MPC-HC's usability leaves much to be desired for any kind of constant height / constant area HT installs. With MPC-HC, although you can define multiple height / width presets, you have to start MPC-HC in a window, bring up the context menu, select the DVD / file you want to play, switch to fullscreen, bring up the context menu again, select pan and scan, and then choose your preset. Meanwhile you are already 30 seconds into the movie. That's not what most HT enthusiasts with front screen projection constant height installs are looking for. With ZP, you press a key to start DVD playback and you press another key to adjust the image size to a user defined height and width. madVR gives a ZP user an alternative to VMR9 and EVR with far superior image quality, and there is no question in my mind that madVR delivers the best possible DVD image. In fact, thanks to madVR / MPC-HC I am rewatching many of my DVD's and enjoying them as never before. Another alternative is Theatertek which performs the same type of AR control functions and allows 24 user definable presets. YXY and aspect ratio controller are two other pieces of software that will do the same to almost any media player window, but then you don't get exclusive mode.

Can I get a log? Please keep it frozen for 10 seconds. After that kill the media player via task manager. That will make sure that the end of the log shows exactly the freeze and not the recovery after going back to windowed mode. Thx. |

Again, I don't want to waste you're time asking silly questions when you have more important thinsg to be thinking about, but if you have time to answer, what situations does madVR still have to unpause the audio? Theres only some rare occasions when my audio stops for a second, I guess theres nothing that can be done about these situations or anything that we can do on our end to stop it happening?

madVR itself doesn't stop audio from playing, not even if you activate the "delay playback start..." option. Audio stop is caused by either Direct3D or the GPU driver. |

As for the blank screen, I've never had this issue so I can't really tell. Here's the filters I use to play DVDs in MPC-HC with madVR. LAVSplitter (prefer) LAV Audio Decoder (prefer) NVidia Video Decoder (default merit) ffdshow Audio Processor (prefer) You can replace NVidia Video Decoder with ddfshow, it works too. I use NVidia's for hardware acceleration, but if LAV Cuvid worked with DVDs I'd be using that. @madshi : I'll be testing 0.68 and report back if the gree screen problem is still present |

EDIT: Sometimes it still gets stuck for more than 10 seconds...maybe the transition needs to be smoothed out slightly. Last edited by dansrfe; 23rd July 2011 at 17:06. |

OK, tests done.
Good news is : no more green screen. As far as individual video files are concerned, it works great. Bad news is : it won't read DVDs. I didn't touch anything on my filters settings, I uninstalled madVR 0.66, intalled 0.68, kept all settings to default and when trying to launch a DVD it is set to pause and can't be played. I reverted back to 0.66 and DVDs launch fine. EDIT : test was done on MPC-HC 1.5.2.3446 |

Hmmmm... For decoding? You mean the output FourCC (like YV12, NV12, RGB32 etc)? I'd suggest to have all checkboxes set so that ffdshow can output the best matching format. Quote:
