This is like MPC-HC's handsome brother. I like it a lot! I just have one minor request: can you lock window resizing proportions to video aspect ratio?

This probably isn't the appropriate thread for that request. Getting VLC or MPC-HC/BE to support it would be more likely, since they already have capture support.

Will put that into my todo list.

Hmm I just realised hosting files on Dropbox will cause Chrome to complain it is malicious!
So I'm now hosting the latest version on my own website (zachsaw.com). I'll need some hosting space for the older versions, anyone cares to sponsor some?

I have problems with black screen in MadVR but MPDN works quite well, thanks for making it available! Looking forward to further development...

Ordered dithering and experimental*** 10-bit output support are in the pipeline.

*** I don't have a card capable of 10-bit output, so this will be highly experimental as it is completely untested!

all card since nvidia 2xx and amd 5xxx should be able to output 10 bit on a direct x "fullscreen" surface. and I don't think there should be a way without this. of cause professional cards can do it with openGL.

edit: program crashes when a file with ASS subtitle is load but no vsfilter is installed. I only tried the 64 bit version.

and about 10 bit is there a way to see if the player tries to send a 10 bit I think RGB "picture to the GPU?

I highly doubt my TV is 10 bit but I can send it 12 bit RGB and it except it.

shouldn't 10 bit dithered RGB look like 8 bit rounding on a 8 bit screen. ok there is a chance my screen can use dither too... not easy to test without a 10 bit screen.

Can you get the stack trace for the crash?

Re: 10 bit support, my check for A2R10G10B10 always fails on my GTX560 (on a C++ test app):
PHP Code:
Direct3DCreate9Ex(D3D_SDK_VERSION, &d3d); // create the Direct3D interface

if (FAILED(d3d->CheckDeviceType(0D3DDEVTYPE_HALD3DFMT_A2R10G10B10D3DFMT_A2R10G10B10FALSE)))
    return 
false
If anyone could give me a hand on how to actually get 10-bit support on my GTX560 I'd appreciate it! (EDIT: Apparently, even MPC-HC says my GTX560 has no 10-bit output support)

To find out if it's 10 bit enabled, get the player to show stats (ctrl+J). If you see "High bit depth output enabled" then it is 10 bits in FSE mode.

IIRC, you need at least DirectX 10 for 10-bit output. In this day and age, using DX11 for that is probably the best course of action.

Has anyone ever got mpc-hc's 10 bit output to work? Their sync renderer uses d3d9.

and ask him he looks like the best person to ask about EVR.

not happing after I uninstalled the x64 bit version from xy vsfilter. does your player save the crash dumbs some where?

It doesn't really work, no. Its extremely limited and only works on very few GPUs - and if it actually outputs 10-bit later is questionable at best.

As of DX10 its actually part of the standard, and all GPUs should be able to do it.

Can using Media Player .NET potentially solve the black screen problem for 7/8xx GPUs using madVR?

I just noticed I missed that part of your question.

10-bit dithered isn't the same as rounding to 8-bit. Rounding to 10 bits, you get quantisation error of 1/1024 whereas in 8 bits it's 1/256. Dithering in 10 bits will give you better perceived quality than plain 10 bits output. Concept is the same as dithering in 8 bits but you do it in 10 bits. If your monitor truly supports 10 bit output or more, you should not need to enable dithering at all (although ordered dithering should get you even closer to the intended colour).

Ah, 10-bit output requires NVIDIA workstation cards. No wonder it didn't work. Good news though, my old AMD HD4530 supports it. It's now been tested and will be released in the next version.

However, with my old AMD card / driver, it only worked the first time after system reboot and subsequent init into 10-bit mode will cause video corruption. If you could try it out and report back (i.e. whether you have the same image corruption problem when you go back into FSE mode the second time), I'd appreciate it. To find out if 10-bit mode is enabled, go into full screen exclusive mode, and look out for the line "High bit depth output enabled" on the player stats. Oh and make sure you enable high bit depth output in the options first.

EDIT: The corruption was a driver bug. I switched drivers and it's working now although sometimes getting in and out of FSE mode still fails (just have to try going windowed/FSE mode again and it'll be fine). Overall my experience with AMD drivers hasn't been the most satisfying.

Strangely enough, MPC-HC's internal renderers says the same card doesn't support 10-bit output mode.

RE: Crash dumps. No unfortunately it doesn't save crash dumps yet.

Not sure what you mean by solve the problem for madVR but a few posts above said he's not getting the black screen problem on MPDN as he was on madVR.

I developed it under Win8.1 64-bit.

Make sure you have the correct version of DX9 installed (Jun2010) -- Quick guess: it looks like you've put a 32-bit dx9 dll in the folder haven't you?

10-bit output mode

Strangely enough, of all the GPUs I've tested, only the NVIDIA cards do not support 10-bit output mode!

Intel HD Graphics 3000 corrupts all DirectX displays (including DWM) after exiting from the 10-bit FSE mode. This is on the latest drivers (Apr 2014).

The AMD HD4530 runs great in 10-bit mode but on some drivers it may also get image corruption in subsequent initializations into 10-bit FSE mode.

I'd say that 10-bit output support is in its infancy at this moment for all the 3 major GPU vendors. In light of that, I've left the option unchecked by default.

nope normal cards can do 10 bit with DX 10-11 too.

anima123

looks like the same error I got
are you trying to play a file with subtitle?

Thats the unsupported DX9 mode, give it a whirl in DX10 or above, it should work much better.

Thanks Zachs, that's exactly what the error from. Now I can use your player on playing back of video files, except for .wmv files, which generate another error.
