Weird. I've only one DVD (THX demo DVD) to test with, though, and I don't even know if it's protected. Anyway, this one DVD showed "Macrovision fail" with madVR 0.4 in MPC HC for me and it plays fine now with madVR 0.5. I guess I have to find a "real" movie DVD to test with. Which exact error message do you get?

Argh.

Playing a file with a smaller resolution than my video screen does get scaled to the screen size when playback starts, however.
That sounds strange. It seems to work fine with MPC HC here. Will have to test this with ZoomPlayer.

No, do you have a small sample?

Try checking/unchecking "use 3dlut". Does that make a difference? madVR 0.4 used the 3dlut files by default. madVR 0.5 uses shader math by default. But actually I thought that should speed up things, not slow them down...

Good to hear, thanks.

You're too fast...

No, that was just time wasted on initializing dozens of pixel shaders which were not needed. And 3dlut file loading.
