Actually the video is 720p60 3D. Do you still need it? If you do can you or somebody else tell me how I can find the movie SSIF and m2ts files and their matching clip and playlist files? Right now I either play the full disc in PowerDVD or simply open the index.bdmv file in ZoomPlayer which actually plays one of the .mpls playlists but I don't know which are the corresponding m2ts and SSIF files.

You can find the matching clip and playlist files with eac3to. If you're not sure which is which, simply copy all clip and playlist files. Zipped up they're just some KBs.

Spoke to soon on the 2nd Issue - here is a log: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...20-%20log3.zip that should show playback in D3D9 no D3D11 (3D) mode with some seeks where post seek you see a bit of SBS then it goes into a std 2D image.

I think this is also related to my observation of "If move or right click the mouse to go into madVR settings and more often I get a visual effect like when leaving "Exclusive" mode" is actually it falling out of 3D to 2D

Also - I did my testing with JRiver's display rate changer off.

Other than missing 10bit support.

thats the point. If got a 10bit Oled display, so 10bit support would be nice.

Or you disable the OS & NVidia 3D checkbox. Instead activate all the checkboxes in the madVR 3D settings page, so madVR can activate the 3D OS mode only exactly when playing 3D movies. Or does that not work for you?

i'll check that...

You must have more options than Bilinear if you are using NNEDI3 64 for 1080p -> 2160p upscaling. I would start at Bicubic and work my way up.

Also, use ordered dithering in place of error diffusion. And turn off debanding if the source is 10-bit uncompressed. You must be using processing resources on other settings that aren't needed for 10-bit 4K videos.

I can't get 3D to work with MPC-HC latest and MADVR...is it because I'm using Windows 7?

It's win8.1+

Does AMD Crimson now works properly with MadVR?

I'm still using the last AMD CCC (15.11.1) with the Latest MadVR, and everything still works properly.

[evil-doer]

Im having a very different problem than everyone else. Since .90, madvr has been crashing my display driver, often non recoverable. Where I need to hit the reset button because my monitor turns off.

Im not sure exactly what settings do this, it seems to be many, but also it seems to be random. Just when I think ive got every feature turned off that does it, another video I run crashes.

When I start one of these videos I see no picture, the sound starts playing, then a line or two of pixels in the middle of my monitor blinks as everything freezes. Then the monitor turns off. A few times the driver has recovered, but mostly its unrecoverable, needing a reset.

Im not even using the 3d feature, that is turned off.

My card is a 290x running latest driver. OS is Windows 10 x64. Player is PotPlayer. Only non native codec Im using is madvr.

I dont have madvr set to change any resolution or anything like that either, and the player starts videos in a window, not fullscreen too. Been using madvr for years and never had a problem until now.

I've got build 63 of Lav (today's nightly) and 0.90.3 of madvr.

Things are awesome in MPC-HC. Stuff is working great and looks great. What I thought was an eye swapped problem before turns out to just be me being an idiot so that's all good. (Checked on 2 movies and both are correct. obviously more testing needed)

JRiver MC21 is a bit of a different, albeit weird, story. When I play my 3D mkv's in MC21, they're 2D. Until, that is, I move the mouse and bring up the OSD for the player. Then it pops everything into 3D properly until the OSD hides, then back to 2D. WTF? LOL I won't have time to mess with it again til this weekend but I thought that was rather peculiar.

Did you try the latest beta version?

But maybe we're lucky and a small change can help.

I understand.
Thank you for the effort.
If I can help in any way (logs, testing, etc.) just let me know.

Can you link content where it "fails", also is it real world content?

[Warner306]

Can someone tell me how HDR content mapping works when display calibration controls are disabled. What color gamut and gamma does madVR map to?

16.1 is still using a terrible bob deinterlancer.

Crimson works fine with MadVR AFAIK. If you want 3D on AMD with MadVR+LAV, it's the only option as there is a bug in Catalyst which prevents proper 3D depth when there is motion in the shot.

The only problem with Crimson is when/if you want to have at the same time MadVR and other software like PowerDVD. Unlike with Catalyst, there is no option in Crimson to select the dynamic range independently from the pixel format which leads to issues (even using 3rd party utilities like RadeonMod).

Plus Crimson clips whites above 230 in 3D with PowerDVD (not with MadVR as far as I could see, but I haven't checked that specifically).

Thanks but the issue isn't with MadVR (although I didn't check for this in 3D), it's with PowerDVD that Crimson clips above 230 in 3D, so the MadVR levels won't have any effects on that. I'll revisit when MadVR+LAV support BDMV+SSIF for 3D as I don't have the time at the moment to re-rip my 3D collection to mk3d.

Also custom levels in MadVR don't solve the issue with Crimson being unable to specify a dynamic range different from the one set by the pixel format, which also causes issues with non MadVR software (unless you're ready to use RGB Limited, which isn't ideal for MadVR). Hopefully other people will complain to AMD (I do every time a new version of Crimson is released) and they'll bring that back.

hm.. I don't have an 3D HDTV neither other software (I only recognize MPC+MadVR as my Movie Player ) plus I only watch Progressive Content Movies so I don't need any kind of deinterlacing.

Hm.. seems it's logical to use Crimson now

As posted on the JRiver forum, I have the opposite.
- 3D is fine without any OSD present, and also when using the the Theater View OSD at the bottom that appears when using the RC keys, but
- Drops to 2D when accessing the the Std View menu at the top when you move the mouse have hover around the top. As soon as it appears then it immediately goes to 2D but with the madVR saying it is still in 3D. It does not recover when this OSD disappears. 100% Reproducible for me.

Thanks

I get an error in the upper left corner that says something like: Could not read display mode. It only happens if I disable FSE. AMD control panel crashes and windows behave very strangely and I will have to restart.
