i just swiched from XP(SP3) 64bit to Vista 64bit and Windows 7 64bit, i never had a real big problem with this renderer, but now on Vista 64 and Windows 7 64 i get this Macrovision Fail thing everytime i try to play one of my many DVDs(NTSC and PAL)
is there a workaround for this or do i have to switch to another renderer? thanks and ciao thomas |

It could be that on the 64 bit versions of Vista and Win7, the protected media path allows only signed components to be loaded during playback (so that nobody could dump the video stream). That would make it impossible to use unsigned components (like ffdshow or madVR).

I hope that madshi will correct this problem ifnot madvr will be useless now and maybe even in ten years because It doesn't exist one monitor well calibrated in the world without hardware calibrator (ie deltaE<1 for all colors). Maybe i nten years it will be different but not today. Quote:

how big is your .ICM file? probably it contains a LUT already...I never really bothered w/ the Lacie software, coz ARGYLLCMS does a finer job anyway..and ARGYLLCMS is fully compatible w/ any video renderer except Overlay.

last time I played around w/ some color management app from X-Rite it gave the option to create 1D LUT ICC files. I'm surprised PowerDVD is color managed and will take the simple ICM file in account ?! anyway, play around w/ ARGYLLCMS it's much more accurate and works perfectly fine w/ any video renderer(except Overlay...but PDVD uses VMR9 anyway, last time Jong checked anyway ) atm I use a LUT in ARGYLLCMS to fix my CRT colorimetry, then ddcc() in ffdshow to convert gamuts w/ HR.

You can edit the templates in madvr cr3dlut folder. What are exact rules which template is used and when I don't know but I presume it is resolution of the video among other things. ikarad, I use display calibration as well and madvr works fine with it (Coloreyes Display Pro), it has a special lut loader on windows startup so I guess it is not dependant on Vista's ICM support. Just saying so you know it is not all black and white. |

Found a small bug with the installer. Running install.bat as admin fails to register madVR. You have to run install.bat as a regular user, then click yes to the UAC warning. I'm on windows 7.
madVR is working except if you... pause video > resize > play... it crashes. I'm guessing that's been brought up already, just thought I would mention it. Keep up the good work |

About supporting YUY2... I've just been using the really excelent DScaler5 MPEG2 decoder to playback some TV shows. By default, it outputs YUY2, and the video looks truely dreadful because some grotty little default video renderer gets loaded in place of madVR. I finally worked out why madVR wasn't loading and I've set DScaler5 to output YV12 instead (BTW, how exactly is YV12 better than YUY2?).
I was thinking madVR being fed with YUY2 is still better than the alternatives being fed with YUY2. If madVR could support YUY2, and perhaps display an on screen warning message for 10 sec or so. Would that be a good idea? |

I think current implementation is more reasonable. |

I didn't explain it before though, it is an explanation by madshi, so you have to look it up in one of his monster sized posts If you want to get some proper understanding about colorspaces, you may try this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YUV |

I use the Unofficial 1080i IVTC version of Dscaler5 MPEG2 decoder to perform IVTC on TS files - it's the only decoder that finds 23.976fps in the 29.97fps stream. To get around the YUY2 thing I run Ffdshow after in the filter path - Ffdshow outputs YV12 to madVR. It may not be ideal, but it works, and you can play with ffdshow filters too |
