Blue Iris Trial?

[looney2ns]

Thanks. I'm not sure if I need the substream or what to do with it.

Explained in Bi help file.

Also explained in the Wiki.

My motherboard has a ATI Radeon HD 4200 graphics controller. It has directx 10.1 support.
Should I enable DirectX-VA2 or Direct3D11-VA in Blue Iris camera hardware accelerated decode?
The other settings are for Intel and Nvidia so I assume they do not apply.

If you use sub streams on all cameras there is no need for HA at all. In fact HA, when using sub streams, can add to CPU utilization. Sub streams will reduce CPU utilization by a factor of five to 10 or even 20 in some cases versus HA, on a good day, being capable of 5% at best.

 

[Aronder]

You will want to use the substrates- it keeps the CPU % way down.

Look at the optimization wiki and do all of them.

Re the optimization wiki on direct to disc recording section: under file format there are four options.
The default setting is Blue Iris and FLAC audio compression.
I tried the MPEG-4 setting and tried playing the MP4 files with VLC but it didn't work very well (codec needed?).
Is the default for BI and FLAC recommended?
VLC can't play BVR files; is there a codec for it?

 

[wittaj]

Best to just keep the default settings.

BVR is a proprietary format for BI and is the best suited recording for BI. You then simply watch the playback from BI and not a different player.

Then you simply export out at MP4 or AVI for any files that you need to send to someone.

I've tested converting/exporting a BVR file to MP4 then played with VLC and it's pretty bad.
Am I missing a setting?

I forgot to add the VLC output:

-- logger module started --
main: one instance mode ENABLED
main: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface.
direct3d9 error: SetThumbNailClip failed: 0x800706f4
avcodec: Using DXVA2 (ATI Radeon HD 4200, vendor ATI(1002), device 9710, revision 0) for hardware decoding

direct3d9 error: SetThumbNailClip failed: 0x800706f4

Just to make sure I brought over mp4 videos from other systems that all play correctly on the system with BI.
This is a big problem. I have to be able to get videos out of BI.
I'm stuck at this moment.

 

[wittaj]

Go back to the default settings.

We all get MP4 exports out fine or we wouldn't be using the program.

I had to turn off VLC hardware decoding.
The previous comment abut potential problems with hardware decoding was right.

 

[Flintstone61]

My exports play fine on the Windows media player, or Itunes, or Windows default movie player. VLC i have barely scratched the surface with, but it seems to show weirdly cropped off vidoes on some files.
I send my .mp4 exports to the Sheriff so far no complaints.

I like the German color coding on the wires. Ja,,,, Green und Red for everything! ausgezeichnet, großartig!

I thought there was a way with the IPC-T5442TM-AS to config the camera to trigger only in a user defined region of the camera view.
Checked camera settings but not sure where that feature is if it exists.
Is this possible?

 

[wittaj]

Yes lots of ways, within the camera.

Smart Motion Detection
Motion Detection
Smart Plan with IVS

And then motion detection within BI.

 

[sebastiantombs]

Wrong thread. There is a thread specifically for the 5442. But are you trying to set triggers in the camera directly or in Blue Iris?

 

[wittaj]

Well he did start this thread LOL.

 

[sebastiantombs]

about the trial version of Blue Iris.

 

[Aronder]

Didn't know about the 5442 thread. I'll go there. Thanks.

 

[sebastiantombs]

I'm not picking on you, just pointing to a thread with a long discussion of setting up motion detection on a 5442 that will save you time and rehashing it all here.
