Thats normal, and perfectly correct this way. You should not see 0-16 if your TV is setup properly. If you select 0-255 output, madVR will expand the 16-235 range to 0-255, and 0-16 and 235-255 are lost. But this is OK, because most movies are 16-235 (and if it detects a file is full range, it'll change its behaviour - the test patterns are obviously not marked as full range, or it would defeat their purpose)

Although My experiences don't verify this. There a blu-ray files that suck hard, and only reach dark grey for which I have to compensate. But most reach black or very close to it. |

It didn't help: there's nothing else eating CPU while I'm playing videos. There's always 10-15% of CPU eaten by MPC-HC, and sometimes something within that cause a red graph spike - that's when I have dropped frames. Green graph doesn't change.
I guess that if I can't find an idea, I'll end up trying the old "Windows XP approach" by formatting and starting from scratch... |

@ryrynz : I don't like this player, but I tried Potplayer with MadVR and also got dropped frames. It's actually worse, even though I used the same filters and configuration...
But there's no "red graph" spike with Potplayer, so I'm beginning to wonder if there really is a link. I'll try MPC-HC with EVR Custom Pres to see what happens with the CPU graph. EDIT : Well, the red graph does happen too, and I think I got dropped frames (don't know how to be sure with EVR's OSD)... Last edited by Nya_Su; 28th June 2012 at 20:00. |

Might not change anything but if you haven't set process priority above normal in MPC, give it a shot. It's located in the main page of Player in the options. Does the red spike still occur if you play off a flash drive? Also do the frame drops still occur in exclusive mode?
Which splitter are you using? If you're not already running LAV filters I highly recommend you grab it. If you're still having issues in MPC then try changing the CPU and GPU queue sizes for madVR in Potplayer and see if you can't get those frame drops sorted as it's not plagued by your CPU spike issue your drops could be related to your madVR config. Also look at your flush settings, changing 'flush & wait (sleep)' to just 'flush' or even setting all options to 'don't flush or 'flush' for testing. Even though you might not find Potplayer to be as comfortable to use getting a working system on that may be the easier solution right now until you can figure out where your CPU spike issue lies, just remove as much from the equation as you possibly can. |

@ryrynz: changing the priority of MPC didn't change a thing. I would have to try the flash drive thing, since I always play videos from one of the secondary (non-system) disk. I remember trying exclusive fullscreen mode (don't like it) and it didn't change anything.
I'm using Haali Media Splitter as I need "ordered chapters" support, except in some rare cases of files with TrueHD audio. And I'm using LAV filters. Changing CPU & GPU queues doesn't change anything. When changing the flush setting, there is some change: dropped frames happens (way) sooner when everything is "don't flush'. But I have yet to find a combination that lasts a whole movie, and I'm beginning to wonder if it exists... |

I have a couple of questions about madVR.
Any input appreciated. |

2. It's ok, but exclusive mode is recommended for better presentation. 3. You must find out yourself what you prefer. And what content do you watch. I personally use chroma: Catmull-Rom luma up: Lanczos 3 luma down: Lanczos 3 For low resolution content I recommend softcubic 75/50 Search this thread there were some nice comparison. 4. It's your decision. Last edited by kasper93; 5th July 2012 at 16:20. |

Unfortunately I have a choice in W7x64, no madVR or no DXVA. |
