Can MCTD & QTGMC be run on a 16 Core CPU in non-MultiThreaded?

[MrBiggles]

Is so what speed would I get? I normally run McTemporalDenoise on Medium and QTGMC on Slower and get around 6fps on an 8 core 4.2Ghz CPU.

Also was wondering if Avisynth can be run in VirtualBox. When encoding HD videos I use DGDecodeNV which uses the GPU so I assume that's not possible in VirtualBox?

[Detmek]

You can run it but in Non-MT mod it will use a single core for its work. So, it doesn't matter if you run it on 4 core, 8 core or 16 core CPU. Speed will depend on single core power, ie. if 4 core CPU has stronger, faster core then 8 or 16 core CPU you will get better performance on 4 core CPU.

U might wanna try Mp_Pipeline to keep the script running steady and stable with some heavy temporal filter , but make sure to read MP_Pipeline Documentary to understand it more as u want to use it with your choice of filter, Mp_Pipeline keep the script steady and stable and promise to stop the crash and MT mode is beast for speed but no promise's that it won't crash with mt mode, so go and check Mp_Pipeline.
U may need both version of avisynth 32bit | 64bit just coz mp_pipeline have some 64bit function which create a slave for each filter and use good amount of ram so mp_pipeline requires 64 bit avisynth installed with 32bit version already in machine(p.c)

as a  example.

MP_Pipeline("""
FFVideoSource("SomeVideo")
QTGMC()
### prefetch: 16, 0
### ###
""")
MCTD()

# MCTD and QTGMC will be run parallelly in 2 separate processes

[MrBiggles]

Tried just this line below and AvsPmod says unable to load the MP Pipeline DLL. I've got 32-bit and 64-bit Avisynth installed. I ran the install CMD file and copied the Avisynth 64-bit DLL files into the 64-bit Plugins folder. I also copied the MP_Pipeline.dll into the 64-bit plugins folder :

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files (x86)\AviSynth 2.5\plugins64\MP_Pipeline.dll")

[BÌG•bµdd]

Did u un-installed the that avisynth which was already in machine (maybe you need to do this for clean re-installation before installing) before installing both 32bit | 64bit avisynth?make sure u keep mp_pipeline x86 files in plugins & x64 files into plugin64 from extracted folder

I m using windows 7 x64 and using these avisynth with mp_pipeline:

Avisynth 2.6.0
Grab a 64-bit Avisynth from here
Mp_pipeline v0.18

it works fine here ,maybe u didn't open a readme.txt file in avisynth64bit before u install (sometime u need to copy avisynth.dll and devil.dll and paste that to windows/system32 it's written in txt file in avisynth 64 folder).

[MrBiggles]

I read all the readme files and it still doesn't work. Is there a fullproof step by step guide somewhere?

Should I be using Avisynth MT or non-MT in my script?

There's also a DirectShowSource.dll and MT.dll in the Avisynth 64-bit installation folder. Should I be copying those somewhere as it doesn't mention them in the instructions.

I run the Avisynth 64-bit installer batch file. It says "Avisynth64 installed. To auto load put 64 bit dll's in C:\Program Files <x86>\AviSynth 2.5\plugins64"

What dll's should I be putting in that folder?

Sorry mate i was bit busy , yea that could be your choice we just need to install both version of Avisynth 32bit | 64bit . Oh yea after installing avisynth64 installer u will get a plugin64 folder in avisynth installation directory which may contains two file in plugin64 MT.dll Directshow.dll but after putting required file into plugin64 from mp_pipeline v0.18 or higher ,plugin64 should be looking something like this as in image below with mp_pipeline files (except dither , nnedi3 ,masktools2)

then try to test it and see if it's working (leave a reply what's happening).good luck

[MrBiggles]

Didn't work mate. I installed it properly like you said.

First time i try mp pipeline (x86 version to keep it simple), i get a "can't find any splitter"
Any idea guys ?

[killerteengohan]

I've ran those 2 plenty of times together at the same time and I never used mutithreading that I am aware of because I could never get multithreading to work for me. I just run multiple separate workers or instances at the same time to use up the rest of my CPU cores when encoding multiple things.

They work together just fine, but it's usually very slow in speed, especially together at the same time. I usually get 3-6fps for 480p-720p material. 1080p would be much longer. The speeds will depend on what other filters your using and your CPU capabilities per core.

I think u should try like this,let me know if it help u run the script.

Mp_pipeline("""

i get "there is no mp_pipeline function" if i put the Mp_pipeline(""" before loadplugin

I think you are missing something or not doing it correctly, be sure you are on windows 64bit and then make sure u install first Avisynth and Avisynth64.
here is SAPikachu/MP_Pipeline with both version of avisynth: https://www.sendspace.com/file/9epzd0

mp_pipeline 0.18.zip now from mp_pipeline copy the
"all files from x64 ->C:\Program Files (x86)\AviSynth\plugins64"
"all files from x86 ->C:\Program Files (x86)\AviSynth\plugins"

btw after few minutes i found the solution , hope it will work for you.

LoadPlugin("C:\Users\pro\Downloads\Mp_pipeline\MP_Pipeline-0.18\x86\MP_Pipeline.dll")
# It should be placed outside the mp_pipeline code before ordering mp_pipeline

MP_Pipeline("""

OR

now it's working, it seems the prefetch part is very important

[Auliya90]

now it's working, it seems the prefetch part is very important

it depend on your script , prefetch setting are based on experience , btw as a starting point I will use 16, 0 or 8, 0 for the last script block, and doubled value for each upstream block . To get more fimiliar with it read the "MP_Pipeline_readme" i hope you will find useful info about mp_pipeline

[themaster1]

i did further testing, it's slower than MT only (1 fps vs 1.5 fps) and as i could pinpoint what was wrong with my script with avsmeter i think i'll stick to MT

yes choice is yours but with MT i heard process crashed but mp_pipeline work stable and steady for heavy filter no chance of crashing encoding process ,btw can you please post your script so i can try it. thanks

here it is, should be more complex with qtgmc (lossless mode etc.. ) but it's so slow as is so..
