It should be nearly full during playback.

Once you've got the decoder sorted out, next is rendering. You could start by restoring madVR default settings, then activate all the "trade quality for performance" settings. If playback is already smooth that way, you can uncheck the "trade quality" options one by one, starting at the bottom, moving up, until playback starts to judder again.

Super thanks for the advice!! I'll go ahead & set this up and do some testing. Will reach back.

Thanks again.
