Can't Seem To Get DXVA Working

I can't get DXVA working w/ any sort of deinterlacing. This is with both the InterVideo and Sonic decoders. I am using the latest ATI Catalyst drivers and the 21288 hauppauge drivers (I also tried the 21337 release). I get the following error message:

"There was an error with the MPEG-2 video setup. Failed connecting MPEG2 video stream using DirectX Video Accerlation media type. ErrCode=0x8004022a."

I would really like to get this working. I searched this forum and saw that at least one other person had this exact same problem but I did not see any solution. If more detailed system specs are needed, let me know.

Everything else on that screen set to Default? Did you try both Overlay and VMR? What video card do you have exactly? Latest DirectX installed?

For DXVA interlacing in Sage with the Sonic Decoders, all should be set to Default and DXVA should be enabled in the Sonic decoders themselves. I have TT so it enabled DXVA for me by default so I don't know exactly how to enable it if you are using just the decoders. Look for something that says enable hardware acceleration.

Everything else is set to default (except the deinterlacing setting which causes it to return that error). I am using a 9700pro. I've tried both VMR and Overlay.

I also have TT so I think I'd have DXVA enabled in Sonic as well (it is enabled in TT). Thanks for taking the time to help, btw. Let me know you need any more info.

Just to clarify: I should be able to use deinterlacing settings other than "default" when I have DXVA enabled in the registry, right?

It took me quite a while to get this info from Sage , i could look up the exact email but the general statement was "We dont know what the mpeg modes do, we really dont...we know they work with some cards...thats why we put them in the program"

so....no you will not get them to work, in fact on ATI cards I have rarely got anything other than default to work on most codecs and I have tried ALL of them.

one of them did allow all the different settings but none of them really did anything I could tell.

Enable the hardware deinterlacing on your ATI card and make sure you are using DXVA and you will be fine. This is enabled by default.
check the registry settings and use Rage3d to check the interlace settings are on.

I think actually the deinterlacing options is ONLY if you are not hardware interlacing, that may be what causes the error, but I have not been able to confirm this.

My findings are similar to Mikes. Everything to default is what you want. This way the decoder will do what it is set to do. The deinterlace settings on that page are for software deinterlacing.

well that answers one of my questions that i had given up hope on!!!!

figured it was a system error since the only fricking codec i couldn't get to work was sonic and i'd had to roll back from sp4 to sp3 to try it out.

guess i'll be setting everything to default and trying those out again tonight

the one codec i'm actually quite anxious to try is the next release of nvdvd as it has post processing built right into it so it could provide a nice alternative (and less resource hog) than the elecard / dscaler / ffdshow combo.
