with pixels and as you can imagine a movie is a line of pixels on the screen and play sound in speakers by chance or not the latest models of video cards and sound cards integrated.
Graphics cards have a fantastic power of parallel processingCan make many operations simultaneously unlike serial processor makes calculations, one task at a time, which is why there are many core processors with hyperthrading, such as a processor core and hyperthrading has 4 8 execution lines with multicore processors and hyperthreading technology can do more things at once. Compared with 8 processor threads, a video card is up to several thousands of cores that can be used in parallel (Nvidia Cuda cores GTX660 has 960). There would be a lot to talk about GPU and CPU, maybe we will miss the problem in more detail on another occasion. Now let's go back…
One of the reasons people do not use Windows Media Player for playing movies is the lack of options in terms of subtitles. That's no problem, you just need to install Klit Codec Pack and the problems are solved, in the codec pack we also have the "DirectVobSub" book, which allows us to do what we want, from changing the fonts to displaying the diacritics and much more.
Another reason people do not use Windows Media Player is that the Windows version is not licensed. You should not worry, Microsoft already knows what's up and I do not think it would start a crusade in Romania.
Overall, I recommend Windows Media PlayerEspecially if you have an older processor but still want to watch HD movies.
You should remember that before installing the Klit Codec Pack you need to install the latest drivers for your video cards.
Other:
Maybe you want to enable diacritics and for writing the keyboard on Windows. You need this if you use Office, PDF, Documents, composition, etc.. To learn how to activate writing accented Romanian keyboard and I invite you to watch the tutorial: How to enable writing with diacritical marks (A, I, S, T, A) on Windows 7

  16. Watch this site for a long time and I must admit that many tutorials are interesting.
    Regarding this, I don't want to totally agree with Cristi. Indeed, when playing MP4 files, WMP consumes the fewest resources just like Splash Pro, but with an MKV container things change. Maybe a comparison should be made with the most used players and several file types. If you want to see a comparison with a MKV full hd file with the most used players…http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoGahlUQYxs.

  17. I forgot to mention that all players in the test were set to default except WMP which was set as the tutorial. If you enable hardware acceleration in VLC and result in a much lower consumption of resources. For me the best is Splash pro (is pay) followed by VLC.

  18. Media Player Classic - Home Cinema is the father of hardware acceleration. With the MPC-HC no codec is needed.

  19. Hi Cristi, please how can I remove the double subtitle? Because the bottom left on WMP subtitle appears once give less this time.

    I do not think the tutorial mentioned in the past that the Mac OS can be installed on any hardware. You got the wrong tutorial. You need a more special configuration to run Mac OS, it does not run on any hardware. There are already lists of compatible components, give them a simple search on Google but from there to say "Mac OS on any hardware" is a long way!

  30. Cristi Hello!
    First, I would argue (as I wont), and even correct you:
    No need to install any codecs package. Screw up the system with these great packages. Well I install exactly what you need:
    1. Install Haali Media Splitter for MKV container films
    2. Install DirectVobSub subtitle
    3. Full AC3Filter installed for DTS. WMP12 knows how to play the DTS encoded soundtracks. Once you have installed, enter the settings AC3Filter and leave checked only the DTS system tab
    4. The problem is that WPM12 is closed to third party codecs. In other words, you just installed what I wrote above, that WMP12 will refuse to use them. This is what Win7DSFilterTweaker is used for (you only use it for the first time, when you "configure" WMP12. After you have done your job with it, you can delete it.) Start Win7DSFilterTweaker, click on the Media Foundation button, and on the left, at media foundation (32-bit) ”make sure the entire column is checked. Apply & Close.
    So that is the whole trick. WMP12 remaining codecs are also included (compatible movies and WMV Hardware Acceleration MP4 (H264). Do not have to install anything extra.

    But I have to mention something: DirectVobSub "undo" video acceleration. DirectVobSub is a filter that "processes" he whole picture (not only subtitle). Thus hinder CPU.
    To convinde, you can try the following experiment:
    1. Get an 1080p film H264.MP4 quite demanding and have beside him and subtitle. Related srt. Turn it WMP12 and monitor CPU usage for 20 seconds, say.
    2. Close WMP12. Delete the file. SRT next film. The idea is that the movie is on again, subtitling should no longer load automatically. In fact, DirectVobSub not restart. Now open all the same movie, and monitor WMP12 20 sec CPU activity. You will find that without DirectVobSub, the CPU is less demanding.
    Christ, you please test what I say and write me what were you thinking.

    I did it differently, I don't know if it's the best method, but the results are good. The first time I installed coreavc (it is quite easy to find on torrents). After that I installed klite codec pack, I followed the standard settings (the only change… unchecking the toolbars). From what I notice, coreavc automatically integrates into windows media player and bsplayer. To be used in kmplayer, you must enter the settings — internal video codecs — and uncheck h264 and avc1. Coreavc also works in combination with the vobsub filter (windows media player 11 windows xp). For possible wmv files at 1920 × 1080 I use the classic home cinema media player (it has support for accelerating the video card for h264-based videos as well as for wmv). Only you will have to enter the settings of this player —— playback — output — - and choose a renderer that has DXVA support (I use VMR9 renderless). In principle, HD WMV files are not so demanding in terms of resources used and theoretically could be played without the support of video card acceleration.

