Good player to get maximum out of high end gpu and system
I was wondering if you have the latest high end gpu and system what player would you choose to get the best from your hardware for watching hd videos? this can be free or paid one.

I just want to know what direction should I go for getting max from the hardware. Maybe even some tweak and customization in my player would make things much better. I use mpc HC and VLC most of the time. |

I rest my case that the player itself is up to your choice(the minimalist MPC-HC, the complicated but very powerful ZoomPlayer/PotPlayer/KMPlayer and prolly several others) but madVR and Reclock will surely be solid assets for a stunning experience
lavfilters are also true rockers if you have a nvidia board! Last edited by leeperry; 14th December 2012 at 04:25. |

If choosing a directshow based player like kmplayer or mpc-hc or zoomplayer or potplayer or any others, I'd recommend also using lavfilters and ffdshow to decode some formats. Also, since you have high end hardware, don't forgot to use svp. It's really quite cool.

The player itself is just a box. What you want is perfect rendering: video and audio.
For sound JRiver bits any other player: any source, bitstream or unpacked, WASAPI or ASIO (with proper support to USB async DACs). There are 2 conceptions of video rendering: protected YCbCr or RGB. So you have to try them both to check what your display prefers and make your pick. For YCbCr best player is ArcSoft TMT, and for RGB best player is JRiver (meaning that JRiver is also the best one in audio rendering). Keep in mind that ArcSoft TMT is not that flexible to the sources and prefers BD and DVD. So, your best option to try is JRiver. |

I run on a decent system, i7 3770K @ 4.5Ghz and a Nvidia GTX 680.
I like using Zoom Player with LAVfilters, MadVR, and Reclock. Zoom Player is nice because it can download and install the filters it wants to use via its Install Center. It also has all the options I could want (and lots more). Using Jinc resize in MadVR looks great and takes a decent GPU. I just use software decoding in LAV filters because with a strong cpu I have found it to be the most trouble free. The only exception is VC1, which works better using CUVID decoding. I don't really like SVP myself. Native high frame rate content is nice but I don't feel the need to make up extra frames. Last edited by Asmodian; 14th December 2012 at 21:59. |

Any lightweight media player that support external filter load (for ffdshow avisynth pp, reclock, splitter etc) and madvr will do for me. The rest is subjective (UI, special need like remote control support, gapless playback, SVP, etc).

Reporting back:
I just tried SVP and also madVR. SVP is playing back my 9gig mkv movie at 60fps and its just so smooth and good looking! I just can't believe my eyes! I am so happy I finally asked this question. My cpu usage at highest setting is around 50% and gpu around 40. Madvr using about 6 to 9% gpu and almost same cpu amount! but quality is still much much better then what I had with vlc I use mpc hc to play my files. apparently the 64bit version is not working so using mpc 32bit. |

Probably a huge noob question.. but I installed SVP and it just keeps showing "waiting for ffdshow video".
I'm using MPC-HC with the settings on imouto website... Can someone please tell me what do I have to do, to make SVP work for me? |
