Ok, I tried with a HD 4650, Win 7, Catalyst 9.3, MPC-HC, Reclock (my display doesn't support 24Hz, so I need it to stretch 23,976/24fps to 25Hz), a 1280x720 projector and a 2.5 mt wide screen.

HD-mkv mostly H.264 720p, some 1080p
No problem of any type. No crashes, no tearing at all (Reclock tearing test is perfect), no glitches.
Quality is very high with respect to EVR(CP), expecially colours. Particularly in "Speed Racer" the difference in colours between the two renderers is impressive. With madVR there is a sort of "higher colour resolution".
Smoothness can be improved. Like other renderers it depends on where you start the playing.

WMV-HD
720p Ok. 1080p gives a distorted and greenish image.

DVD
Impossible to play .ifo files from disk o DVD from drive. It gives DVD: Macromedia Fail. I can't understand what Macromedia has to do with the renderer, but wait some guru to explain me. No problems with single .vob or .mpg files. Quality is approx. on the same level as EVR plus YV12 -> RGB conversion by ffdshow.

Tried also avi, divx, xvid and everything I have with no problems.
