Hey First class Lieutenant.welkin aye...
Iam maybe the answer to your prayers
I have SOLVED my issue that is somewhat similar to yours.. ie. dropped frames... and SVP keep turning on / off inlike berserker mode ON/OFF !!!!
I knew the settings had to be screwed up , because and i said it in my previous post... I have watched whole movies without an hickkup using SVP the first time i started to use IT...
But i might have shot myself in the BIGfoot by experimenting with different settings in mpc-hc and other external apps !!
Now... these are the steps and settings i currently use
First settup MPC-HC ← , that wos the cullprit in my case !!!
Check the filter section and check if you have the following in the exact order... Yep the order in which you enable those external filters too (have learned it the hardway)... even though you cannot prioritize the order in mpc !! unless u delete it all again !!!!
now... check this out..
1.LAV Audio decoder
2.Lav Video Decoder ← This one... for SURE
3.FFdshow Video Decoder
4.FFDshow raw Video Filter
Done and done
now for MadVR setting... realy that doesnt matter to me... what ever setting i choose everything just keeps playing nice with eachother .. the cullprit in my case where those lav decoders not beeing present and in the right order !!!
but ill post my setting anyway ..
MadVR setting
Processing:
Decoding = unchecked all boxes
Deinterlacing = unchecked all boxes (since i use FFDshow for filtering = more filters to play with ) Also, i think if you set XX times an deinterlace filter they might conflict with eachother .. not sure .. just tryying to play safe...
Scaling Algorithms:
Chroma upscale = Jinc , 3taps, Active anti-ringing
Image Upscale = " dito " + Scale in linear light
Downscale = default (catmull-rom) for the time beeing..
Rendering General setting:
Enable Auto exclusive screen = V checked
Use seperate device for presentation = V → checked
Cpu Queu size = 22 → slightly higer
Gpu Queu size= 14 → " dito" :D
Window mode setting = default
Exclusive mode settings:
Show seekbar + Delay switch + present frames in advance = V → checked
How many frames you might ask = 8 :D
other settings beneath = default
Smooth motion is = V Checked + Always
Trade quality boxes = → All ← UNCHECKED
I have spent litteraly hours searching for the root of this phenomenon !!!! And all i had to do is to check the external filters in the first place !!!
But then again.. The system specs are important aswell..
What is your system specs Lt. wilkens...
my KEWL system specs are:
System:
Windows 7 x64 SP1+
CPU = AMD PHENOM II x4 965be@4.0Ghz / 1.400v = 47C° Load / OCCT
Liquid-Air cooled = Kuhler 920
RAM = DDR2-800 (pc6400)
GPU = HD7950 Sapphire OC (Factory Overclocked)
SSD = Kingston KC300 / 240GB
PSU = OCZ 750 WAtt / SLI
Hobo= MA3N32-MVP Deluxe
And i can even MAX out NEAR everything in SVP and still have SMOOTH playback
Settings such as → Complex Shader algorithm, decrease grid step and Motion vectors grid are very CPU/GPU demanding no kidding here !! Like CPU load of between 70-80% when everythign is maxed out .. AND THAT IS WHIT THE ADDITIONAL HELP OF my POWERFULL NEW GPU HD7950 card !!!!!!
Else my cpu would drown probebly
FTW SERIOUSLY . yEAp .
Done and Done... → no more dropped frames for me nor SVP going berserk with its on/off mode !!!
OH OH .. AND BIG README EDIT THIS:: After all is said and done ... maybe good to take an BACKUP of ur SETTINGS in mpc-hc for starters ..
Cuz you mentioned earlied that you didnt quite knew for sure what the settings where back when it played just fine Lt.wilkens...
Ill sure will do...
Cheerios..
