Ok, easy answers first. Replies which require some checks will come a bit later.

A log alone won't help much for a crash. Was the crash in MPC-HC or in madVR? If it was in madVR you should (ideally) have seen the madVR exception box with an option to send a bug report to me. If you just saw the standard windows crash box then the crash was probably in MPC-HC and not in madVR. Without a madVR crash report there's not much I can do about crashes.

I'm on Win 7 x64, Radeon HD 5850, Catalyst 12.2 and deinterlacing just won't work, even if I force it via ctrl+alt+shift+d, I still see all those combs. It worked fine when I used it a few weeks ago (or use a different filter like LAV Video to do the deinterlacing), so maybe it is something with the new drivers?

When I turn on deinterlacing in madVR (and turn off software deinterlacing in LAV Video Decoder) and try to play back my 1080i60 content I get audio but no video (video is black/blank in mpc-hc). Had the same issue with version .80. I've got a Radeon 6570 w/Catalyst 12.1.

A few things to check:

(1) Press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+D to make sure deinterlacing is turned on.
(2) Press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+T to check whether madVR is in film or video mode.
(3) Double check whether deinterlacing works with other renderers (VMR9, EVR).

That's technically not possible to achieve at the moment. When a message appears on screen, madVR is forced to rerender the frame. In order to do that, the subtitles must be rerendered, too. And the internal MPC-HC subtitle render engine doesn't like to go backwards in time. The going backwards happens because madVR has already asked the subtitle renderer to render future frames in order to fill the render queue. So in order to rerender the "current" frame, the subtitle renderer would have to "rewind". And whenever I ask it to do that, it needs a couple of frames until it outputs subtitles again. As a result, subtitles disappear. There's not much I can do about it atm. There may be a way in the future to solve this, by using a better subtitle renderer, but that doesn't exist yet.

Good to hear!

That's kinda as expected. Currently madVR is not able to autodetect whether a DVD is "film" or "video" type. So it defaults to DXVA deinterlacing because that can handle everything. If you know for a fact that IVTC will work on any given DVD, just turn it on manually and you may get better quality (at least better smoothness). But if you turn IVTC on for material that can't be IVTCed, you'll get combing.

I'm aware of that there are sometimes odd effects with the D3D11 presentation option. I plan to work on that in a future version. But it won't be easy to fix, because it only rarely happens on my PC.

will use original frame rate (23.976 fps "says source filter" with dropped frames) instead of frame rate (25.000 fps).

Adding .25p at the end before .mkv will play file with 25.000 fps (without dropped frames)

It is not madVR's job to look at the container information. That's the splitter's job. The "says source filter" is the information that the splitter or decoder provided madVR with. So if that information is incorrect, you need to complain to the splitter/decoder developer.

Does every GPU/monitor support that? I don't even know how to activate that?

So I don't know what is going on ...

I don't know, either. You could try checking if you can change something in your BIOS. In any case, if reinstalling the LAN driver makes the problem go away then most probably madVR is not at fault.

I must say that Windowed <-> exclusive mode and rapid switching between exclusive modes of different screens is now completely smooth and fixed from my viewpoint.

Good to hear. I hope it will stay this way once the refresh rate changer bugs are fixed.

Possible, yes, but I'm not sure how many users would actually use that. I'm a bit reluctant to add keyboard shortcuts for any funny feature. The alphabet has only so many characters.

Yes, that's why it was created.

It's on my to do list, together with so many other things.

In theory madVR's IVTC should be better than the DScaler5 IVTC Mod in every way. Whether that's true in real life is another question and still needs to be proven over time.

Did you force madVR into film mode? Only in film mode madVR is supposed to switch to 24p, when playing back a 1080i60 file.

A time code overlayed on top of the seek bar (I know it's custom drawn and much harder than what most ppl think) would be appreciated as well.

Yeah, that would be nice, but just changing the seek bar height alone isn't enough, I'd also have to redraw the seekbar thumb image. And adding a time code overlay would also cost extra work. This will surely all come sooner or later, it's just a question of priorities. Everything which can't be done in a couple of minutes has to wait until it's the most important thing in my to do list.

Glad you like it. Not sure why it has less ringing than EVR's algorithm, though. Ok, my algorithm should be mathematically "perfect". Maybe EVR's algorithm isn't? I don't really know...

Does anybody know how to do this programatically? I don't right now from the top of my head. "IMediaSeeking" allows me to seek to a specific time with the hint to the decoder to seek to the nearest key frame. But I've no idea how to find out which time code the next key frame might have.

That combination may explain a certain delay in switching. But it doesn't explain why you didn't have the same problem in v0.80, so I'm a bit confused.

Can you reproduce that? Does it happen with all videos or just with some specific ones? In the latter case can you upload a small sample? If it happens if all videos, something is weird. Maybe a small madVR debug log would help, not sure.

Maybe at some time in the future, but not anytime soon. Creating fast CPU resizers would probably require carefully written SSE2 code which is a quite time consuming thing to do.

No problem. There was a reason I never analyzed that problem. It didn't seem likely to me that madVR would be at fault.
