as reported by madVR in "movie resolution"
Where do I get that information? I checked in the tray icon and the MadVR settings but found nothing.

I get black screen with Alt+PrintScreen. With PrintScreen only I get a screenshot with windowed MPC-HC and task bar.

And even if it worked, what do you suggest? Pasting it in Paint and saving each and every screenshot, giving it a unique name and delaying the watch?

he suggests it because there is simply no other alternative. you could try an easier method of capturing maybe using FastStone Capture (which is what I use) since it can predefine windowed areas and autosave. until madshi adds capture support this is a perfectly fine alternative.

You should disable the FS exclusive mode when you want to use the PrintScreen.
Did you try FRAPS? It should work on D3D surfaces as well.

When I use tvlevels in madVR I get grey blacks although I would not expect this to happen with my configuration: beamer set to HDMI range normal (not expanded), MPC-HC render settings set to use tv levels, decoder (if setting available) configured to use tvlevels.

When I configure madVR to use PC levels the grey's become black again... is this correct?

Configuration: Windows 7 x86, Nvidia GT220, beamer connected as monitor 2 on extended desktop.

With the PC levels setting, madVR expands from TV levels to PC, so that is correct.

My TV automatically expands TV levels to PC, so I use the TV levels setting so that it is not expanded by madVR.

But my whole setup is set to use tv levels so no expansion should be needed?

Your graphics card seems to be outputting PC levels, so you must expand from TV to PC to get black.

But when I use EVR instead of madVR, MPC-HC's tvlevels are used and the blacks are correct.

If you mean 0-255 is selected for output range (in MPC-HC renderer options which only applies to EVR-CP and possibly EVR Sync and VMR9(renderless)), then that means it's being expanded.

No, I use the 16-235 output range (TV levels) with EVR-CP to get correct blacks. So it's strange that I need to use 0-255 levels in madVR when I leave all the other settings alone.

What happens if you change EVR-CP to 0-255? (on my PC with Intel graphics, regardless of option selected, levels are always expanded)

Also, might you happen to be using CoreAVC? (make sure that input and output are both set to TV levels, and none on "Auto detect")

how does it look when using other renderes, other than EVR and madVR? maybe EVR is wrong here?

and does this behaviour actually change when using 3dlut files for TV and PC levels?

I'll try the 0-255 setting, but it should give wrong levels when the beamer is set to HDMI range normal instead of expanded, right?

I hope to be able to do some testing on both suggestions later this week.

This could be due to a bug in PotP, I'll run more tests on my previously problematic files: http://www.sat-universe.com/showpost...0&postcount=45

Please be aware that madshi has (correctly) labelled the levels controls in reverse to everyone else.

I want my levels unmolested (no expansion, black at 16), so in madVR I pick "TV".

However if ffdshow was doing the conversion to RGB I would pick "PC Levels" in ffdshow.

Just pick the one that gives you the correct result and check for banding using a smooth ramp pattern.

The expansion is quite nice actually but only if you have a high contrast monitor and no backlight bleeding like me. Twas horrible on my old monitor.
