Well I can confirm that the old fullscreen exclusive mode does have a lip sync issue (at least in JRiver) for me so make sure you don't have this problem as well. It is only slightly off but still annoying. I actually fixed it by adding a small delay in LAV audio but struggled to find the right value (about 50ms).

Windowed mode or the new full screen mode don't have this problem at all.

I can't recall when it started happening though... Switching to JRiver? updating nVidia drivers? updating madVR/LAV?...

I've lost most of my videos, couldn't test much yet.
But I tried a Lord of the rings remux and everything seemed fine.
Using MPC HC and its internal audio decoder, LAV Video Decoder and Splitter.
With my usual test samples I haven't encountered any problem either until now.

I experience no noticeable lip sync issues with FSE (old path) here, so maybe it's an Nvidia thing same as the high presentation glitches which affects Nvidia users.

I'm not too sure now... I had the issue then closed JRiver opened MPC and played the same file and... no issue. I then went back to JRiver and enabled the option to "play silence at startup for hardware synchronisation" and it seems to have helped (along with the "delay playback until queue is full" in madVR). Wonder if it has anything to do with my monitor being super slow to switch resolution/refresh rate (needs like almost a full second).

Congratulations to the developer for this piece of work. I've just tried out this madVR, but there are things I don't get or understand so well.

I have an AMD HD6950, and a 24p capable plasma. Im willing to smooth perfect playback, judder free and no frames dropped. I set GPU signal out to 23Hz (23.976) and try with a 23.976fps video, with MPC-HD.

I press Ctrl+J to get rendering info and, here comes what baffles me out; display refresh = 23.97315 (sometimes 23.97310-2397320) and 1 frame repeated every = ... here starting with hours, then go to days, back to hours, days again...etc. How is that posible?? if you do the math -> 1/(23.976-23.97320)*60 ---> it should be 1 frame dropped about every 6min aprox!!

Also, after 40min of playback, the dropped/delayed frames shown yet are 0 both. How the hell is this possible if refresh rate is 23.97320Hz at madVR statistics? its contradictory or am I interpreting that data wrong?

Um, possibly dumb question, but you don't happen to be using ReClock, right? Also, a comment, not an answer. That seems way off for what we've seen for AMD cards, which are usually very close to 23.976 (mine is around 23.97590).

all is well here, 8800GS/XPSP3/Reclock/old path...I've set the software buffers to the max, but it was already dead smooth and fully synced before anyway.

Thx; not using reclock, didnt even install it. The point is, at least one of the rendering numbers shown by madvr must be wrong; display refresh or dropped/repeated frames, since math is there.

The refresh rate madVr shows should be very accurate - I believe madshi has said not to put too much faith into the "frame drop/repeat every XXXX minutes/hours/days".

The real test is to check the actual number of dropped frames - if you don't get any, everything is fine.

As for "1 frame repeated every... " I definitely dont understand how it works... it goes from hours to days and get back too fast without apparent sense.

On Display, madVR shows 23.97315 (+- .00010). The maths says that is equivalent to 1 frame lost every 6 min for 23.976 material. No discussion here.

As for the "dropped frames", I have a doubt... does it mean "dropped frames" caused for PC performance or playback issues under a specific high tasking demanding on resources?... or is it about the frames dropped becouse the fps-Hz asynchrony mentioned above?


(BTW, I have a Q6600@3.60GHz, AMD HD6950 and 8GB RAM. Win7x64 and latest Catalyst drivers 12.1)

It means the latter. Can you switch to EVR and see what it reports? Or, you can also install ReClock which will tell you also accurately to the thousandth your refresh rate.

I have a card that operates very close to perfect refresh rates - it will stay around 23.97602Hz. If I do something that bottle-necks my cpu, the decoder queue will drop, and madVR will report dropped frames.

Likewise, I can force a refresh rate below the frame rate - say 23Hz refresh rate for 59Hz material - and even though all the queues will be full, madVR will report dropped frames.

I'm pretty sure it's just the number of dropped frames, regardless of why they were dropped.

Right, it's either, I misread the question. I thought he meant the "dropped/repeated frames every xx seconds" display.

The latter only indicates the amount of abnormal events (like the frames that are dropped and delayed when you switch from windowed to fullscreen exclusive and vice versa).

For example, when I play a 24fps (not 23.976) film on a my monitor at 71.93hz I get one dropped frame every 40 seconds or so (which is perfectly normal as it is the only way of fitting 24fps into 71.93hz) and I can even see it with my own eyes. madVR does indicate "1 frame dropped every 40 second" but the stats below show no dropped frames (unless I switch from windowed to fullscreen or something like that).

One thing I also noticed is that the "X framed repeated/dropped" sometimes takes a long time to find the right value (sometimes it will keep changing until it settles on the correct value).

It would save some bandwidth.
Power users may have 7zip installed. But many "normal" users don't, so I think I should better keep using zip for better compatability. Probably once I reach v1.0, I'm going to offer an installer package which then can use a better compression algorithm.

It does seem a bit odd. Do you have Aero/Desktop Composition enabled? What happens if you disable that?

FWIW, "use a separate thread for presentation" is off by default.

Confirmed its not happening with 079 (presentation glitches do not increment at all) on the same gpu.

I also noticed that with 080 an aero message shows in the stats (2nd line) that is not there in 079 when using identical settings. Is that normal?
Are we talking about exclusive mode? Anyway, if you didn't get that Aero message before and now you get it, something is weird. What happens if you tell madVR to disable Aero/Desktop Composition? Does that fix the dropped frames?

Then it brings it down to 4 and it starts dropping frames every 5 seconds. On top of that the refresh rate frame drop/repeat calculation is never steady and goes from seconds to minutes to hours and back to seconds. This is on two different computers with two completely different configurations in terms of CPU, RAM, GPU, and GPU RAM.
Well, if v0.80 doesn't work well for you, you can go back to an older version. FWIW, I'll probably drop the automatic CPU/GPU queue size stuff and always default to 16/8, while still allowing you to modify it. The refresh rate calculation should be quite steady. The frame drop/repeat estimate is just that: an estimate. I always said that you can't fully rely on it and that it takes a loooooong time to calm down. Just ignore it, if it never calms down on your PC.

Well, then just go back to an older build.

What should i be looking for when i press ctrl-j? I don't really understand a lot of what im looking at but would appreciate some pointers...
Thanks
Important things to check are the refresh rate (it should be a clean multiply of the movie frame rate, e.g. for Blu-Rays you should ideally use a 23.976Hz refresh rate) and the information about dropped/repeated/glitched frames. If you have dropped/... frames then your CPU/GPU is too slow to keep up with the content and settings you've chosen.

If so how?
Well, if the movie is encoded that way and you just want madVR to "pass it through" to the display, then that should be possible, but you'll probably need to setup a custom resolution for Full-SBS. If you mean that madVR should automatically take any Blu-Ray movie and convert it for you to SBS, or if you mean that madVR should send any 3D content through HDMI 1.4 as "frame packed" then that's not supported yet. Currently madVR does not know do anything 3D specific.

You may have to activate deinterlacing first (ctrl+alt+shift+d), then switch to film mode after that.

Is there any you would be looking into ease of playback on Nvidia's hardware in the future? Or is the current code already designed to suit everything as well as it can? Thanks.
I don't think there's anything I can do about NVidia glitches. From my point of view it's a clear NVidia driver issue. All those funny tweak options for avoiding glitches, plus the D3D10 presentation path are things I implemented just to help NVidia users avoid those nasty glitches. I've spent weeks developing all that stuff. I think the only way forward would be to convince NVidia to fix the problem in their drivers. For that I'm planning to create a demo project (with full source code) to demonstrate the problem to NVidia without needing madVR. Maybe with the help of that NVidia might be willing to fix the problem. That demo project will take some time to develop, though.

With the release version with above enabled the render and present queues gradually drop and don't recover. After a short time lip sync issues appear. I enabled the debug mode to get a log for you, however while the render and present queues drop they actually recover so its impossible for me to get you a log of whats happening in the release build.

This is not happening in 079 and I also have no need to use 'overshoot max frame latency' to get stable playback with the previous version. This is something that started with 080. I also noticed that with 080 an aero message shows in the stats on the 2nd line (composition rate) that is not there in 079 when using identical settings (I do not disable aero for playback). Is that normal?
Can you please test whether the issues go away if you tell madVR to disable aero for playback? That would prove that aero is causing the issues. The big question is why you get aero with 080 while you don't get it for 079. It might have to do with a fix I implemented in 080 to work around aero not recognizing a new refresh rate quickly enough. In order to fix that I sometimes disable and reenable aero. Might be that this fix makes problems in your case for some reason...

