madVR - high quality video renderer (GPU assisted)

[maiden]

Please excuse me if I am in the wrong area.

I am needing help with Madvr settings.
I use jriver on windows 10 machine with specs as Intel Core i5-4590 CPU, Haswell Gen2, LGA1150, 3.3GHz 6 DDR3/ 2x PCIE3.0 x16 Windows 7 64 bit Asus Z97-DELUXE ATX Motherboard Nvidia GForce GTX750TI Receiver Onkyo TX-NR925 TV LG LF6300 55" smart TV

I have madvr as defaults but I am getting an odd twitch in 23.98 material.
Can someone help with settings to try and eliminate this annoyance.

In MadVR, I've tried every setting you can imagine. HDR is set to pass-through to display along with metadata checkbox turned on. In general settings, FSE mode ends up showing black. If FSE is turned off, video is just washed out. I've tried using D311 and no change.

NOW...If I load the movie through Windows 10 movie app, HDR works instantly and looks great! What setting in madVR have I not tried?
I also set LAV filters to the default settings...(Ordered Dithering, bit untouched as input, DXVA etc....)

Thanks for any help provided. It's great that HDR is working through the windows app but I want it through the amazing madVR

Madshi helped me with this on another forum. Thank you madshi!

can you post a screen of the OSD (control+j) in playback not pused.

[Paul Tronc]

Are you using other filters like FFDShow Raw Video? Please post a screenshot of your lav settings during playback as well.

"reduce compression artifacts" quality option "high"

That options gives me stutters, even though no frames are lost or repeated...

What OS build? I am on 1607 and 0 issues with the latest madVR + latest NVidia drivers when it comes to madVR custom display settings.

If all else fails I would say to stop using windows 10.

hi,

HDR settings in madVR (under the device tab) = "LG Electronics LG TV" set as "Digital Monitor/TV"

same settings "set to passthough and send HDR metadata to display checked"

and win10 setting for HDR for the normal desktop is off




i'll do more test thx anyway

@madshi, can you improve black bar detection to include vertical videos?
Spotify started releasing them recently and madVR isn't detecting black bars at all for me.
Here's an example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pz95u3UVpaM
And here's a 30s sample: http://www13.zippyshare.com/v/PtlV6yqH/file.html

He told you the versions he's on in the very same post you are quoting, man...

Well that doesn't look good at all, in fact it looks like it was filmed horizontally with no idea of field of view and then cropped to be vertical. I really hope this doesn't get popular for commercial content.

It's just a stupid gimmick.

At low strenghts I can't see a difference. At high strenghts, I can see a difference but I can't determine if it's really better. At very high strengths it's a little bit better.

RCA: I almost always end up using, strength 10/high quality. Lower or higher strength, or medium quality, not usually very effective, for most of my anime (mostly average quality). Almost always worth, the slower rendertime, with high quality setting.
GTX 1070; 4k TV (2160p/23); NGU Sharp/high, chroma & luma direct quadruple; SSIM 2D - STRENGTH 100% + ll/ar; upscaling refinement (especially thin edges/soften edges - only once after upscaling is complete - sharpening, is almost always, my #1 issue , I think, mostly, because of 4k upscaling); low 30's render (41+ available). Images look significantly better, with RCA strength 10/high quality (more important to me, than high luma settings). Thank you!

sorry i can't really understand why a good source needs RCA in the first place.

i mean it is made to remove compression artefacts and good sources are not supposed to have them.
and even low settings can easily harm a good source.

[ryrynz]

Yeah, which is why bitrate info would be a beautiful addition to madvr profiles.

It sounded as if ALL Win10 versions are affected or became affected recently, hence 'short-lived', not just Fall Creator Update.

[huhn]

the fall creator update is 1709+ and he said that he is using that.

Sorry about that. Should have said, "average" anime sources (many, are very poor) + RCA high quality = very good image quality. I corrected my post. The best thing about madVR, for me, is that almost any source, will look good.

I agree. Even check out the effect of low deband. Now I still leave it enabled, but it's not a totally harmless filter.

So SOME earlier drivers for 1709+ do not have broken API? There were only a few releases of NVidia drivers that officially supported build 1709.
