Make sure you have your license key handy.

The best thing you can do at this point is to not crop at all and instead, in MPC-HC, right click on the video area and select "Touch Window from Outside" and making sure "Keep Aspect Ratio" is checked.

Then from there use the pan & scan function to move the video down/move your viewing area up (you can change the keyboard key for this function in MPC-HC's options fyi).

I can't consider it life when it mpv's method of configuration literally (not figuratively) causes me headaches.

Though really it should only appear when launching a video and not any other time.

Perhaps disable automatic black-bar detection?

ICD 7 is one of the best

I have that and I can only recommend it for high pressure mounts, like desktop aftermarket coolers or AMD's stock clamp bracket; laptops, not so much.

Another thing one can do if the laptop is out of warranty, if this is one of those derpy "modern" designs that lack an intake vent, you could take off the bottom panel of your laptop, mark where the panel lies directly above the fan, and then drill holes within that marked area.  Alternatively you can make a big hole and then glue pantyhose stocking material, modders mesh, etc over the hole

Your PC is way more than enough for 480p content, even if it was 10bit.

Basically you could "max out" SVP's settings and still not even get close to hitting the limit of your system.

Really then you might as well just set everything to maximum (except artifact masking) and then experiment with the following two settings because they will directly effect the artifacting:

SVP Shader
Motion vectors grid

(though for anime, you don't really want to use any shader settings other than "Sharp" or "Complicated")

Also, with such high settings, you may need to increase the amount of processing threads that SVP uses (currently it's "automatic" selection is not great) because otherwise you can get slow performance while still only using like 30% CPU utilization; you want to use the smallest amount of processing threads possible that still gives you a perfectly smooth result.


A couple other things to recommend that are not exclusive to anime nor SVP but can still help:

If you use MadVR, set SVP to use your Intel integrated graphics while your Radeon 390 is used for MadVR.

Also use MPC-HC's or MadVR's automatic resolution changer (may require the use of custom resolutions) to automatically set your screen refresh rate to an exact multiple of the source video frame rate (because 24fps playing back at 72Hz is smoother and has less artifacts than 24fps playing at 75Hz).

If there really is a mess with drivers, then the usual recommendation is to run DDU - Display Driver Uninstaller and then re-install your GPU drivers.

now I have to test without SVP which is pure torture.

Can't you just manually seek to a few seconds before the end of a video and skip the torturous viewing of low-framerate content?

Alternatively, you could intentionally find some native high-framerate content.

Uhhh... SVP 3.0.6?  Is that I typo?  I say this because that version is nearly 5 years old....

If that wasn't a typo, then one must ask why you're not using SVP 4 or at least version 3.1.7?

The obvious thing to do is completely close SVP (via right clicking the tray icon) and see if it still happens.

If it does, then it's something with the media player, not SVP.

I've mentioned it before and I'll say it again - there need to be more screenshots comparing the pro and free versions on the product page or something.

Reclock is not necessary if you use custom resolutions or similar to run your display at an exact multiple of the source video framerate combined with MPC-Hc's automatic resolution changer, thereby allowing you to run at something like 47.952Hz for 23.976fps but also 48.000Hz for 24.000fps or similar.

In my experience, 64bit MPC-HC & SVP works relatively fine if you don't use the crop and/or up/downscaling setting(s) in SVP.

Let me guess - you were looking at a 1080p OLED?

Even the newest 1080p OLED uses a 2 year old panel design (the EG9100 uses the same panel as the EC9300).  That was only like a 2nd or 3rd generation OLED TV and there's already been 3 successive OLED generations; by comparison the 2016 OLED TVs are very much in a class of their own relative to any other currently-available TV technology.

Even if it was 4k, it was most likely the EG9600 model which itself is still 2 generations old (18 months).

Also, RGBW is not pentile - pentile means that you have less than 3 sub-pixels per "real" pixel (such as RGBG across two pixels).

Using updated LAVfilters helps quite a bit with lowering the CPU utilization for decoding.

I don't know about nowadays, but 2 years ago decoding HEVC in software used about the same CPU utilization as did decoding VP9, and I've been running 1080p VP9 videos through SVP for quite a while now without any hardware decoding...

SVP works regardless of the video codec.

Support for the video codec is purely determined by the media player, not SVP (which is separate from said media player).


Really the biggest issue is that, last I checked, the MPC-HC (and therefore LAVfilters) that is bundled with SVP is kind of outdated...but honestly it'd be silly to update it until the next version of MPC-HC comes out because it should be released any day now.

This reminds me, I think it'd be more useful to end-users if they could see the actual options and stuff that are a part of SVP 4 Pro.

In other words, more screenshots!

Correct me if I'm wrong (havent tried free SVP in ages), but SVP Pro also gets your vapoursynth/mpv SVP. It's more efficient, as I can use smaller (smoother) block sizes than I can with regular SVP.

But be aware that setting up mpv to automatically change your display refresh rate is a massive pain unless you are well capable of handling coding, command lines, or similar.

Don't forget about the "Complicated" shader!  Some content (particularly those with thin moving lines) it gives horrible artifacts, but on high-res content and higher frame-rate content the results can be glorious.


Also, the Pro version (or just SVP 3.1.7) is a must-have if your PC is on the weaker side because, in such low-performance situations, SVP's automatic settings selection prioritizes smoothness too much over minimizing artifacts.

Hmm... I might consider then. That being said, truth is my computer is just barely good enough to run SVP at the max setting on the slider

That is as it should be; the values set by the slider is relative to the performance of your system.

In other words, on a single core Intel Atom, the maximum setting on the slider is going to be way worse than if your PC used an i7-4790k.

2. Selected Intel HD 2500 as GPU acceleration (yes, I know it cannot do 1080p ...), SVP loads, no more error but stuttering like hell obviously since Intel graphics are not up to the task.

I just want to clarify that this is less an Intel issue and more a GPU architecture issue seeing how Haswell's iGPU can handle SVP perfectly fine (even lower-end models like my Pentium G3258).

But SVP loves "moar cores", so AMD's currently lower IPC shouldn't hamper it's performance much at all.

No, i canceled the "48Hz mode" and set the "47.blabla mode".

I was just theorizing things, don't worry about it.

Oh, BTW, when you put in the 47.952Hz mode, did it actually list it as exactly 47.952Hz?  Sometimes it can't actually run at exactly that so it rounds up; the problem is that it doesn't always round to the nearest and in such cases it's better to actually manually input the nearest value.

For example, on my laptop, if I input 48.000Hz, it rounds up to 48.006Hz, but it turns out that it will keep 47.998Hz without rounding and that is closer to exactly 48 than 48.006 is.
