I had a wrong assumption that AMD’s H.264 video encoder MFT (and other Media Foundation primitives) are not based on AMF SDK. There were some references to ATI Technologies in the binary (AMDh264Enc64.dll) and most importantly I was unable to change tracing level of the MFT component on runtime. It was a guess that if…
From AMD AMF SDK documentation, AMF_Video_Encode_API.pdf: The typos are not a big deal for development, even though the symbol with the typo is a shortcut to a string with the same typo: #define AMF_VIDEO_ENCODER_NUM_TEMPORAL_ENHANCMENT_LAYERS L”NumOfTemporalEnhancmentLayers” The SDK offers a good frontend to AMD VCE hardware encoders, however there are a few unfortunate problems: documentation is…
This is basically a cross-post of StackOverflow answer: How do I encode raw 48khz/32bits PCM to FLAC using Microsoft Media Foundation? So, Microsoft introduced a FLAC Media Foundation Transform (MFT) Encoder CLSID_CMSFLACEncMFT in Windows 10, but the codec remains undocumented at the moment. Supported Media Formats in Media Foundation is similarly out of date and…
If I recall correctly, Intel was the first vendor to supply H.264 hardware video encoder as a Media Foundation Transform (since Windows 7) and overall Intel Quick Sync Video (QSV) was the earliest widely available implementation of hardware assisted encoding. However one of the aspects of such encoding seems to be missing: update of encoder…
Let us break the silence with a fresh Media Foundation bug. D3D11 WARNING: ID3D11DeviceContext::PSSetShaderResources: Resource being set to PS shader resource slot 0 is inaccessible because of a previous call to ReleaseSync or GetDC. [ STATE_SETTING WARNING #7: DEVICE_PSSETSHADERRESOURCES_HAZARD] A Direct3D 11 enabled instance of Video Processor MFT is doing something wrong with the data…
Microsoft released new Windows 10 update and again there is a new tsunami approaching. Media Foundation H.265 decoder: there is no longer “preliminary documentation” notice in MSDN article. The decoder is a substandard quality software item but it covers more or less what it has to. In particular, it indeed backs H.265 video playback including…
H.265 / HEVC Video Decoder Media Foundation has been around for a while, but using Media Foundation overall one step off straightforward basic paths is like walking a minefield. A twenty-liner below hits memory access violation inside IMFTransform::GetInputStreamInfo “Exception thrown at 0x6D1E71E7 (hevcdecoder.dll) in MfHevcDecoder01.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00000000.”: #include “stdafx.h” #include <mfapi.h>…
