MadVR is all over the place with estimation on this, from 1 frame drop every couple of hours to a couple of days.

i dont really know.

found it in a tutorial some time ago. Searched for months because I never got drop free 23,976 playback on nvidia. Since then, it worked like a charm on all tested nv cards. UHD resolution too.

with amd, there is no such issue. running good out of the box. This and the nv 3D setup mess (3D is not working if a custom resolution is set) is the reason I'm using a rx480 on my htpc now. my gtx 1060 is now in my gaming machine.

just lower the last vertical pixel counter 1. In this case it would be 1124. Save it and try running a 23,976 movie. It leads to 1 frame drop every 3-4 hours on my machine with my old 970, 960 and new 1060.

Even without the -1, I've been getting 23.9763 on 960 and now 1070.

Revert back to Crimson 16.8.3...

dxd9 new path is broken with this driver.

try the old path or d3d11 as a work around for now.

AMD released broken driver a lot in the past there are major OpenGL problems too.

so just hope that they will get there **** together soon.

Latest one is 16.9.2.
Dunno if it fixes anything.

I waste some time with cru before reading the guide, in fact I read a lot about customs resolutions before... so when I read the guide the things became very clear to me... it was very easy but I see lots of people
Complaining... I not a native English speaker but I can try to explain better the guide...
I think worth waste sometime on this because really improves the smoothnes, I m very sensible to frame glitches drops and repeats só for me its very important the right timings
It's Good read the cru forum tô know the right configuration

just tried it. still broken.

it is known in the bug tracker for some time now: http://bugs.madshi.net/view.php?id=431

This doesn't work with my Panasonic VT30 plasma TV and GTX 1080 card for some reason. When the profile is saved, it says 24 Hz and not 23.976 Hz.

Had a chance to play through with an 1080 card. Everything maxed out per my own usage (not using NNEDI 256 anywhere because I don't feel like it's actually needed though). I must say that besides some noise, an 1080 is enough to fully take advantage of madVR features at FHD up to 60fps, smooth play, and amazing image quality.

@madshi Thank you very much for this great software!

(Planning to test 4K on 4K display soon, downscaled 4K videos work well.)

The profile will say 24Hz. It's what madVR says for display and repeating/dropped frames that's key.
MadVR will change to this with 1080p23.

Fingers crossed another post processing filter, denoising or deblocking would be nice.

Deblocking would be great, yeah. I've noticed that chroma especially tends to be a mess of blocks for things like YouTube videos (though admittedly chroma artifacts are much less noticeable), which probably trips up the scaling algorithms quite a lot.

It's surprising how blocky some frames of video can be even at 720 or 1080 resolution.
It's the lower quality videos that require the most help from madVR. Still a lot of lower quality content being watched out there and onboard GPU's are really starting to stretch their legs now.

[CarlosCaco]

I have some internet rips that are taged as variable framerate... what the purpose of this? How media player and madvr handle this? Why the ripper want to make a rip with a variable framerate...
Should I expect to see judder, glitches, frame drops on this type of file?

I'd guess that depends on what your refresh rate is. If you have Smooth Motion enabled it shouldn't be an issue.

No... its on my 23.976 mode but the files have a minibus and a maximum framerate...
Why someone doe that?

[huhn]

because the source is VFR. that's the only correct treatment you can do to some sources.

there is a lot of content that has 23p scene and 29p scene put in 59i or 59p. the only solution is a VFR encode.

smoothmotion can handle VFR BTW.

Can someone simply fix this? Thanks

I've tried reordering it too (assuming it looks for 60 fps first)

if (srcWidth <= 800) "SD"
if (fps = 60.000) "Live Stream"
if (srcWidth >= 801) "HD"

Somehow it needs to not activate HD before looking at the fps

if (srcWidth <= 800) "SD"
else if (srcWidth >= 801) and (fps = 60.000) "Live Stream"
else "HD"

This doesn't work either. Is something bugged?

srcfps option never worked for me, try using deintFPS >=50 instead as 1st rule, this will obviously screw settings for files that do require deinterlacing and are not live sports but most of my files that require it are, so no issue for me. you can always try switching profiles manually tho

[Warner306]

deintFps works for me as a profile rule. The source doesn't need to be deinterlaced.

I would suggest:

if (srcWidth <= 800) "SD"
else if (deintFPS > 59) "Live Stream"
else "HD"

The "else if" will only be evaluated if the first statement is false so you don't need to check the resolution again. Never use an = sign for fps, the real value has higher precision than 60.000 and is usually something like 59.94005994005994, your 60.000 was probably something like 60.000001 fps.

Is there a way to tell madvr to use double expanded range for a specific file every time? I've heard you can add something into the filename, but what about a header in the mkv or a tag?
