heartog

can you provide a small sample of that clip?

hi, for me is " Uniform (max smoothness) " and " 23. Complicated ", these provide max smoothness at cost of artifacts. Lower settings on those options provide less artifact but less smoothness that can be noticed depending of the person. Maxed all settings for example wont free you of zero artifacts, you have to toy there to make something balanced between decent smooth with tolerable artifacts. Less smooth means less artifacts, more smooth means more artifacts, that's the price.

sorry bad English.

Updates 3/2/2014

1- Main post updated with Basic settings to make PotPlayer ready for SVP. It gives performance / quality.
2- Extras and SVP settings are still W.I.P. and I will update them in times.
3- Advanced settings for Nvidia users, Creative Sound Blaster Sound Cards, optional Windows settings ( Audio / Video recommended settings ), personal test on some file types like mkv, mp4, DTS, TrueDTS, BDAV, etc. Users with 5.1 speakers setup and more will be on Extras.

If need help with things that are about this Guide only just let me know. Thanks

Hi Maken,
Will your guide be applicable to PotPlayer Portable? I'm asking because installation method uses different directories and scattered dll files all over the place.
I'm trying to keep all my apps portable for easy copy/paste situations.
Happy new year everyone!

Hey orky87 how are you?
It should be fine with no problems, only you need is that your PotPlayer version(s) are updated I mean if it have same settings that are needed for this guide to make all work.. then ok.

@onlytannmoy
Thank you
.................................

I uninstalled all, downloaded all again to last versions: PotPlayer ( with updates if available ), ffdshow, svp, audio drivers, video driver and more. Thing I recommend all the time, ok maybe its boring for some peoples but no way its better keep doing that.
I can see it now, PotPlayer looks different, also some new options for say something so I need to change some screenshots. Something I liked is the sound is much better than before, I said it before thing I love more from watching movies and more is the sound, then I have speakers, sound card and best drivers? and my personal configuration after hours of testing until feed my needs. About performance well yes maybe the same or a little better and remember im still running in an old system and that's the good if it runs good then for you peoples with better and updated hardware will be.. you know .

The most important thing I want to make clear is the option that SVP is giving to you all with their pack and my guide is up to you, its not about which one is " better " or not Its about tastes and of course both have better stuffs than the other don't have, its good that way its for different needs. SVPs pack comes with all you need and other Player and I give you the choise to try PotPlayer + SVP + my personal settings that's all. One of those will give you what you need or is best for you and that's something you must find out yourself.

If this work for good at the end, a thanks will be enough and If you want to help me get better hardware it will be welcome too. If you want to know something about SVP only you must ask to the experts " SVP Team ". You must ask me things that are about to what is shown on my guide, I will answer if im able and if im not, im sure SVP Team will help as they were doing all this time.

I want to Thank to all peoples who contacted me in any way to ask/share their experiences about how much this helped them, worked, enjoy and more. Also I want to say Thanks to SVP to still keep this alive.

Sorry bad English.

Hi everyone, long time ah? and sorry for that. its a long history. Thanks to all for your patient and "likes". I need to uninstall all, install all again with the new versions svp/software and test again. I noticed some new stuffs on actual PotPlayers but as I can see some settings for my Guide will still remain the same for me so no need to change all screenshots unless if I considerate something to be change / updated.

PS: ahh I forget to say Thanks to Rimsky,MAG79 and so for help the ppls while I was not here and still keep this alive.

Sorry bad English.

Hi all, main post > EXTRA section updated with a Fix for my Guide for native 60 fps Video / Movie.

PC Specs:

Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 overclocked to 3.9 Ghz, 4 GB DDR3 with overclock and latency 7-7-7-24, 2x Nvidia GeForce EVGA GTS 250 1Gb in SLi and Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 usb.

Extras:

Nvidia Drivers 314.07.
Custom video color settings.
MSI Afterburner.
Optimized custom Audio Drivers.
Windows 7 x64
No SVP.

Samples:

space_60 . I found this sample here but i dont remember in what thread sorry ask to SVP Team where its in case you want to try it or if you have X 60 fps contents already on your PC. I also tested with others videos / movies and it was the same final results.

This is my Default Guide ( on the first page > main post ) + space_60 sample

Notice the framedrops :S.

Ok here now 2 options i found to fix that, so try and keep the one works better for you.

1- Option 1
Fallow this settings:

Result

much better and the video end without stuttering / framedrops / freeze. No problems now, all smooth.

