Hello!

Now I installed Catalyst 11.10 and SVP 3.0.5 again, and the situation a bit changed:

- I don't know why, but I couldn't get SVP work together with madVR. If at the installation section I choose use madVR by default, the SVP not working and cannot get working with any settings (Waiting for ffdshow video...). Even if I change the output to EVR custom, SVP not working. If at the installation I just select register madVR but leave the other option at default, SVP works (arrow changes to green when starting a video). If I change to madVR, SVP cease functioning, even if I set ffdshow video decoder at external filters with merit "prefer".
- Now, I saw at least one movie which works perfectly with SVP so thank You. Every movement are fluid and great to see the movie like this. Only a few artifacts with default settings.

But. Othert movies are still suffering from stuttering effect and SVP claims about high CPU load. I'm wondering how it could possible. I set number of threads according to Core I7 setting and OpenCL setting has a tick by default (so it uses the videocard, right?). Is my rig not enough to play all 1080p movies with all SVP options default?!

Please help what to change:)

Here are 2 text logs and 2 screenshots of 2 movies. One which is working (The Day After Tomorrow) and one which not (Crimson River).

The performance graphs may vary, because I stopped the videos few times. On the first screenshot, I made it AFTER playing the video but it still shows what You may want to know.
The 2nd screenshot made during playing the video.

I hope You may find out what the problem is. According to the forums, some other users could experience fluid movement even with lower hardware.

Thanks.

Hello again smile

It should work fine on your hardware, so post here some extended info:
1. "Show" -> "Additional information" text log and
2. screenshot of "Show" -> "Performance graph" while playing 1080p video

Thanks Chainik!

I'll post that information later today, when I'll be at home:)

Hello Guys!

I have a problem with SVP. I hv downloaded the latest version to give it a try, but 1080p video playback "stutters" it seems that the hardware is not enough.

My rig is: Core I7-960 (no OC), ATI HD 6970, W7 64bit, Catalyst 11.9.

Settings in the profile section did not help. 720p videos are just fine, but 1080p videos are not.

Any idea?

A bit more info:
I used the default installation of SVP 3.0.5. No other player and/or codecs were installed on the 32 bit side (I already have an MPC-HC in the 64 bit side, with it's own settings, but without any codecs). 64 bit and 32 bit settings are independent from each other as far as I can see.
So it was an SVP 3.0.5 installation to a clean machine.

Thank You all!
