RGB 444 to YCC 444 convertion is more accurate.

Of course you can do several calibrations, one for each ambient light level, but that probably only makes sense for front projection or similar things where the ambient light level will dramatically modify the measured results. With a flat panel display I would not expect calibration to produce much different results with different ambient light levels.

What you could do is use madVR's brightness and contrast controls to adjust the image when the ambient light level changes. madVR's brightness control actually modifies the gamma value and madVR's contrast control modifies the form of the gamma curve. So if you find the image too washed out when there's no ambient light, or if you find shadow detail to be eaten away by high ambient light levels, just use the brightness/contrast controls to do small adjustments...

edit: found this thread http://www.avsforum.com/t/1484257/ma...cube-lut-files
Correct, this feature allows you to use eeColor 3dlut files created by LightSpace CMS, Calman, ArgyllCMS and maybe ChromaPure (not sure if ChromaPure can create eeColor 3dlut files), without needing the eeColor hardware box.

A log doesn't really help much if a freeze occurs. What would help is a freeze report which you can usually create by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Pause/Break. After you press those keys, a freeze report file should be created on your desktop. However, for the freeze report to be useful, PotPlayer would have to contain (or be distributed with external) debug information. Not sure if that is the case.

When playing the greyscale screens as .mp4 files from the AVSHD set there are no issues. There seems to be some compatibility issues as well, often the test patterns just freeze at 0/n. The ArgyllCMS patches in the madVR pattern generator also exhibit similar artifacting.
Posterization/banding is an artifact where you see clear bands in the image. This can usually only happen if there's a gradiant of some sort. The measurement test patterns shown by madVR/madTPG are supposed to be a solid color without any gradiants. So I'm not sure how such a test pattern could have banding artifacts? Maybe you can make a photo with a digicam?

madVR does use dithering, but that's just a low level noise floor covering the image. That's very different from banding/posterization.

Which command lines did you use? In any case, this topic is better suited for the AVSForum ArgyllCMS + madVR forum thread. Discussing detailed calibration stuff in this thread is sort of out of topic. In the AVSForum thread also the ArgyllCMS developer is helping, so I'd suggest that you move over there.

A normal .icm profile supported by the OS only corrects the red, green and blue channels separately. This works to correct some things. But it's not a complete calibration. A 3dlut can pretty much correct every single color value, resulting in a much more complete calibration. Please note that the suggestions from the first post in the madVR + ArgyllCMS AVSForum thread are *NOT* recommended to be used. Look into the thread to find the command lines I personally recommend.

Yes, it's a bug - but not in madVR. If those mkv movies are encoded with the "full range" flag but look incorrect when actually honoring this flag, then the movies are encoded incorrectly. MPC-HC without madVR is not clever enough to actually honor the flag. Only madVR can do that. That's a feature, not a bug. But if you want madVR to behave as stupidly as MPC-HC's internal renderers do, then that's easy enough to change: Just press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+I to modify the source levels to TV, then press F2 to store your changes. After that madVR will always ignore the "full range" flag.

MPC-HC could in theory display its own OSD, but it would cost the MPC-HC developers a bit extra development time to do that. Because of that they haven't implemented that (yet?). So for now you're stuck with the madVR OSD. I might improve it in a future version, but that has low priority for now.

Maybe at some point in the future, but probably not any time soon. Too many other things to do. FWIW, the "Smooth Motion FRC" is heavily tied to the VSync to achieve optimal results. So this feature wouldn't make sense to be used in a processing filter, at least not in its current form.

Seeing your photographs gave me an idea though. Does this work for you?

EDIT: Updated the pattern.



Hopefully this pattern will work to easily identify what your display is using for chroma processing.

4:4:4 and 4:2:2 should be obvious, and it seems that the image should just appear to be a solid color with 4:2:0 processing.
4:4:4 example, 4:2:2 example.

EDIT: 720p friendly pattern.
Looks good! Will add this to the first few posts in this thread.

That should be a bug. Can you please try to find out in which circumstances this bug occurs? Maybe only when using SmoothMotion FRC? If you have found out, could you please create an issue in the madVR bug tracker for this? Thanks.

The problem with test files is that if they work but your TV recording does not, you still don't know much more than before, because jerky motion could be caused by many different things (e.g. broken timestamps).

If you want to know whether Smooth Motion FRC works alright, you can test this with any 24p Blu-Ray. The IVTC processing itself should work correctly, if it reports 3:2 and no cadence breaks and if you don't see any combing artifacts.

The best idea might be to upload a small sample for me to look at. You could also cross check with the DScaler IVTC Mod.

I can create a new device in preferences but I can not tell to madVR to use it. I would like to use different PC/TV levels and 3dlut for each display linked to AV Receiver.

