I played around with VC1 for quite some time (trying various decoders), but I gave up on it and simply used an external player (MPC-HC) for m2ts. This has the added benefit that subtitles are also available.
The best option within Sage was using Arcsoft's decoder. Some people claim to have success using DXVA, but that didn't work in my case (I was using an older version that came with the hdpvr) as it was still stuttering, though only slightly. Non DXVA playback using an Arcsoft decoder was fine though on an I5 based system. |

I am always blown away at how much trouble people have with playback and SageTV...
I use makeMKV to do straight rips of my BluRays or DVDs. I install haali splitter and FFDShow (Enable hardware support for both VC-1 and h264) and that is all for a PC client. I even have a turtle of a client in one room: A64-3500+ with 2 GB RAM, NVidia 8600GT, Kingston 30GB SSD, Win7 64bit and SageTV 7.1.9. This client will play ANYTHING I toss at it. Even a rip from a BD that is over 30GB for just the movie will play totally shudder free. I literally do nothing else at all to get things to play clean on my systems.

The codec I have used successfully are: TMT2.x, TMT5.x, Windows DMO. TMT2.x and TMT 5.x can be pulled from the respective trials or HD-PVR disc and Windows DMO for XP can be downloaded from Microsoft/web. Of course on Win7 the new Windows DMO is built-in. The only issues I have had are with enabling hardware acceleration for VC-1 on older hardware... with that said, even without hardware acceleration I have smooth playback on all with CPU minimum of dual core AthlonXP / dual core E6300 (cpu usage around 50%) ... |

converting to mkv is a reasonable solution, but thats not what people are having "trouble" with playback.

I rip Blu-ray to .m2ts directly using clownbd:
http://www.clownbd.com/ As I said above playback is perfect on a wide variety of platforms. |

BTW, my shock is even bigger when listening to podcasts that cover everything other than SageTV. Things "from the internets" can be a challenge sometimes but when you are dealing with Sage recordings or with the ripping of your own content, there are just so few excuses left for having a hard time. It might come across a bit witchy but that is how it sounds in my head when I hear of these issues.

If "you" took the time to read this thread, the very FIRST post clearly states that converting to mkv is a workaround. If "you" don't know how to playback the VC1 disc, without converting, have "you" added anything to the discussion? I'm happy that converting to mkv works, but the topic isn't "...stutter free VC1 mkv playback" |

It also does not say MKV not allowed as a solution. Why make things complicated is the issue here that is at hand. You seem to be totally obsessed with m2ts. If you are blocking out all other options, then that is where you will stay. A fix is a fix is a fix. In my experience, if it is less work, it is not a workaround but a FIX. Beyond this, I digress as it just seems that all over the internet, people want to make this issue harder than they need to...

OK, I've been ripping blu-ray to .mkv (even did HD DVD to .mkv)...but I have NEVER successfully played back a blu-ray through a windows client using sage. They play back fine in the Windows 7 built in media player and they play back fine using VFC. But stutter like hell or don't start at all in SageTV. Believe me I've tried, but I always fail.
It sounds like we have multiple folks in this thread who have successful paths. Are folks willing to document all the steps required to get seamless SageTV playback of .mkv containers of blu-ray? I would really, really appreciate as this has been on my must do list for years ![]() |

1. Download and install the latest LAV splitter.
2. Download this registry file and double-click it (then, click okay to confirm updating registry). All it does is change the below registry setting from 1 to 0. You can always change it back. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Frey Technologies\Common\DirectShow] "EnableSageTVStreamDemux"=dword:00000000 3. Completely restart sageTV. This should allow you to play bluray VC1 MKV files. Quote:

Like sflamm, I just use Arcsoft's codec and VC1 plays fine. WMVideo DMO plays fine too, but my C2D is at 80%. I messed with this *a lot* in the beginning...I own TMT2, 3, and 5, as well as TME from the HD-PVR disk. I can't remember which Arcsoft one I ended up with (I think I put TMT 5's in the TME folder, using the checkactivate.dll hack) but it works. I would say Install TME and use that one...Sage seems to want to pick that one if I can remember a support email during experimentation. I like the 'one interface to rule them all approach, too' ...but having TMT auto launch on disk insert is a lot easier!... I still don't do that though

Changing that key doesn't break live tv. There is another that will disable all sage splitters, but I can't remember what it is. That key is for the .mov, .mkv, and some others. The .ts, .m2ts, .mpg, etc. splitter is still enabled.

But this thread here is about m2ts and if you try to disable the sage splitter in that case (which cannot de done with the method described here) you'll likely break live tv. |