That sounds really weird. FWIW, the washed out picture sounds like a simple PC vs. video levels issue. These kind of driver problems is the exact reason why madVR tries to avoid DXVA if possible. We are talking about playback with DXVA deinterlacing, or are we not? Or do you have the same problems without DXVA deinterlacing, too?

Can you explain what you mean with "I can't use your ivtc" exactly? I don't understand what you mean. FWIW, one ivtc related bug in ffdshow has recently been fixed so you might need to get a newer ffdshow build. Also make sure that in ffdshow you disable the option "decoder options -> detect soft telecine [...]". And in "output" activate "set interlaced flag [...]".

Previous setup worked fine as well and the only difference there was the graphics card (GeForce 520) and I had CUVID enabled in the LAV video decoder settings (obviously I can't use CUVID now with my new Radeon card).

NOTE: My interlaced footage (from older camcorder) looks much better (smoother, less artifacts) with madVR and my Radeon (vs. madVR + the GeForce 520). My 720/60p GoPro footage looks good too so looks like just my 1080/60p content is an issue with madVR.
Please press Ctrl+J and check whether the decoder queue is near empty or full. If the decoder queue is full then your GPU can't keep up. If your decoder queue is empty then your CPU can't keep up.

With the same mpc-hc build, same GPU, same driver. Therefore I think, this is not a mpc-hc problem -> Downgrade to 0.79, trayicon is back.
That's weird. Does the tray icon not show at all? Or does it appear and then go away again? What happens if you manually double click "madVR v.80\madHcCtrl.exe"? Does the tray icon appear then and can you control the media player through that tray icon then?

True. Will be fixed in the next build. However, this comes with a catch: Older madVR builds "swallowed" every supported key combination. The next madVR build will not swallow any keys, anymore. That will fix the problem you reported. It will however also make key combinations work again in other applications, even if madVR is running. That can be a good thing or a bad thing. Probably the majority of people will consider it "good", though, so I decided to change madVR this way.

madVR can only switch to resolutions known to Windows. If you check the Windows GUI (not CCC), which refresh rates are supported exactly? Is it 23p? 24p? 59p? 60p? If Windows says 23p you can't tell madVR to use 24p. You need to tell madVR the correct name that Windows uses, otherwise madVR can't properly switch.

Also i dont have any droped/delayed frames or presentation glitches. I use mpc-hc, LAV, haali combination with madVR. If i run the movie with wmp 12 for example i get no judder at all.
Does this happen with every video you play? Or just with one/some of them? Which splitter and video decoder are you using?

A madVR log for Hancock might help figuring out why madVR doesn't switch.

Depends on whether your display is 1080p and whether you use any scaling/zooming in MPC-HC. In any case the chroma upsampling algorithm always applies because Blu-Rays are 4:2:0, so madVR has to upsample chroma to 4:4:4.

Back to 11.3 for me. FFdshow still shows 25.00fps and no luck. I am having limited success with Nvidia Purevideo decoders.

Not sure if Madshi can resolve this or not, but worth taking a look at. This is for SD DVD playback.
Why are you using Purevideo decoders? I'd suggest either LAV Video or the internal madVR decoder. Refresh rate switching depends on the decoder reporting the correct movie frame rate.

I disagree with Yamagata here. Maybe the file is badly muxed/encoded, but still, the h264 headers clearly say it's 30p/60i, so ffdshow reporting 25p/50i makes no sense at all. Maybe ffdshow can't be 100% sure about the frame rate. But even then, it's better to report what is in the h264 headers than to report a totally wrong framerate.

Reading the first 3 frames would not be good enough because frame timestamps are not always perfect. Furthermore, if I have to wait for a couple of frames before I know the correct movie frame rate then I have to start playback before I can switch to the correct display refresh rate. Which means that the display mode would change after playback has already started. That's not a good solution. It's better to change the display mode before playback starts.

But yes, in the long run I'm planning to let madVR watch timestamps and correct the refresh rate if it proves to be wrong. But this is a feature that will take some time to implement (properly), so it won't come very soon. In any way it would help a lot if all splitters and decoders did their very best to try to report the movie framerate as accurately as possible. And ffdshow is currently not doing that. I'll talk to Yamagata about that.

