madVR - high quality video renderer (GPU assisted)

[Neo-XP]

@madshi as requested.

The context : when using MadVR with XySubFilter to display subtitles outside of the video area with the option "move subtitles to bottom of the screen/window" of the "zoom control" menu, when an italic subtitle appears (<i> tag), the italic subtitle and all the following subtitles (italic or not) are displayed into active video area.

MadVR settings : settings.reg

The subtitles : subtitles.srt

Subtitle n°1 :



Subtitle n°2 :



Tell me if you need any more details to reproduce the problem.

Ah ok.

Thanks, I can reproduce it now. From what I can see, I will need to fix this in XySubFilter, not in madVR...

will ripping movies with MakeMKV keep the subtitle positions or do I need to rip them to .iso or .m2ts with tsmuxer in order for MadVR to playback 3D subtitles properly?

Ive been testing ripped BDs which are 24 and playing them all on 60 using JRiver/madvr.

Ive been trying the three smooth motion settings, only when judder, only when exact frame match, and always on. They all seem to have an occasional skipped frame on the features which are all 24.
I have been playing over and over a part in a movie and notice this on all three settings, even off!
When I go back and change back to 24 the skipped frames are no longer there. Now this isn’t happening every minute, but it does happen ever so often...

Is there anything you can think of that might fix this when Im playing 24 features at 60?
I have the 970 card, and all of the settings set to the lowest NEED13 set to 16.

I want to play at card set to 60Hz as many others here do and say its so much smoother than at 24.

BTW. The person who built the PC for me added JRiver and madvr, they may have played round with some of the settings..
Is there a way to reset madvr back to its default settings?

Windows 7? Make sure you have the Windows 7 Platform Update installed. Also Aero / desktop composition must be active.


Thanks for replying Aero was to blame, had not activated it.
Went from bad to worse though. When checking DX11 and playing a movie now now i get a black screen (file gets opened though, I can see the timer going off )

Im running the latest MPC-HC with the latest mad-vr(09015) on the latest NVIDIA(364.51) drivers on Windows 7.

Every mad-vr option on default except dx9/dx11

madshi, will you be adding "sigmoidal light" to chroma and downscaling as well?

Also, has any further work been done on the debanding filter to target pixelation?

I've tried with EVR-CP and it never crashes, it only crashes with MadVR selected as the renderer, but I agree that as the software crashing is MPC-BE and not MadVR it's not 100% conclusive.

I'll test with MPC-HC and I'll report.

By the way, I'm using all 64bits apps, in case it matters.

you can't use that on chroma.

You can reset madVR to its default settings by finding the madVR plugin folder in JRiver and running the "reset settings" file.

To improve the performance of smooth motion, try increasing the size of the GPU queue size in general settings. This will provide greater protection against these glitches.

For your refresh rate problem, madshi mentioned you can use madVR profile rules to create profiles for devices -> display modes. You could set your entire pre-show content to be played at 60 Hz and the feature at 24 Hz.

Select devices.
Click create profile group.
Add display modes to the profile group.
Create two profiles: name one folder something like "Pre-show" and the other "Feature."

if (fileName = "introduction.mkv") "Pre-show"
else if (fileName = "trivia.mkv") "Pre-show"
else if (fileName = "trailers.mkv") "Pre-show"
else "Feature"

Leave the display modes field blank under "Pre-show." Under "Feature," enter "1080p23."

One profile will play without refresh rate matching. The other will switch to 1080p24 when the feature starts.

Hi Warner, ok this all sounds very interesting but when it switches from the 60 content to the feature at 24 Im back to the same old problem with the SLOW SYNC of the JVC RS600 projector, arnt I?

The proj takes up to 17+ secs to sync between 60 > 24, it plays the audio but clips all the video until it finally hand shakes. You miss all the logos and intro of the feature, its horrible!

This was the whole reason to remain on 60 for all the files, trailers, shorts we play before the feature at our film club.
The 24 feature was then to remain also on 60 so everything transitions nice and smoothly for files and feature, nothing clipped or missing on the screen....

[Magik Mark]

Madshi,

The author of Adaptive Sharpen recommends linear light when using this. Is it being followed?

Ok... So now I know what this website really worths ^^

Here's a new link for my videos about deinterlacing and my issues with it : http://www46.zippyshare.com/v/BiIrl8f9/file.html

I hope it will work this time. If it doesn't, please tell me what website I need to use.

I think you misunderstood me, I'm talking here only when I use deinterlacing and not in general.

I have a Core i5 4670k @ 4.0 Ghz. Disabling automatic black bar detection doen't change anything.

I tested in the past with DXVA decoding enabled but I still experienced dropped frames with interlaced content.

The 3D depth information is partially lost. The MakeMKV devs are *VERY* sluggish to respond. See here:

But you do have the Windows 7 Platform Update installed? And you don't get a picture, neither in windowed nor in fullscreen exclusive mode?

Pixelation? What pixelation? I've no idea what you're talking about.

That's a good host, thanks. As is e.g. mediafire.

Does the decoder queue fill with the same video if you disable deinterlacing completely?

No work has been done on debanding. I believe it's current state is good enough and is unlikely to receive much of the way of changes in future.. if anything.
Anyway, what you mentioned would normally fall under denoising, which madVR is likely to tackle at some point..

there is no "light" that can be "changed" to linear light because it is chroma.

I think they mean using it for deblocking. I do think having a deblocking filter (maybe separately for chroma, which often seems to be very heavily compressed on things like Youtube videos) would be nice, but yeah.. different kind of filter.

Oh ok. I thought (s)he meant that debanding would *cause* pixelation.

Yeah makes sense. He'll be able to take care of that when madshi adds Vapoursynth support. Once that's done many often used filters could make their way into the options without hassle.. we'd basically have a mini ffdshow inside madVR.

If we are talking about the same adaptive Sharpen. The author recommends gamma light as input.

I'm sorry my initial posts stated "linear light" its gamma light
