Movie plays Upside Down when using Haali Video Renderer

Okay … so today i just received a new movie and because i’m really interested on watching this movie again (previously i watched this movie in cinema last year), i played it as soon as possible when the last part was completed :P … and at first when i played it, i did not see any problem with it … everything can be played normally like below image as an illustration

Full Video Non SUB With Haali Renderer

And as you already knew that i’m not a native english speaker, and so watching english movie without subtitle can be confusing especially at some part so i decided to search for it’s english subtitle and found one … but … a new problem arise, as illustrated below :

Full Video With SUB With Haali Renderer Problem

As you can see the video plays upside down !!! and because previously i can play the movie without problem, i decided to disable displaying subtitle first … and guess what ? the movie plays normally

Because it’s seems strange to me, i decided to play around with various settings in Zoom Player (that’s the media player i used) such as playing around with aspect ratio (i’m always using Disabled / Fit to Window aspect ratio), VMR (Video Mixing Renderer) 9 settings, try to flip it, etc … but the same problem still occur. Fortunately i remember that i’m not using VMR9 as my video renderer but i’m using Haali Video Renderer instead, and so i decided to switch the video renderer back to VMR9 Renderless and the problem seems to disappear

But because i prefer to use Haali Video Renderer rather than VMR9 Renderless i decided to mess around with various settings again … and after a while i found what the actual problem is (after getting various error message from various filters) … which is came from DirectVobSub / VSFilter … and to make thing shorter here’s what you should do just in case you experience the same problem like me :

DirectVobSub Config

As you can see from the above image, you just need to change the Vertical Padding in DirectVOBSub configuration into Original Height (the default setting is Extend to 16:9, although if it is for me i already changed it before to Extend 4:3)

And here’s the final result :

Haali Video Renderer

That’s it ;) … btw if you ask me why i choose Haali Video Renderer rather than VMR9 as the video renderer, see below (compare it to above image) :

Video Mixing Renderer 9 Renderless

The Fast and Furios 3 VMR9

See the differences by yourself :) … as a side note, you might be interested on reading my previous post about important video tools

as for tearing and dropped frames, i dont really have any problem with it ever since i use Haali renderer (because im having a little bit problem when running HD Movies using VMR9 renderless)

Hi,

How does Haali Video Renderer work? I’ve found it works really well but I don’t understand how… there’s no manual!

What should its settings for buffers and frames be set to?

How does it manage to do away with the need for something like Reclock? From what I understand in Windows XP the audio is played as is and the video is synced to the audio. But as the fps of most video files does not divide into the refresh rate, you get tearing and dropped frames… how does Haali deal with this?

You sound like the kinda guy who might know… it’s all very confusing!

Thanks,

MM