I have two questions:
- Is there anything else I can try to improve performance? Note that I'm using CUVID for decoding.
- If not, what's the best option between using 10-bit for chroma and luma, or disabling dithering?
Going to 10bit chroma/luma isn't nice, but less damaging than disabling dithering, IMHO.

If you get a crash with the next madVR build (v0.81) you can send me a crash report and I'll see what I can do. More about this new feature in the v0.81 release notes.

DVD playback is not officially supported yet. I'm aware of the Macrovision problem. Honestly, I don't know why DVD playback sometimes works. I thought it wouldn't work at all, in Windows 7. But I haven't really looked into it too much yet.

I'm disabling and reenabling Aero on the fly when switching resolutions in v0.80. That was necessary to make Aero aware of the changed refresh rate. In older versions I did not do that and then often Aero was using an incorrect composition rate.

Anyway, it seems that's side effect of desktop composition disabling/re-enabling added to madVR. It happens quite often, but I haven't found a way to reproduce it anytime I want.

There's another thing that puzzles me. With the help of AutoHotkey and simple script found on their forums, i made two executables for turning Aero off and back on.
One disables composition and waits for closing the message in order to re-enable it:
Code:
DWM_EC_ENABLECOMPOSITION:=1, DWM_EC_DISABLECOMPOSITION:=0
DllCall("Dwmapi.dll\DwmEnableComposition", "UInt", DWM_EC_DISABLECOMPOSITION)
MsgBox, Aero should be off. It should turn back on when 'Ok' is clicked.
The other one disables Aero and immediately re-enables it:
Code:
DllCall("Dwmapi.dll\DwmEnableComposition", "UInt", DWM_EC_DISABLECOMPOSITION)
DllCall("Dwmapi.dll\DwmEnableComposition", "UInt", DWM_EC_ENABLECOMPOSITION)
Although the latter one prevents taskbar from auto-hiding (I must execute it twice to have taskbar hide), it never causes disappearing of Firefox's control buttons. Not to mention the first script have no negative side effects whatsoever.
Interesting. But I can't let madVR users close a message box everytime madVR switches display modes... So what else should I do?

No, I'm using dwmapi for disabling/reenabling desktop composition, too.

madVR is not optimized yet for 24p on 60Hz playback. I'm planning to look into this in a future version.

The movie is usually 23.976 progressive which is then flagged with repeated frames (pulldown) to make it comply with the DVD requirement of 29.97. MediaInfo is smart enough to ignore the repeated frames and report the true FPS on the film parts. However, MediaInfo is designed for files that are consistent for the entire file, which DVDs are not.

Madshi, is there a way for MadVR to detect this from the .vob file while playing. Right now the solution is to enter 1080p24 for auto refresh rate. Some of my rips are at 29.970, so 24fps will not work.
DVDs are sometimes not encoded consistently. They may be encoded as 29.970 at the start and then later they switch to 23.976, or vice versa. So doing what MediaInfo does does not really help much. It's also possible that a 23.976 movie has a video mode intro (e.g. the D-Theater intro is video mode!). Or it's also possible that a video mode DVD has a movie mode intro. You just can't rely on a quick check. The only proper way is to constantly check the content and react whenever the content changes. This is planned for a future madVR release, but it's very difficult to implement correctly, so it will take some time...

To be honest, I don't even know for sure what the graph means exactly.

Do you have the option "overshoot max frame latency" activated? Does the problem go away if you uncheck that option?

That sounds quite interesting. Can I have a sample, or maybe even a couple of samples?

Just a thought, but it's a little annoying to watch a transport stream be perfectly IVTC'd by madVR, while being forced to use slow filters that eat up CPU for encoding.
FWIW, madVR currently uses the CPU for IVTCing (unless you run madVR in "video" deinterlacing mode, which uses DXVA). I do plan to move the CPU IVTC algorithm to the GPU sooner or later, but for now it was easier to implement it on the CPU.

The problem with encoding is that you'd need to move the frames back from GPU RAM to CPU RAM, which isn't very fast at least on AMD machines. Well, maybe fast enough for encoding, but then, is it faster than doing everything on the CPU? I'm not sure... Anyway, for now my focus is on playback, only.

That sounds bad. I'll double check the 0.80 changes to see if one of them could explain the problem.

Correct. There's a different communication technique necessary between decoder <-> renderer for DXVA decoding to work, which frightens me a little bit. Also I'm a bit worried about how to deal with the media player being moved from one monitor to another, when using DXVA decoding. But it should generally be possible to do.

