can you make a screen from the OSD?.

hybrid decoding is eating your GPU so there is most likely little to nothing left for madVR.

Braswell actually has a full hardware 8-bit decoder.

yeah it's 8 bit HEVC in this case.

the screens look borderline fine.

you can try an different presentation mode like overlay.

fullscreen takes a lot more processing power than windowed in your case and i don't think it is just dithering more pixel.
you can use GPU-z to have a look at the powerstates too.

Ups... Sorry. I checked again - the problem started with madVR-0.88.2

madVR-0.88.1 -- OK
madVR-0.88.2 -- "disable desktop composition" is not working
Ah, thanks! I think I know what this is:

The D3D11 presentation mode *requires* desktop composition to be enabled. So if you activate D3D11 presentation mode, madVR cannot disable desktop composition, anymore. Can you confirm that when disabling D3D11 presentation mode, disabling desktop composition works fine again?

Can you try producing a freeze report like this:

In the frozen situation press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Pause/Break, then wait for 10 seconds, then there should be a freeze report text file appearing on your desktop. Upload that somewhere (don't attach it to this forum, takes too long to get approved).

I had to reduce the queue sizes to 6 to at least minimize how often things would occur.
I would end up with out-of-order frame presentation (looked like movement was jumping back and forth), screen tearing, or dropped frames.
And when playing multiple videos in succession in JRiver, it would "lose focus" after the first video and play in FSW rather than FSE - despite being in front of all the other applications.

None of this was consistently reproducible, which is why I haven't filed a bug report.
Due to those issues with madVR, and a lot of issues with other applications - including the OS itself - I've had to return to Windows 8.1.
10 really feels like a beta release right now, and I don't have the time to spend troubleshooting it at the moment.
There are definitely some things that it improves upon compared to 8.1, but it just doesn't feel finished.
That sounds pretty disappointing. FWIW, I think this is more likely to be a problem with the NVidia drivers than with Windows 10 itself, but I'm not 100% sure.

It only exists in the "screen config" device settings page if you have a projector. The reason for that is that this option is mostly only useful for CIW (constant image width) front projection owners.

It's possible, but difficult, due to 2 reasons:

1) You'd need to find an image, ideally some high quality RGB photo, where different chroma upscaling algorithms would show clear differences. In order to find such an image, you need to know what to look for. E.g. dark content with lots of black and red usually is a good idea. You should use an RGB photo which has full resolution chroma, maybe even scale it down a bit in RGB, so that the chroma channels really have full resolution and quality.

2) You need to convert the image to YCbCr 4:2:0, and you can't do that by simple downscaling chroma. You need to use the correct chroma offset, too! The chroma channel is not in center position compared to luma channel. It's slightly offset for all newer video codecs (MPEG2, h264, VC-1, h265 etc). Maybe LAV Video Decoder applies the proper offset when forcing it to output NV12? I'm not sure. @nevcairiel?

I wouldn't say "as intended". I'd like it to work for native DXVA decoding, too, but it's currently not possible to make that work because all the logic is running on the CPU. It's the same as with the forced film mode and with the deband "fade" detection. All that runs on the CPU and thus doesn't work when using native DXVA decoding. Maybe I can make it work at some point in the future. But it doesn't have high priority atm. IMHO for best quality you should use DXVA copyback or software decoding, anyway.

If it depends on the bitrate of the file then it points to the decoder being rather slow. Was 88.16 really that much faster in this situation? That would surprise me. In any case, I've implemented a special hack for you guys, I'm not going to spend hours on improving this purely cosmetical problem. Those hours would be much better invested in other things atm, to be frank.

That sounds weird. Are you sure 88.16 didn't have this problem? I can't imagine why this should be a new problem.

Yeah, you're right. The reason for that is that I'm not offering DXVA as a chroma upscaling choice at all right now (except in combination with DXVA scaling/decoding/deinterlacing), because I don't think DXVA is a good choice for that. I think DXVA chroma scaling is properly rather bad quality, anyway. So you could just as well simply set chroma upscaling to "bilinear" to get good performance with probably similar quality. And you still gain high quality color conversion by not using DXVA.

