Any reason why 64bit-v3 doesn't work?

I placed it in a folder called MPV in the C Driver, opened a file with it. But SVP will not detect that MPV, even when I set an "Apply If" media player and choose the directory path.

Maybe it's just the 64bit-v3 that has this issue?

EDIT: Same thing with the regular 64bit version, downloaded the October 1st version. Set it as the default media player. But SVP doesn't recognise it.

Does it have to replace the MPV in the SVP folder?

Hoping SVP + Vapoursynth 64 also get it sorted in the next couple of months, when combined with RIFE.

Is there a chance? Or should I switch to MPC? Haven't used MPC in years.

Is it still MPC + Madvr (for upscaling) + RIFE now get the best quality?

Btw Dolby Vision works fine with these configurations for me, but the problem is when RIFE is enabled, I start getting bright flickers happening and blacks becoming gray:

It takes 3 to 10 minutes for every aspect ratio change, depending on hardware. So just wait for it.

ONLY the first time of each aspect ratio.

So, what I usually do after a PC format for example is go to a movie or tv show folder, and just run randomly, one at a time, and leave them in the background while I use the internet.

PS: I wish there was ONE video that has all the aspect ratios, that one can use + combined with cut black bars from SVP together to just let all of them build. Is this something that someone can make? Run each aspect ratio for 1 minute then change. A 720p video, a 1080p video, and a 4K video, of just a white/black no audio aspect ratio changers.

Thank you @UHD for all that detailed analysis and what can be done for the future.

Loved reading it.

It has different artifacts, although minimal the vast majority of the time (compared to prior methods). However, when they are noticeable, like in the beginning of the movie AIR that came out recently (scenes with a lot of noise especially), they are very heavy and noticable. Or the HBO (static) background at the start of GoT/HoTD/etc

Once there is a working model, there should definitely be a new thread for it. But I feel as though that is a while away.

Wishing @UHD luck with his proposal.

He will post when he is ready. No rush, take your time.

Doesn't matter, because it does not use nVidia Optical Flow.

NVOF can be used outside of RIFE, but it's not as good as RIFE. I was using it before switching to RIFE after I got my RTX 3090.

I didn't even do side-by-side, the moment I upgraded and played the first video, I was like what am I looking at it lol Good to see it confirmed in pictures though above.

I don't think it's a worry anyway, since SVP Devs likely knew the issue and that's why SVP still runs with v1

Like I said before, quality and smoothness of RIFE is pretty much unmatched right now. Personally, the only improvements I want to see from hereon is for artifact masking.

For the ones above, after testing yesterday, the quality with RIFE that comes with SVP is better than the v2 I updated to via the links above.

Current RIFE with SVP shows less artifacts for example on intros when names are showing up, and smoother overall.

rife_V2 is creating artifacts and the quality seems to drop as well on 4K content looking like 1080p, at least with my MPV settings.

Forgot to back up my vsmlrt.py and had to remove RIFE and add it back. Now picture quality and smoothness is back to being better.

By the way @Chainik, if it's possible to add a fourth option under maintenance called "Check File Integrity". So, it checks all the SVP files and replaces them with the default ones from SVP. Overriding any changes we make to RIFE or MPV folder, etc.

Great write-up @UHD thank you for the details. Appreciate it and I will look at the links in detail later today.

I noticed with the current version with MPV there are still some artifact issues that I hope can be handled better in the future.

For example, within the film Tenet, around the 35 minute mark the texture on the clothes has bad artifacting.

Tried to capture it here, link will be up for 24 Hours only. Source is 4K Bluray Remux of the film:

Also, after the 11th minute mark there are artifacts on the antennas at the back of the boat as it travels on water:

Not sure if versions above have fixed such issues, but it would be nice to have improved artifact masking.

Really appreciate RIFE, it is by far the best motion interpolation method I have seen thus far.

EDIT:

I backed up, then replaced the ones you linked with the ones inside (C:\Program Files (x86)\SVP 4\rife\models\rife), but it did not work. I will wait for the update via the app.

Do the versions from the study correspond to the ones we use? I assume not.

The scientific study is up to version 12:

Oh fair enough.

I had it for working for like 1 whole day with SVP + Optical Flow, I forgot which configuration I used. But the colours were not washed out, and everything looked fine, except for the flashing (dolby vision flashing was always there).

I think as mentioned above in the github, the flashing probably happens because in the middle-generated frame the brightness/colour data is lost compared to the real frames and it causes a flash.

As for flashing outside Dolby Vision, I fixed all of that by disabling VRR from the LG Game Optimiser Menu (turn off GSync and Freesync), as they both cause flashing in low brightness (dark) scenarios. This has been a problem for years with OLED TV's and VRR.

I haven't tried it in over a month. If the issue is fixed where it takes so long to open a 4K file, then I would use it without hesitation.

But the loading issues always put me off.

EDIT:

OKAY WOW THE DIFFERENCE IS MASSIVE!

Even at double the FPS (48FPS) it looks better than anything else at 120FPS.

It is worth the loading time and seek loading time when forwarding and moving back. Artifacts are minimal too. And now I wish my RTX 3090 could push 3x or 4x the framerate haha!
