madVR - high quality video renderer (GPU assisted)

Known problem with MadVR
Search for the earlier posts on Macrovison errors and you'll find a work around.

Thanks for your reply Hypernova

BTW, what does madvr refresh changer do? Does it make the playback smoother by increasing the frames per second (FPS) by interpolating like SVP and InterFrame? If yes, then how to set it up for 60 FPS?

It does not interpolate.

If it wasn't clear to you, what is being changed is monitor's refresh rate, not video fps. So your monitor has to support the refresh rate that you specified.

Thanks! All fixed!

Oops! I thought it interpolates! Thanks for clearing it out namaiki and Hypernova.

hey everyone.

i'm using an 256mb 8600gt in one of my computers, and it appears to me that it is running out of video ram when using both madvr and lav cuvid.

My question is, is there a certain combination of settings in madvr that will perhaps help me?

You can try disable Aero with madVR, if it isn't already.

I feel the same pain, but basically I just gave up offloading video decode to the GPU.

You hear audio and the playback goes on but the picture freezes. No such thing in windowed mode. I suppose I should tell me specs after saying that.
C2D E8400, HD6970, MPC-HC 3114r (JanWillem32 version), any decoder (but I use PDVD10 2229 DXVA most frequently).
And madVR settings: http://rghost.ru/7256041/image.png

Same thing (exactly) for me... Any idea?

unckecking "present several frames in advance" solves the issue here

[enzinoxl]

I'll try this evening!

i have had the same problem so thanks again for the solution

while we are on bugs:
loading certain mp4 files causes a green band at the bottom of the screen. only solution i have found is loading another mp4 first then the problem one stright after
any cure for this?

edit:
looks like the above fix works for the 'green' problem too

Hi,

well, i tried unckecking "present several frames in advance", but no effect. I have to say that i use ffdshow post processing and so i tried also uncheck queue option in ff and it's no perfect but better... (video stop very less frequently).

now i' ll try also use reclock...

[pacemaker1000]

i have stopped using reclock as it seems to cause more problems and with the display being 23.977 i dont seem to need it anymore

[enzinoxl]

thanks a lot pacemaker1000,

but i have a projector with 50.000 and 60.000.

however i realized can't use reclock cause spdif out...

i have just set 50.000 for video at 25.000 and 60.000 for video at 23.976, but problem remains...

you need reclock then but should definately not be using 60 for 23.976 video as it is too far out. use 50 instead and set reclock to 5% speed up/slow down on its second page. when running leave it in auto mode

[enzinoxl]

thanks but reclock isn't compatible with spdif audio out...

what do you mean?
it works fine using ac3 encode and saves having to use ac3filter for aac audio

[YlangYlang]

Will add to pacemaker1000 - i'm using ReClock with ac3 Encode enabled and output to spdif - works fine to me.
On the Audio Settings page I tick Use AC3 Encoding and Accept Bitstream Formats, on the Video Settings page I set Maximum Slowdown and Maximum Speedup to 5% both.
With these settings I get smooth picture and only very rare sound "clicks" which sometimes are barely audible (in active scenes).

Just want to mention that I have some 50 fps content which I can borderline play with madvr, and build 61 without vsync priority fix drops frames, but the one with vsync fix doesn't.
