With overlay you're entirely at the mercy of the GPU, which is usually a horrible idea, even EVR does a better job then that. Also, Overlay has some other issues, window movement is sluggish and it forces Aero off. Its the most efficient renderer in regards to performance (if you dont want DXVA), but its also the most simple with basically zero features and zero control about what happens. That it turns Aero off is already annoying enough for me.
From a technical standpoint, its also brain-dead stupid and doesn't implement DirectShow properly, so right now its broken again with LAV and probably needs some custom hacks to work again.

Aero forces Vsync and for that I think it sucks; unfortunately, if you disable Aero, there are visual glitches everywhere (+ poor performance), so disable it forever is not feasible. Fortunately Direct3D madVR allows to turn Aero Vsync off for video playback.
But I've heard your others points; thanks for the info. |

nevcairiel, I encountered an ogg file which cause trouble using the latest LAVFilters 0.54.1.
I have sent you splitted file with pm. Please take a look at it. The ogg splitter with mpc-hc handles it very well though. |

Tested with the 4k videos from youtube. And MPC-HC info screen says "Not using DXVA". Yes the new "UHD (4K)" option is checked in lav filter. My graphics card is 1 Nvidia GeForce GTX 470. List of graphics cards supported? Perhaps add to faq on front page? Update: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nvidia_PureVideo#Table_of_PureVideo_.28HD.29_GPUs So looks like my card does NOT do 4k. Darn! If your card does not support 4k then the option in lav filter should be grayed out as to not make the user think their card supports 4k when it really does not. |

madVRs overlay mode has nothing to do with the "Overlay Mixer", completely different things.

Resolution support may also depend on which codec is used, so there is more combinations possible then the UI can show.

Hallo nev, is it possible that LAV Audio sometimes overflows when using mixing with clipping protection (very loud btw) and integer output formats (needed for some of my tools)? Normalization is fine but much quieter of course. BTW is dithering used when converting floats to integers? And do you use the mean or rms for normalization?

It's similar in the sense that the presentation isn't copied back to main memory(hence no screenshots) which would mean less potential for glitching/stuttering. And aero can continue to be on. I guess less stutter is the reason to use Overlay so madVR may help there. Not too sure.

Hello, a little advice needed please.
I can not get LAV splitter to work with dvd's. The problem started after some software upgrades (was perfect before). LAV video is working with dvd, including Hardware acceleration, and LAV splitter is being used for just about everything except dvd's. I have reinstalled drivers and LAV back to the last known working combination without success. I have tried the latest release of mpc-be and mpc-hc with 54.1 LAV filters. I also tried manually cleaning out the registry before reinstalling, but I keep coming back to the same point (everything fine except dvd's). I am running Windows8dp and wish to avoid reinstalling (I had a disc image which conveniently disappeared) If anyone could give me some registry values to check I would be grateful. PS- I had individual vob's playing using LAVsplitter but could not get the disc as a whole to play fine. |

I'm getting regular player crashes (DVBViewer + Media Center 18 w.custom video mode) with 0.54.1 after a couple of minutes. Not sure if it's LAV, reverted to 0.53.2 and it works fine for now. Win 8 x64, AMD 5670.
