All the monogatari series (bake/nise/neko/2nd season) have frequent layout changes as well, similar to dark knight. TV rips might be a good option since there will be a logo (partially) on the black bars as well |

Hi madshi, I was wondering if you could please be of any assistance regarding my problems with a GTX660 on XPSP3
Randomly, I don't get any picture at all when I open a new movie....sometimes I can seek a few times and I'll finally get a picture after 10/15 secs, sometimes some movies stutter badly....strangely many movies work just fine and sometimes even those that used to not give any picture before play perfectly fine right from the start ??? I've reset everything(mVR/Reclock/LAV/PotP) to no available and all movies play fine with EVR. They behave in the same erratic way with mVR+MPCHC. Using the old or new rendering path doesn't change anything. I realize that XP is a caveman OS but you can read everywhere that it's still fueling ±50% of the computers in the world and personally it does all I want as I don't care for SSD's, videogames, fancy GUI's and all that stuff.. I've made some logs available at mega.co.nz with the kinda desperate hope that you would have some of your precious time to spare me Thank you in advance for any insight! And I guess this is the alarm bell that I should install W8.1.. Last edited by leeperry; 30th August 2013 at 15:04. |

Install Windows 8 now and wait for the final version of 8.1 to be released. |

yay, I found a trick to get the darn thing working: when a movie starts without any picture, I open the "preferences" config panel of PotP, I close it et voilà picture is back! J3AR full upscale + FRC really do look amazing
here's a log(I made it as short as possible: it opened without any picture, I pressed F5 to open PotP's config panel then ESC to close it then ALT+F4), I guess that might have to do with D3D initilialization or something? The difference is dead obvious in the log, hope you can fix it Quote:

Wait… you're sticking with XP for security reasons? Seriously? You realize XP is significantly less secure than Vista/7 (e.g. no UAC) - and most importantly, Microsoft is dropping support for XP (i.e. no security updates) in the near future?

Oh wait, mVR is completely unable to detect the refresh rate when I check its OSD(someone else mentioned the same problem a while ago on XP as well)....it keeps oscillating betweeen 0Hz, then 50, 53, 56 and so on....it reads as dead-on 60.000Hz in Reclock(and in mVR as well using my old 8800GS). Will look into taking the W7SP1 plunge anytime soon as I presume that madshi has better things to do with his time.

concerning luma expansion and proper brightness/contrast calibration..
when using madvr with proper settings 1)lav video decoder yuv->rgb :untouched (as input) 2) madvr pc levels (0-255) 3)CCC everything disabled except pulldown 4)software mode (no dxva) 5)pixel format :rgb full in CCC 6)ati 7770 hdmi->hdmi benq w1070pj is it normal that i don't get the BTB(0-16) and WTW(235-255) information using calibration discs because of the luma expansion done by madvr (16-235 -> 0-255)? PS toggling between RGB full and limited doesn't seem to affect my brightness/contrast levels(either in desktop or within mpc)...i don't think this is normal,ehh? Thanks!

Considering how long they have been spying, (older news about that go as far as nineties, though written off as conspiracy theories), about any OS could have a backdoor. Even linux's SElinux feature was at least partially written by the NSA, so you can't really hide anyway. Though instead of win8 I'd personally go with win7

Yep, I'm not ready for the W8 metro bs just yet.......I'll be taking baby steps, and I might as well install W7SP1 on a SSD saving me from the HDD partitioning nightmare.
Well, at least AMD made it clear and gave up on XP altogether.....nvidia did not and I keep reading that DX9 games run faster on XP than on W7/8.....but anyway, there's little point for madshi to waste his time on XP and tbh I've been craving HPET since forever, time to put it all in action as there's no point in living in the past....and soon or later I'll be forced to move on anyway. Direct2D also seems pretty yummy Concerning security, the way I see it: no open port = no problem. You also have to disable every non-vital background process and it'll take me a good while to learn the tricks of the trade all over again....and also to find a proper rules based trustable firewall, but using a 2012 DX11 GPU on a 2001 DX9 OS just doesn't make sense And to avoid complete OT, I'll say that a 2GB GTX660 is really a dream come true with mVR...even with all buffers set to the max + FRC enabled(with a Q9450) I barely reach 1.2GB of VRAM and 30% of GPU load. It'll take 60fps 1440*1080 to seriously load the board and I do plan on keeping it for a while as this Asus is really just as silent as the reviews claim. Hopefully the GW2760HS won't be a letdown either Last edited by leeperry; 31st August 2013 at 19:22. |

a Q9450 in an equally old system but mVR does pretty much everything on the GPU and the LAV decoder uses CUVID for H264/VC1 & MPEG2 decoding so no need for a high-end CPU. I barely see 10-15% CPU loads while watching movies.
The more you wait, the cheaper the 660 will get as the 760 is making is obsolete and resellers can't afford to lose money on their outstanding stock....all this said, Asus boards are always the most silent in every review. They're not the coolest though as the heatsink is DirectCU but its fins are aluminium and the fans don't rotate very fast so this might be a problem in a small HTPC where you would prefer a ref board with a turbine fan that instantly exhausts the hot air out of the box. OTOH that'll be noisier. Quote:

As for virtu.... well, regrdless of it, let's forget I mentioned it. Is it possible that madvr uses the gfx card that's not outputing to monitor for hardware acceleration? Or is it possible to add that feature at some point? SVP does. I mean, I use the builtin intel HD 3000 for output, but it can use another gfx card in the system for opencl acceleration (the radeon 7870 in my case). Can madvr do something similar? Thx! |

Sure, that's a very valid question! Having HD 3000 as a primary card of sorts means the 7870 is in idle mode for about 80% of the time I spend before my computer, surfing the net, managing files and writing emails. That results in much lower power consumption and heat dissipation inside my tower. Also, quicksync is readily available to lav decoder without resorting to tricks when HD 3000 is active for video playback.

madVR is great. i asked before if i need change anything on madVr options since i have a panasonic G20 and only do 4:2:2 not 4:4:4
1) on madVR options should i change RGB levels for TV (16-235) or to PC (o-255)? 2) on LAV video configuration should i change RGB levels for TV or PC? 3) i have a receiver denon 2309 and i set it for TV levels. i sold my last laptop with hd5650 and buy new one with gt630m gpu. need change anything on nvidia options? thanks |
