At present, the hardware facilities for watching HD movies are relatively complete, but there are still a lot of players in software settings. Now we will discuss hard decompression and subtitles for HD movies.

Powerdvd is an easy-to-use software for HD playback. It can be decompressed as long as the video card driver is installed (the premise is your card support, of course). The biggest disadvantage is that you cannot plug in subtitles, not practical. What we really need is to enable the player for hard decompression and subtitles, so we will discuss kmplayer.

Kmplayer is a media player tool from South Korea. It is transplanted to Linux and has simple and powerful interfaces. In addition to common media formats, it can also play popular HD files. The software features powerful scalability. By calling different audio, video decoder, and splitters, you can improve the playback efficiency and quality. You can also control the color of the video, adjusts brightness saturation and other advanced functions.

Required software:

1. Unzip decoding 1.7.0908: Enable the hard-extract function of the video card.

2. powerdvd 7.3: Provides H.264 video decoding and Splitters

3. kmplayer 2.9.3.1372: primary player

4. Windows Media Player 11: Provides VC-1 video decoding

5. wmv powertoy: activates the VC-1 hard decompression Function

6. Haali media splitter 1.7.189.11: VC-1 Splitter

◆ H.264 hard Solution

Install software 1, 2, and 3, go to the decoder center to set up, and click the check box before "Advanced Settings" to expand the menu, as shown in.

Make sure that the check box before ha is checked. This is the key to enabling hard decompression!

After setting the decoder decoding, we will set kmplayer, open kmplayer, press f2 to go to the parameter setting page, and click "Filter Control"-> "decoder usage ", select "always use (strongly recommended)" on the right side )"

Click the "internal video decoder" tab, and click "cancel all" on the right to make all decoding not selected so that other decoder can be called.

Click "external video decoder" on the left and "Search for external decoder" on the right ".

Click "Add after scan". The decoder and powerdvd decoder installed when the decoder is installed are listed above.

Click OK to return. the drop-down menu next to 264 video shows several more options. Select cyberlink H. 264/AVC Decoder (pdvd7) to call the H. 264 decoder.

In the same way, choose cyberlink Demux (pdvd7) from the MPEG-2 ts drop-down menu ).

After you click Close, the settings will be automatically saved. You can also use "Export Settings" to save the current settings. When you reinstall the system, you can click the exported registry file to restore the settings.

Drag an H. 264-encoded HDTV enters the player. Press the tab button during playback. If the output is dxva in the upper-left corner of the screen, it indicates that hard Decompression has been enabled and the task manager is called up, we can see that the CPU usage remains low.

◆ Hard solution of VC-1

Open the VC-1 hard decompression is relatively complicated. After installing software 1, 2, and 3, install software 4, 5, and 6. It is worth noting that Windows Media Player 11 requires genuine verification to be installed on the XP system. Non-genuine users need to find the installation method online, which is inconvenient to describe here. After wmp11 is installed, the WMV powertoy tool must be used to activate the hard solution of the VC-1.

 

Enable off by default. We need to change the following three off to On, on, and strong debloking + deringing.

After setting, we need to go back to the parameter settings of kmplayer and press f2 to enter.

Select "external video decoder" on the left and re-search "external Decoder/separator". You can see that there is an additional wmvideo decoder DMO, which will only appear after wmp11 is installed, if not, click "add system decoder" at the bottom of the pop-up page. If wmp11 is installed, you can find it. Select wmvideo decoder DMO from the VC-1 video on the right.

 

Because the default settings in the Haali installation is automatically take over the separation of TS files, then we do not need to change the VC-1 separator settings, even if it does not work, haali is very aggressive during installation. All right, everything is ready, throw a VC-1 file to kmplayer, and then press the tab button to see if the hard Decompression has been enabled.

 

If the result is successful, dxva is displayed after the output, and the CPU usage remains low.

◆ Subtitle mounting

Subtitle mounting in kmplayer is relatively simple. It is not much different from other playing software. You only need to name the subtitle file and the playing file with the same prefix and put it in the same directory folder. If you cannot enable the subtitle function, make sure that the parameter subtitle function is enabled.

◆ Experience Summary

Please try to use NVIDIA graphics card, ATI graphics card in kmplayer can not hard solution VC-1
· Successful opening of VC-1 hard solution found H.264 hard solution, please try to uninstall Haali Separator
· After drag-and-drop, you will find that the voice is not synchronized, and you may have not enabled hard decompression.
· Some subtitles cannot be displayed normally. You can use the plug-in vobsub to solve this problem.

Everything is ready, and we can finally sit down and enjoy the amazing effect of HD resolution. Let's enjoy the visual feast of the New Age together.
