Not everything is clear, but I appreciate the effort. You have taught me several things I didn't know.

My wish is to have an introduction that summarizes the video rendering process. My curiosity surrounds how the whole process fits together, which helps me decide what settings are important and what aren't. Because, for most of us, madVR settings are a compromise based on the limitations of your hardware. You can't just turn everything on at the maximum settings.

I'm thinking something like:

The Video Rendering Process Summarized:
  • Chroma Upscaling to YCbCr 4:4:4 to match native luma resolution.
  • YCbCr to RGB conversion for both luma and chroma.
  • Image Scaling to target resolution. This may include luma/chroma doubling.
  • Introduction of dithering and debanding to reach desired RBG bit depth.
  • Picture appears on the screen.

Something like that. I have no idea if the order is right. It puts the whole guide into context and helps people understand what it all means.

I have been putting together a beginners guide to using madVR with an MPC with Kodi Entertainment Center and I'm constantly updating it to be more accurate/useful. Of course, I linked to this post in the madVR section because you know more than I do.