You're talking about the PotPlayer OSD or the madVR OSD? There's not much I can say about the PotPlayer OSD.

Weird. I rather guess it has nothing to do with madVR at all, probably just the HDMI driver changes modes somehow when entering exclusive mode. But I don't really know. Anyway, I don't see how I could possibly do anything to change this behaviour because madVR isn't doing anything audio related.

That sounds weird. Maybe the GPU lowers the clock after 15 minutes because it thinks full clock is not needed? I've no idea, just a wild guess. My first guess was a heat/hardware related problem. But then if a straight video player restart (without big delays) fixes the problem for another 15 minutes, heat/hardware related issues seem less likely. Have you tried installing newer drivers?

madVR itself does not support brightness & contrast adjustments at the moment. If you use "Auto Selection", does PotPlayer then use madVR or a different renderer? If PotPlayer manages to change brightness & contrast with madVR then it's PotPlayer doing all the work. So if it suddenly stops working it can't be madVR's fault because madVR doesn't support it atm to start with.

The logs files are mostly for myself to read. They contain lots of information only I can understand. If you want you can look into them. But it doesn't make much sense for me to try explain them. It would take years to explain it all. Some things in the log you may find out for yourself, but I'm not sure how useful it would really be. The main problem is that the logs are so very big. So even if you did understand some of what's going on there, you'd still have to find the exact place in the log where to look. So better leave them to me.

In EVR and VMR exclusive mode you can't get a context menu at all. And Haali doesn't even offer exclusive mode. The only renderer which offers you to right click in exclusive mode is madVR. So it's clear that the other renderers don't suffer from the same problem, because they don't offer what you want to do with madVR.

I have 1080p 60 hertz fixed LG plasma and nvidia gtx 590. I am searching maximum quality for 720p Tv show playback.
If your CPU is fast enough to scale and run LSFMod in real time then you'll probably get a sharper image that way. In the end try both and let your eyes be the judge.

So I got the basics: FFDSHOW latest/MPC-HC latest - and madvr .80.

Not only did I experience the 'lipsync' issue I saw others discussing - I also get a hiccup during playback - the one file I have been using to test this on is Planet Earth Episode 1.

There is no artifacting or tearing - it just looks like what you would experience if your hardware were not up to the job.

This bothered me - so I did some trial and error. EVR and EVR Custom both did the same thing. EVR Sync worked perfectly.

I installed madvr .73 and .79 - both still had the issue.

I installed my old .34 - no problems!

I looked through the changelog for a version a little newer than 0.34 that had subtitles - I settled on 0.50.

0.50 worked too - no hiccups.
Could you please try to find out which exact version broke things for you? Of course you can continue to use an old version, but you'll miss out on all the new features and improvements that I already implemented and will implement in future versions. So it might make more sense to try to find the cause of the problem.

That sounds weird. Try disabling deinterlacing in LAV CUVID, then when playing the video with madVR, press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+D to check whether deinterlacing is turned on. If not, press the key combo again to turn it on. Does that help?

Do you have an ATI or NVidia GPU? With NVidia GPUs you get PC levels for custom and PC modes, and you get video levels for SD/HD modes. The solution is to create custom resolutions for all modes you need, then you get PC levels everywhere (you can still switch to video levels in madVR, if you need that).

The new mode was meant to be universally (much) better than the old one, and I think for most ATI users that's true. The problem is that NVidia drivers are flawed. They don't like the new mode much, especially if the movie framerate is lower than the display refresh rate (e.g. 25p movie content on 50Hz display).

Bitrate should have nothing to do with which exclusive mode you're using.

Windowed mode or the new full screen mode don't have this problem at all.

I can't recall when it started happening though... Switching to JRiver? updating nVidia drivers? updating madVR/LAV?...
There should be no lipsync differences between the 3 modes. Not sure why that happens to you.

The refresh rate information should be pretty exact. The estimation about how many frames will be dropped/repeated per minute/hour/day is nothing but an estimate for your information and takes audio clock deviation into account. Since audio clock deviation is very hard to measure (the audio clock jitters like crazy) this estimate can't always be fully trusted. What really counts is that the actual "dropped frames" stay low.

Probably you're lucky and your audio hardware clock deviates just in the same way from the ideal timing as your video hardware clock does.

I should have replied to all posts (needing a reply) since v0.80 release now. If I missed your post, let me know.
