madVR - high quality video renderer (GPU assisted)

[Klaus1189]

@huhn: What setup do you have now?

[huhn]

the same as before the PC just switched places.
my current windows PCs are these two:
3700x with 1060 32 gb ram win 10
5600x with 5700 xt 32 gb ram win 11 20h2

the 5700 xt is most likely going to stay with me for much much longer.
the 1060 was supposed to be replace for 2 years now with a ~200 euro sub 150 watt HDMI 2.1 nvidia card which will not happen anytime soon. maybe a RDNA 3 time will tell. if the RX 6500 XT wouldn't use a 4x interface i may got myself one but that's a bad idea with madVR.

Zoom black bars away seem to cause PC crash reboot, RTX 3070
MPC-BE
D3D11 full screen exclusive
Newest nvidia drivers
MadVR 0.92.17
Win10 64 bit
CPU I7-8700K

GPU temps seem fine, hardly 50% GPU utilization

Edit:
Could be associated with heavy processing settings and related GPU spiking.

Edit 2:

high quality settings + seeking => GPU power spiking

Could be then PSU not capable of handling the requested power draw?

I have a EVGA Supernova 750 G2, 80+ Gold 750W PSU - should be enough for RTX 3070

[Klaus1189]

What OS?

[Noobius]

Win 10 64 bit

So it isn't about zoom black bars away per se but I guess that functionality adds another taxing operation on top.

While having high quality upscaling & downscaling settings in place + seeking or e.g. loading a 2160p file causes spiking for the GPU leading to power spikes => crash.

EDIT:
LOL I have 3 PCs and the one with RTX 3070 installed has a BE QUIET 400W PSU not 750W

Seconded. JRiver now has its own renderer developed by Nevcairel/Hendrik, under active development, and it has everything I personnaly need for my LG C8 (mainly : quality algorithms, framerate matching, HDR passthrough). Only downside is its truly AWFUL UI, but I can live with that.
I only use madvr with my Win 10 install for my projector, because it works.

hello,

Is there a way to read in 3D (bluray 3D or MKV mvc) mpc hc + madvr in Window 11?

It worked fine in Windows 10...

LAV Filters installation probably.

I just installed libmfxsw64-v3.7z in MPC\LAVFilters64 folder (H 264 MVC 3D).

I have the reading in 3D :https://forum.doom9.org/attachment.p...=1&d=166911220

But in full screen (when I follow on the video projector) it does not display in Frame Packing 1920x1080 24Hz ...

It worked fine in Windows 10...


Edit:
Is not the problem with HDR, my video projector and screen 2. (Currently it is not connected).



The problem is when it is plugged in.

Another bug with Windows 11: More in "display modes" "custom modes" ...

[vanden]

I have the same problem with just the projector (only screen).

With my projector I need to manually set the projector to the appropriate 3D mode

My projector is already set to 3D Frame Packed 23.976 fps...
PowerDVD 19 (64-bit) and StereoPlayer 2.5.1 works fine...

EDIT :
Has anyone tested with Windows 11 22H2 and can tell me if it works ?

[dead_seth]

Hello everyone.
I have so many dumb questions to ask...

I have an AMD RX vega64, an LG 27GP850 (1440p hdr400) monitor, and most of my movies are on 1080p

1.Im gonna change my gpu. Is it better an AMD6900XT or Nvidia 3080 to max out madvr?
2.Whats the best settings for my setup?
3.I combined madvr +Lavfilters + potplayer. Is that the best combination?

Thanks.

Personally, AMD has some issues with their card, see the driver thread but most wont experience these issues but it depends on your setup, how your movies are encoded / how your TV is setup and what type of TV you have, right now I think NVIDIA is the best bet, a 3060 would be best for most people i'd say as you have diminishing returns when upscaling 1080p stuff, it generally looks good on very low MADVR settings to most eyes so you dont need loads of raw power.

I use an amd RX5700, its got enough grunt for me and I see no issues when using KODI DS for 3D MVC SDR and HDR movies, but i'm aware others do have issues.

See this thread for all AMD issues:



https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=176013

PS: I mainly use AMD as it still has baked in 3DMVC support and fully supports 23,976 with zero frame drops for days, you can get this with NVIDIA cards but you need to create custom resolutions and it can be a faff for some people.

During playback I am encountering a couple of pixels grouped in a horizontal row together flashing neon green during video playback, when they don't flash the picture/scene displays perfectly fine. I will post screenshots later when I get a chance, but in the meantime does anyone have suggestions on what settings to check that may be causing it?

I'm running on a Windows 10 PC that has an Optimus Intel HD4000 series GPU with Nvidia 680M as well. Unfortunately the Nvidia drivers haven't worked for some time (I think either a Windows update or Intel driver update started the problem, and trying to revert to previous driver versions for both Intel and Nvidia have not fixed the issue to let me use the Nvidia GPU for anything in Windows), so I'm stuck running on the Intel GPU.

[el Filou]

Is it always the same pixels?
Try to change the decoding method used in the video decoder (DXVA/D3D11 native; DXVA/D3D11 copyback), or the presenting method of madVR (D3D11/D3D9).

Hard truth is that madVR is abandonware and has been for a while. As much as I like this software, it's time to let go. Any development is in DTM area which directly contributes to madVR Envy and even this is progressing very slowly. Last madVR release was 30 Sep 2018 and since then there were only DTM test versions, which introduced regressions on its own (crop, smoothmotion and so on). madshi were teasing subscription model for madVR, but this never happened, clearly it is not a priority. And frankly without it, don't except any real development, bug fixes or new features, that were added to Envy like NLS. Obviously, there is no business incentive to port (enable, coz it is mostly the same codebase) them to madVR in current state.

Move on... it is not 2013 anymore.

You should be using mpv with gpu-next (libplacebo). It is easy to use, you really do not need full GUI to adjust few player settings and OSC is good for all playback related controls. Or JRiver if you prefer more.
What do you mean? mpv (w/ libplacebo) supports Dolby Vision, HLG, which madVR does not and doesn't look like it will anytime soon ...and uh upscaling is also supported. Notably libplacebo is superior to madVR it almost every way, more future complete, modern, open source and cross platform. It has better performance, better customizability, film grain synthesis on GPU, tonemapping, frame blending, all color managment stuff. You name it... I think only madVR feature that is missing is dynamic crop, but this is also little broken in recent madVR test build.

I will not convince you to switch, but to be honest your time would be better spent reporting mpv issues/requests, than complaining about lack of madVR development here.

How can I see Dolby vision? MPV doesn't do much, where do I get the libplacebo?

i've had a go at MPV as well, its great as a chuck anything at it player but having no on screen controls or gui accessible settings out of the box means its just not an option for most people, I just cant be arsed to invest in the time required to put into this to get anything more out of it, it really needs a more user-centric version, even something as basic as the MPC builds would be a start.

@x7007: gpu-next option
But this thread is not adapted. Try this one.
