I thought you can override placement on per style basis Or maybe vsfilter is not that advanced then.

All of this is because vsfilter (the external version) is the renderer that defines the standards for advanced subtitle formats like ssa and ass, and every subtitle file that is being created is being created to work the way vsfilter works.
Not exactly as there are some differences between MPCHC and vsfilter renderers, apparently.
In MPCHC you can, for instance, select the texture resolution to render subs on.

Something interesting i've found out. When you turn VSYNC and Triple Buffer on (in 3D settings,in catalyst), you get much smoother playback . On my pioneer tv it even seems like 100Hz . I chose in all the options ,lancroz 8.

a question on those lanczos filters, is it the higher the better (just with more GPU power needed)? if yes then why was lanczos4 chosen instead of lanczos8 for luma downscaling, shouldnt lanczos8 be better then?

You shouldn't ask "which one is better" questions. Also, the differences between Lanczos 4/8 tap and the other algorithms have been discussed long ago.

Have you guys tried the new dithering option in ffdshow? Madshi's test patterns look very very close to madVR. I see no real world difference.

Rephrasing makes no difference. People have different tastes, so for some people Lanczos-ringing will look better than to others.

Where would that be, which revision? I haven't seen any announcements. Who implemented it?

3. Initial video load drops a lot of frames (even with tear-fix disabled), about 9-15 dropped.
4. Pressing Stop and then seeking, doesn't update the image (and pressing Stop doesn't show the first video frame either).
5. Pressing Pause doesn't pause the image instantly, at least 3-4 more frames are displayed.
6. I still get the occasional full on freeze (no image, GUI stops responding).
7. It takes 2-3 seconds longer than other renderers for the first video frame to show.

WinVista 32bit, NV 7600GT


I kinda think the pause thing is cool - it's like it rolls to a stop


Blight, while you are here...how about rudimentary Bluray navigation in ZP please? Open-> Drive and it plays the main title. (HD-DVD too!) No menu or anything difficult - just read the playlist and play the longest/main title.

With MadVR and basic navigation, ZP will leap frog over MPC-HC.

Because, at the moment, MPC-HC has implemented Bluray navigation and smooth playback with EVR custom....you are getting left behind

MadVR fixes the smooth playback...so now we need the navigation.

Thank you

Mark (ZP user since...oooo...V2 or 3...I forget, but I think I bought the Cineplayer decoders for DVD about then, as they were red hot at the time).

Sorry for the OT guys.

See the changelog, rev2947 and up. AFAIK there are no builds up there, I'm using my own. madVR is sighly better, but I can see absolutely no real world differences and it has the advantage of being renderer agnostic. You can use it where you want as long as the renderer accepts RGB32.

Similar advice to Mark_A_W, who also somehow believes Haali's renderer has a subtitler incorporated. Just use the vsfilter.dll I've linked to in a previous post, and be done with it. No more "madVR doesn't support subtitles" nonsense, please. This is the fourth time I write about this, but some people seem to have selective blindness.
Ok, it took me ages to get subtitles to work for 1080p MKV files, using DirectVobSub and Ffdshow.

When I try to play a file using MadVR it fails, with Haali it works.

Can you please start a thread on how to download/install/configure VSfilter? I can't even find a version newer than 2005...

I tried reduce the number of process that's running, doesn't seem to help. I'll hope that fullscreen exclusive mode give me a better result.

About ffdshow dithering, I just try that and it doesn't seem to give me any better result on the color band that I posted before, so I'm still keep my eyes closed on madVR

MadVR 0.10 report
Nvidia 9400 IGP, Intel 8300/2.83Gh, Vista 32, 185.85 video driver, MPC-HC
display refresh rate 23.976
AERO ON

playing 1080p@23 NO RESIZING

display 23.976 correct and stable, time keeps growing (I have issues with 0.9 +185.85)
movie fps 23.976fps (says source filter)
decoder queue 16/16
upload queue 4-5/8
render queue 7-8/8
movie res 1920,1080
target rectangle 0,0,1920,1080

dropped frames stable
delayed frames stable

Playback is very smooth and colours are vivid!

Remark:
1) After seeking 'upload queue', 'render queue' show something strange like 8/8, 8/8
2) Issue with VC-1 WMV DMO decoder: 'delayed frames' and 'dropped frames' are progressing. And using MPC-HC internal VC-1 decoder everything is OK.
3) Tearing when Aero OFF.

Thank you madshi!

With your graphics card, I think that even the fullscreen mode will not help you. Remember that madVR is shader based, and the old cards are not powerful enough in that area...

Which is interesting, as according to the sig, Hypernova has a HD2600 Pro 512mb.

I have a HD2600XT 256mb, which is a tiny bit faster, and I have no problems at all. (But I am watching 1920x1080 material at 1920x1080, so only Chroma scaling).

Thanks

But I'm already running it, it seems. DirectVobSub and VSfilter are the same thing.

It's not working for me, so there must be a configuration setting I'm missing - I'll play around.

Thanks for the confirmation. I am aware that this is something that madshi can't fix.

I will probably wait for madVR to support subs. I don't think it would be useful to add a workaround in MPC-HC for something that is going to be added to madVR anyway.

Okay i tested 0.10 on my system (4770 on w7 x64 RC1)

Here are the stats:

Display 60.000XXHz (YY) (XX this changes every few seconds, YY keeps gettting higher and higher)
Movie (accurately shows the correct value for each sample i tested)
Decoder queue 16 / 16
upload queue 4-5 / 8 (very rarely it will show 6 / 8)
render queue 8 / 8

Frames drop or delay only on startup and seek

Whats wierd though is that nothing will change these numbers, it doesnt matter if i use nearest neighbour or lancsoz 8

It also does not matter if i do or don't scale (up or down) the input resolution doesn't matter either

EDIT:

Wow wierdness, actually nearest neighbour shows 4/8 and lancsoz8 shows 5/8

EDIT2:

Could someone write a small tutorial on how to get subtitles working?