I have NUC5PPYH (Braswell CPU), Windows 10 Home, last version MPC-HC, Lav filters and madVR.

madVR all scaling option set to DXVA2.
Can you upload a debug log for me? 20 seconds windowed playback, then 20 seconds fullscreen playback, then please close the media player directly, if possible without switching back to windowed again. Please zip the debug log and upload it somewhere (don't attach to this forum). Thanks.

Maybe important to say that the 23.976 fps (doubled with Avisynth in FFDShow to 47.952) remains stable and on the same memory bank even in fullscreen exclusive mode: it changes only with the 25fps (doubled to 50fps in the same way) to the 60Hz memory bank.
This is probably a GPU driver issue, maybe in combination with D3D9. You could try if D3D11 improves the situation. Or try enabling the madVR display mode switcher and entering those refresh rates you want madVR to use. Then madVR will try its best to force Direct3D to use the correct refresh rates.

Is this bug on the list of "To-be-fixed soon" list?
Can you please make two screenshots of the debug OSD, one when playback is fine, and another when when that stuttering occurs? Does the OSD report frame drops/glitches when the stuttering occurs? Are the queues filled or empty? Which OS, which GPU?

Does it crash or freeze? If it freezes, can you please create a freeze report and it upload it somewhere (don't attach to this forum)? Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Pause/Break.

Would it be prudent to have a setting that alters the crop a handful of frames before having a relatively large increase in the resolution in the next scene? I increased the GPU/present queue sizes however it doesn't seem to make a difference in this case.
You didn't answer my question.

This might somehow be related to having a multi-monitor setup, both by HDMI at 1080p. There doesn't seem to be anything I can do to 100% prevent tearing except for Fullscreen Exclusive. This isn't something I remember occurring before the time of, say the Win 10 RTM launch.

Since Windows Vista, tearing shouldn't even be possible with GPU desktop composition, which can't be turned off anymore since Windows 8. So it's very likely a weird driver or configuration problem.

I don't know. Screenshots? If you get aliasing try increasing the SuperRes radius a bit.

This looks like a bug. When using super-xbr, luma and chroma should be treated the same way, so I have to check why the OSD reports them with different scaling paths.

Yes, it would be possible. But I'm not sure how useful it would be. You're the first user ever to ask for this, so I have my doubts. Generally I would really like to keep the OSD tray icon menu as light weight as possible. Adding lots and lots of new menu items there will make it harder to use for everyone. So there should be a *VERY* good reason to add something there, and I'm not seeing it right now for OSD on/off.

It doesn't fix it for me. Here's a small sample that still shows the problem. I'm using MPC-HC's internal renderer on the latest 64-bit Nightly build (1.7.9.165).

That's beacuse madshi only uploaded 32bit madvr.ax in the kasper build file. In the MPC-BE thread you can find his upload with both 32 and 64bit files.

OK, a small question regarding the internal subtitles in mpc-hc,mpc-be and potplayer - when they are enabled madvr's max stats jump up to 50% example: from 15 ms to 25 ms -30 ms. This happen when subtitles are shown on screen. CPU xeon 5650 @ 3,6 ghz 6 cores, video card GTX 550 TI 314.22 drivers, tried new drivers same result.

@Siso: Try latest MPC-HC's beta version https://nightly.mpc-hc.org/ It shouldn't affect madVR's render times anymore.

Full screen DXVA Scaling Off

Windowed playback (DXVA Scaling On) with debug mode is very poor. Without debug mode windowed playback is very smooth.

Here is a new test build for those that had freezes with v0.89.5 when closing the media player, or when switching video files, or moving the media player to a different monitor:

http://madshi.net/madVR895d.rar

Does this build fix those freezes/stability issues?

If the batch file doesn't work, open it with an editor to see what it does, and do it manually instead. The batch file simply renames some files, it's very simple.

That's strange, there should be no big difference between debug and release builds.

Anyway, the log only contains fullscreen playback. I asked for 20 seconds windowed and fullscreen each, so I can compare.