I don't accept feature requests at the moment (too much on my list already). Please feel free to request this again when madVR has reached v1.0.

Sadly, motion judder is still existent and is even worse now since Smooth Motion appears to not work at 120hz. I was wondering if anyone could help me with this and whether or not I'm missing something.

Can your monitor do 72Hz? If so, just use that, turn off smooth motion FRC and results *should* be smooth in theory. Smooth motion FRC is really only meant to be used for displays which are not able to handle a refresh rate which is an even multiply of the source framerate. Using 120Hz for movie playback itself doesn't have any benefits over 72Hz, unless you want to use things like BFI etc, which madVR currently does not support.

Of course generally 120Hz should also produce smooth output. Are you using fullscreen exclusive mode? Does the madVR OSD (Ctrl+J) report any frame drops, delayed frames or presentation glitches? For 120Hz you might want to increase the size of the GPU queue and the number of backbuffers / pre-presented frames.

Actually, DXVA2 is available on XP, when you install .NET 3.0 or newer. However, whether GPU drivers support DXVA2 decoding on XP is another question.

Latest madVR/MPC-HC (LAV), Reclock and Intel HD Graphics 15.31.17.3257. Will test HD4400 in a couple of weeks. Nothing crucial, but AMD5670 works without any similar issues.
That sounds weird. Do you have the "use a separate device for presentation" on or off? Try turning it off. There are some known problems with this feature turned on, when using the very latest Haswell + Ivy Bridge drivers.

RGB 444 to YCC 444 convertion is more accurate.
I believe the only reason why a TV is converting to YCC 422 is because some internal chip is limited to this resolution during processing. Usually it's the chip responsible for deinterlacing, scaling, color tweaks etc. Which means that it doesn't really matter whether you feed the TV RGB 444 or YCC 444. *Both* are likely to be downconverted to YCC 422.

There are 2 new problems you're getting when using YCC 444 output with your GPU:

(1) You can only hope that the RGB -> YCbCr / YCbCr -> RGB matrixes used by the GPU and the display are identical. If they're not, colors will get screwed up.

(2) If the GPU converts the madVR RGB 444 output to YCC 444 behind madVR's back, it *probably* does so without dithering in 8bit. I don't know for sure, maybe some newer GPUs do this in a higher bitdepth if the display supports DeepColor. But I somehow doubt it. Converting RGB to YCC without dithering in 8bit is lossy and can introduce banding artifacts.

Not really. http://www.hdtvtest.co.uk/news/panasonic-tx-p50vt50b-p50vt50-201204101757.htm?page=Performance
Quote:
When we test input lag and 4:4:4 chroma reproduction, we hook up a laptop or PC graphics card using a DVI-to-HDMI cable, which by nature causes computer-style RGB signals to be fed to the TV (DVI does not support the more video-centric YCbCr digital component format). When we were feeding the Panasonic VT50 with video in this way, the [1080p Pure Direct] mode was not selectable in the menus, and the TV did not resolve full 4:4:4 chroma bandwidth.

We found a newer laptop, with an HDMI output, and connected this to the TX-P50VT50. This did allow the [1080p Pure Direct] mode to be turned on, and the chroma resolution did increase to allow tiny coloured details to be visible. However, when we looked at the tiny pixel-thin details on our 4:4:4 test chart, we saw that the transitions were not entirely clean and suffered from subtle edge enhancement artefacts, suggesting that the chroma channels are subject to the same micro-sharpening we noted at length earlier. So, 1080p Pure Direct is not 100% pure. We did also try the tricks we normally use on Samsung HDTV sets (naming the input PC in the [Input Label] screen), but this doesn't unlock any subtle picture differences on the Panasonic TX-P50VT50B.
..............
Panasonic sells Blu-ray players with Reference Chroma Processing, which promise to better reconstruct the details lost to chroma sub-sampling, and then output the chroma-upscaled image as a full-bandwidth 4:4:4 signal over HDMI. Ironically, the effects of these players will have mostly been lost on previous Panasonic plasmas due to their inability to display full chroma bandwidth! We assume that the 1080p Pure Direct feature has been added to address this irony, and that it is intended for use with these advanced BD players, meaning that customers now have an entirely Panasonic-branded solution for enhanced chroma detail from Blu-ray.

The text you've quoted seems to suggest that in "1080p Pure Direct" mode 4:4:4 is fully supported ("the chroma resolution did increase"). I don't see any evidence in your quote that RGB would be downscaled to 4:2:2 while YCbCr 4:4:4 would not.