      Typically players use software rendering, or use CPU power to play that video. Video card does not play much of a role in this case.
      But in some cases, such as rendering high-resolution files of WMV clips or those based on h264 (mp4, mkv, mov, m4v, f4v) - the task could be quite difficult for the processor. Therefore, in the case of older generation processors, rendering would either not be possible (locks, jerks, desynchronization of sound with image) or would be possible, but with the price of a fairly high consumption of resources (the processor can be loaded at over 70 -80%). So why not take the video card forward? Let's get it to process these files and take the weight off the processor. Of course, if we have a relatively new video card, it doesn't have to be expensive… but newer. For example, an nvidia GT 610 would suffice.
      If for example you have a processor generation i3 i5 or second or third, not really matter whether or not you support the video card to decode the video.

      Alas… how hard it can be. When you install klite codeck pack and get hardware acceleration to h264 and vc1 choose “native dxva2 video LAV”. However, as far as I know dxva2 is not available if you use windows xp as your operating system. If you are using Xp, choose MPC-hc internal dxva decoder. So much so that this option will only be valid if you use the "media player classic home cinema" player that comes integrated with this codec pack. Other players cred don't think they will be able to use this decoder. You will also need to enter the settings of this player –– play – output –- and choose a renderer that has DXVA support (I use Video mixing renderer 9 renderless). You can easily tell if MPC-HC uses DXVA mode… in the lower left after "playing" and write DXVA. If it doesn't write DXVA then hardware acceleration is not used — either because the video card is not compatible — or because you did something wrong.
      An alternative to what Cristi presented would be to search on Korean torrents (commercial codec). It also has support for cuda technology (nvidia boards) as well as for directx video acceleration technology (nvidia boards plus you have amd). However, from what I've noticed… coreavc kisses better with nvidia cuda, in dxva mode you may need to make different settings depending on each player… this to avoid errors)

  50. Hello! Please let me know if more advantages of using media player and a laptop are not dedicated video. Thanks in advance.

  51. If the admins answered all the questions, they would have no one to do tutorials. Take the Romanian-English dictionary and start searching on google, explore for yourself! You will learn better to solve a problem if you look for it and do not wait "wall to mouth"!

  52. Thanks for the tutorial, I was using vlc media player and bs player… I really didn't know the font thing. One advantage that the bs player had was that subtitles could be synchronized if there were gaps. Is it possible to synchronize with windows media player?

  53. Very interesting work and at the same time useful.

    To put subtitle on the black strip down in Wmplayer after you install k-lite codec pack:
    go to directvobsub, the "General" tab and up to Picture Size, change from Original Height to Extend to 4: 3.

  62. I think Windows Media Player is the worst video player. Is it knowing it to maximize certain functions of the OS and graphics card installed, but is a player pros. And I do not know how to load subtitles. Not even that. Not to mention the playlist, a stupidity

  63. I believe that Windows Media Player is a very good player. However, a reasonable comparison to be made between Windows Media Player and BS.Player PRO (for files that play HD and is a one player) or VLC Media Player (latest version).
    And in terms of PC resources to be serious… are reasonable in BS.Player PRO.
    Anyway appreciate tutorials made by Cristi and I wish you much continued success.

As a result, DirectShow subtitle filters like DirectVobSub is not used. Media Foundation Lacks Many common native support for subtitle formats.

    Media Foundation is used for the GMT file types: AVI, WMV, MP4, MOV, 3GP, M2TS.

    In case of AVI files, subtitles Will be displayed if DirectVobSub is installed. Media Foundation has a special workaround to make That Possible.

    For the other file formats Mentioned above You Need to disable Media Foundation in order to be Able to get subtitles. You can do that with the Win7DSFilterTweaker That tool is included with the codec pack. INSTEAD OF disabling Media Foundation, Also what works in most Cases is to disable the Microsoft DTV-DVD Video Decoder. You Can Also do that with the Win7DSFilterTweaker tool.

    If you have trouble getting DirectVobSub to load external subtitles for When ffdshow or LAV is set as preferred decoder H.264, THEN try setting the preferred decoder back to Microsoft. That May Help. The recommended setting is in Win7DSFilterTweaker USE MERIT. That allows using ffdshow or LAV, Because They have a higher merit as the Microsoft decoder, while at the same time allow loading of DirectVobSub.

    We recommend using Media Player Classic for video playback. That is capable of displaying subtitles without the Need for all kinds of special workarounds.

    An alternative for DirectVobSub would be the Local Subtitles for WMP plugin for WMP12. That also works with Media Foundation. We haven’t tested it so we can’t provide any support for it, nor can we say how well it works. Don't forget to disable DirectVobSub (with the Codec Tweak Tool) to prevent double subtitles in some situations.
