madVR - high quality video renderer (GPU assisted)

Not if you decide to let madVR handle the switch, which is advised as more precise than Kodi's method.

How should it work?

I didn't manage to figure it out, but I found a workaround using mpc-hc built-in cgi feature, if anybody is interested: http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?...postcount=2164

Madshi, can you add a new keyboard shortcut for toggling (enable/disable) image doubling? (it would be nice if it could remember its state)
Thanks

Curious on what is up here:
I recently bought a new cpu/mobo, which in terms of benchmarks yields about double synthetic results, but when it comes to madvr I'm overall getting worse performance...
I7 920 2.6 to i5 4690k@4.4ghz

Before I was able to use image doubling > super xbr with super-xbr chroma upscaling and jinc/lanczos everything else.

Now I cant even use image doubling or I'll get 50ish rendering speeds. I AM upscaling to 4k, so it is obviously harder then 1080p, but I could do it before and not now.

I am using the latest madvr release, and the latest mpc-BE release.(32 bit cuz 64 bit literally wont launch for me...)
Nvidia latest driver, gtx 970.
The dx11 mode option also crashes the player now, which might be the issue...

That sounds like a chipset, GPU, or other driver problem, I assume you do not have any monitors plunged into the motherboard's video ports?

It is most likely unrelated to madVR.

[huhn]

you can't run mpc-be x64? that sounds like a serious issue with your system.

Probably software problem. CPU upgrade won't impact madvr performance in most case though.

If I can't use NNEDI3 as for the moment in windows 10 .


What would be the other suggestion for Chroma upscaling,image downscaling,image doubling,image upscaling ?

for the moment my guess and from reading other postings the best one with image quality is

Chroma upscaling - Jinc + AR
Image Downscaling - Lanczos + AR ( Should I need AR and SLL ? I read here that it's not needed ) http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?...1&postcount=22
Image doubling - I have no idea what does what I am lost in this one. does NNEDI3 work here or not at all ? Should I use NEDI instead with more neurons ? only on LUMA or anything else will improve performance on 720p ?
Image Upscaling - Jinc + AR - does it need AR ? Does this guide explain this and all else ? http://wiki.mikejung.biz/MadVR#madVR_Overview in a good way or some things aren't right ?

I am truly trying to read but there is no way I can possibly know I am comparing the right way and doing the right thing. I want maximum quality for 720p and 1080p.

I can't select taps with this options, I don't know why either.

I don't like the image quality , at least I don't really know what should be better. Chroma Upscaling NNEDI3 really had a difference in 1080p and 720p. I have no idea why you keep saying it's not, I've seen it. I can't find any guide to show me what is better comparison to the NNEDI3 because if it's by quality order means NNEDI3 is last is highest then Nedi would be better than Jinc and so super-xbr and Bilatreal.


How is NNEDI3 vs Nedi , Super-xbr ? it seems they are relative with their stats in the madvr when you select them. ( Sharpness , hide source artifacts etc )

Hi. I'm looking to madvr profiling. Does exist a switch that allow to enable a profile if the laptop is running with ac plugged or battery? I'd like to set a lighter profile when I'm running on battery only.

jinc 4 and 8 have been removed because they are pretty bad. same for lanczos 8.

first of all it doesn't matter what a guide says you have to find what looks best for you there a reason this forum doesn't allow to ask for the best because there is no answer.

do your self a favor and didn't read http://wiki.mikejung.biz/MadVR#madVR_Overview

i don't know who write this but he is missing a lot of points and the part of DSR is just that i guess...

in the end the guide should be your eyes.

I've found my best which is NNEDI3 , but it doesn't work, as a first alternative if someone know from their tests the quality of NNEDI3 can be reached from using from other thing then this is what I want to use. if you say that NNEDI3 is same as something else that what would be easier to use it ? the question is what about upscaling image and not just chroma.

[huhn]

did i missed the reason you can't use 353.49 needi3 work with these driver under win10

Do the "right" settings depend on the output device? Can I use the LCD monitor to find the best settings if I watch movies on the projector?

[huhn]

in theory when the picture is nearly untouched on both. reality looks different.

and screen size/seating distance is different too.

i wouldn't do it this way

New Nvidia drivers out today, one set for Win 10 and another for the other Windows versions. I'm back on Win 8.1 now, what are the chances the new driver will break NNEDI3 the way it's broken in Win 10? Or is that strictly a Win 10 problem?

[Magik Mark]

NNEDI3 still not working in the latest nvidia driver v355.82 Maybe madashi may want to take a look on how it was implemented in MPDN

[Akeno]

For those wanting to compare the different scaling options in madVR, refer to this post by madshi. This is strictly for image upscaling but you can use it as a guide for picking the chroma upscaling option as well. I personally can't see a difference between chroma upscaling settings so I've set that to bilateral (uses the luma channel as a guide) or bicubic75 in the past.

Is it possible to optimize BD rips specifically for madVR? madVR is good at dithering and de-banding and whatever else. Is there a way to use that to compress rips even further without quality loss? I am talking about specific quality settings that can be reduced/lowered/compromised SPECIFICALLY because madVR can "offset" them if you know what I'm saying. That means its not just about lowering bit-rate.

I heard of some professionals creating small HQ rips with excellent quality, often beating higher bit-rate quality rips of much bigger size. These pro's do use advanced settings when creating rips and I THINK they adjust settings per-film, depending on content.

I don't think this is the place to be posting this. MadVR could offset some damage done by low bitrate of course but you're still going to lose detail. This really is a trial and error test on your part.

This means to add a 'forceVendor' String (REG_SZ) with a value of 'nVidia' at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\madshi\madVR\OpenCL , not a key.

Hi,
I tried this method, but it didn't work. Nothing like "Geforce GTX 960M" showed up. How do I make madvr use the 960M instead of HD4600?
(W10 64, newest driver for both GPU, Jinc3 & xbr).
Thanks in advance!