Well the point is moot for me. When I output a 1024x768 signal from my HD5770, the options to set to YCbCr disappear. Those are only available in the HDTV modes.

can someone plz try out lanczos 8 ar with an gtx 760 and/or windows 7 overlay mode and report back?

in the same pc my hd4000 works totally fine so i don't think reinstalling the hole pc can fix this.

on top of this windows 7 overlay outputs a black screen.

this happens with every video. i just notice this with the d-fend recording.

Hi, I'm trying to calibrate a Samsung LED 4200 series HDTV with PC attached using latest Argyl and dispcalGUI until new replacement monitors arrive and I'm getting posterized shadows viewing after calibration.

Settings I've used are 6500k, 80 cdm, rec709 gamma.

The result is quite a milky bright flat output in a dimmly lit room.

Any advice, should I be using sRGB curve or setting a 2.2, 2.4 gamma specifically or is my black point way out? Not sure how I should be setting and balancing between backlight, contrast and brightness. dispcalGUI has only asked me to adjust RGB gains to get the channels aligned in its gui and hit the 80 cdm.

Didn't have this problem with my CRT but it's just packed up. :-(

In this thread, specifically this post you'll find madshi's recommended params for calibrating with Argyll which worked well for me.

EDIT: added a link to madshi's actual post

madshi,
would you, please, add a link to your recommended lines in the first post of the current thread? This will make it a lot easier for beginners in calibration like me.

I've been reading the 4:2:2/4:4:4 discussion lately and when I did the test I was sad to see that my two projecors (EPSON TW2000 and TW9000) are both using 4:2:2 when in 1080p24 mode while maintaining 4:4:4 mode when using 1080p50/60 modes. So I'd like to ask the community here including you madshi which would you consider the lesser evil for wathcing 24p content (Blu-ray movies) - the cut down chroma channel or the ghosting and other potential artefacts when using Smooth Motion FRC at 1080p60?

Windows only supports one overlay per monitor. If some other software is already using overlay, madVR might show a black screen. That's something on my to do list, to check for this problem and automatically use normal windowed mode instead of overlay, if somebody else is already using overlay. However, I wonder how likely it is that somebody else is already using overlay on your PC. Maybe media playback in your browser? Maybe it's more likely that it simply doesn't work at all on your PC, for whatever reason...

Does this only happen when using the file name tag? Or does also happen if you switch to forced film mode via keyboard shortcuts? Or when you force film mode in the madVR settings and then restart the media player? In other words: Is this specific to the file name tag, or does forced film mode not work at all with PotPlayer on your PC?

Try both and let your eyes decide. The cut chroma channel might not be a big problem if all you're doing is 4:2:0 video playback and if the display is using a "good" algorithm to upsample chroma again to 4:4:4 after all the other processing is done. On the other hand, personally, I don't see any ghosting artifacts with Smooth Motion FRC. I'm still not convinced that those users who see ghosting are maybe using displays which have a different internal refresh rate or a scanning backlight which runs at a different refresh rate, or whether something might go wrong on their setups...

It's specific to file name tag. No artifacts with force film and no tag but also isn't ivtc'd correctly. I tested it on 3 PC's, same artifacts with potplayer on all, no artifacts with mpc-be on all.

Nope. I use a keyboard shortcut to view the remaining time in MPC-BE (Ctrl I) which is just as good really.

Hello all, first post here!

One question: I've a 2600k and a 7870. Now, I have my out usually set to the onboard gfx to save power and it fires up the 7870 when needed via virtu software. My question is, how can I set madvr to use the 7870 for acceleration when the output is set to my onboard?

I notice something strange, but very subtle and hard to spot while playing HD content.

Everything seems to play buttersmooth, but during specific tiny movements (typically a slow moving object in the distance or background) I notice some stutter, exclusively focussed on that object. it's like the object jumps from one place to the next (but very subtle) and there are some frames missing in between.

But even during these moments, all other motion and all other objects of the image are perfectly portrayed. The statistics also show no frame drops whatsoever.

My best guess: some motion detection algorithm is playing the wrong tricks?

Specs:
AMD Radeon 7770

And as you just said, isn't 4:2:2 more than enough when YV12 is 4:2:0 anyway?

And also if the display itself only takes 4:2:2 input, wouldn't that make sense to convert chroma in mVR to 4:2:2 instead of 4:4:4? I presume that a 4:2:2 display will process an averaging lossy conversion anyway.....most likely from the computer's RGB32 to 4:2:2 YCbCr and then back to RGB

The ideal scenario would be to output 4:2:2 YCbCr from the computer, but the latter is more than likely processed in 8bit from RGB32 and that'd open the can of decoding matrix worms

And this also works in Exclusive Mode?

Madshi,
Zou je in een volgende release de Exclusive Mode notificatie linksboven in het scherm als optie kunnen verwijderen?