2- Option 2 Nvidia Users , keep in mind your Nvidia GeForce must be same or much better than the one im using for best results.

Fallow this settings

Result

much!!! better and smooth.

Just in case you dont need to use SVP for native 60 fps Videos / Movies. Anything less than native 60 fps then SVP is the best as simple as its.

Post your results here would be good.

Greetings - Maken

Hi Maken,
I have a problem. Suddenly when I play a movie, my CPU usage is shooting to 97% and my GPU usage is only 4%???
I didn't change any settings.
The only change I made was patching windows so that I can use independant Visual Styles and I started using IconPackager. I don't see how any of these 2 should matter?
I have currently uninstalled everything. Do you have an updated guide for the new version of SVP?
Thanks

Hi Zachn, how you been?

But what settings, player and settings are you using ? your pc specs ? the specs of the movie / video what is causing your high cpu usage ? best way to find the problem is check if is there X settings is causing the problem. I dont know if the " IconPackager " is causing the problem, id never tried it. In this case maybe is something missing. Please try to give us more info to see if we can find the problem.

Not yet, all this time i was working about Sound and a fix for my guide to play 60 fps videos, i noticed that when i try to play X video or movie that comes at 60 fps i have framedrops even if the cpu is not max usage, but i fixed it. I will post all of that here this week.

Greetings and sorry for the late answer.

All samples as you can see at 1920x1080 or 800 with high video bitrate, more of this will be post later and also new test / settings will be on EXTRAS option as i said before so keep an eye on that. If you can post your results , would be good and help me on my work, if you like SVP and PotPlayer support them and also me if you like.

Thanks for you time, greetings.

Great to see you back in action Maken, to be honest I'm super exited to see your new guide hope it all goes smooth for you.
Thanks for your work and effort.
All the best.!

Hi all

Thank you for that really, that motivate me much more. If im honest im slow with this because my recover and also some work, very hard in this moment to me get new hardware upgrades ( expensive ). Also Games haha im gamer and cant resist the temptation of try some games and mod them graphically, that takes much time too.

The new SVP and lastest PotPlayers are much better than before so i still keep my tastes for those only. All im planning to upgrade are minor changes i think its only about it, im not saying that Media Player Home Cinema is bad no no no, its very good too, its just about tastes. Its almost the same guide its just that i removed and focused more only to the things that i considerate are the best for this combination of PotPlayer + SVP, in other words my point of view / experience and of course limited by my PC capabilities.

All new things that i could discover will be in one important section call EXTRAS,this Extra will keep options / settings to enhanced much more X things ( more about this later ). Because there is so much things i would like to say and show to all of you based on my experience with this, i will try to resume and do this as simple as i can, mostly with screenshots for easy understanding and set up.

Greetings to all and sorry for the bad english

Old 2012 Guide 2.0 for the moment here

Makens PotPlayer and SVP Guide 2.0

Hi all, this is my personal PotPlayer config and SVP Custom profiles that i want to share with all of you to see if this work as good as it does for me.

First than nothing say thanks to SVP Team for this application and support them if you can, they are doing a hard and great work for us.
English is not my natural Language, i speak and understand much better Spanish but i can read English so my problems becomes at the time of writing..sorry for this i hope no one get ofended or something like that for anything bad i can write, IF SOMEONE LATER ONCE I FINISH MY GUIDE WANT TO HELP TO CORRECT AND TRANSLATE BETTER THIS IT WILL BE VERY APRECIATE.

Before start please keep this into consideration before use my Guide:

1- This part is dedicated more for mid range and powerful PCs, Highest / Extreme image Quality ( my personal settings and recommended shaders ), custom settings tweaked especialy for PotPlayer + SVP + my personal SVPs custom profiles as recommendation for test your final results using my Guide and see how it work .
2- Im giving support for PotPlayer only because is my favourite Player, in fact is the best, im not saying that is the best on the planet but for ME it is and more after tried alot of players that at the end were good ( in X cases ) but not as good as PotPlayer was giving me on my very limited and old PC . You can use Media Player Home Cinema its very good!! as well, i think apart of PotPlayer its the best as well but is not my fav and guides about it you can find easy so i will not for now give recommendations and settings for it, again this is only for PotPlayer + SVP. I hope you can understand me.
3- This is more dedicated for NVIDIA users and yes i know why not ATi? simple because i dont have any ATi Video Card to test and no money for it, once i can get one later, then take for sure i will make some test and update this guide for ATi users .
4- Guide is optimized or based more on Windows 7, sorry no XP here i think its not need, Win7 is faster and good enough for any pc only if you find the way how to optimized it for your system.
5- Old Dual Core users are not recommended to use this Guide, only if you Dual Core users are in the same situation or better that me? then your Dual Core have to be much better than one Core 2 Duo E8500 overclocked at 4.1ghz , if this is the case then you can skip the old Guide that is for slower PCs.
6- GOOD OR FASTER MULTICORE USERS THIS IS YOUR PLACE! , YOU NEED ALL IT POWER TO RISE ALL YOU WANT THE IMAGE QUALITY AND SMOOTH AND KEEP SOME STABILITY FOR THE PERFORMANCE DROP.
7- Good / High Quality SoundCard users this is your place as well, im a lover of the sound i cant enjoy anything about watching movies or videos or playing video games if the sound does not make me feel that im almost there, i also like the music since im kid so i think i have a good ears to detect and config the sound for the best and extreme experience only if we have the proper hardware. So i will share with you my best recommendations for the ultimate sound experience while watching your fav Movies + SVP.
8- My personal recommendations for LCD LED TVs those with 120Hz or more users ( like me ) using PotPlayer + SVP. Of course we going to use SVP for Smooth only + my PotPlayer / SVP settings recommendations.

First steps i will show you:
1- All the necessary you need for complete this guide.
2- Installations.
3- My personal PotPlayer configurations.
4- Sound.
5- Extras. Note: my personal settings for High Quality and Extreme Quality for Video and Audio.
6- My personal SVPs custom profiles.

1- All the necessary you need
IMPORTANT: ALWAYS USE x86 versions! Even if you use a 64-bit OS.

1- SVP Lite 3.1.2 or better.
2- Haali Media Splitter 1.11.288.0 or better. Recommendation from RIMSKY.
3- MadVR v0.82.5 or better. ( portable version is recommended ).
4- The recommended FFDSHOW x86 versions provided by SVP or better.
5- Lastest estable PotPlayer x86 + lastest updates.
6- Avisynth v2.5.8 or better. Better use the ones provided by SVP only
7- Minimum required Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTS 250 512mb ( 1Gb recommended ), However, for best quality, a NVIDIA GeForce video Card 400 or 500 or 600 Series is recommended. AMD ATI equivalent can also be used.
8- Creative Sound Blaster Sound Card or better. This is obligatory if you want the best Sound Quality for your 5.1ch speaker setup.
9- Lav Filters v0.51.3 x86 or better portable version if you want. You just need it to be installed but not in use with PotPlayer, its better for MPC. Recommendation from RIMSKY
10- Windows 7.

2- Installation

Please install in this order:
(Note: if you can not see file extensions like "Install.bat", please google the following: show file name extensions windows 7)

1- Install PotPlayer x86 or better and fallowing this settings:

2- Install FFDSHOW x86 or better

3- Install Avisynth v2.5.8 or better ( only recommended by SVP ).
4- Install MadVR v0.82.5 x86 or better. In this guide I will use, and recommend, the portable version. If you use the portable version, create one folder wherever you want, and name it anything you want, uncompress the rar, copy the madVR vx.xx x86 Folder and paste it in the new folder you created.
Example i created the folder in My Videos and name it " External Filters for PotPlayer "
Now go to the madVR folder you just created and find " install.bat " file, Right click on install.bat and left click " Run as administrator " You may also have to run madHcCtrl.exe, and in tray icon settings, choose "Show icon when madVR is running on local PC"

5- Install Haali Media Splitter.
6- Install SVP Lite v3.1.2 or better.
Note: Q: why im not using SVP Full version for this guide?
A: SVP Full version works very good for those one that are looking for an easy install with all-in-one, then play and thats all. But i use the Lite version because im constantly updating for example FFDSHOW, MadVR, Lav Filters and PotPlayer everytime there is one new release about them, this also helped me to do a manual install and configure all to my own, something that im inviting you to do to see how it work and how it going
Note: Leave this for the end. First you need to setup PotPlayer, once its properly configured then install SVP to continue the guide and start to use SVP.

3- PotPlayer configurations

1- Launch PotPlayer, go to " PREFERENCES " ( F5 ), in " PREFERENCES " change " Built-in DXVA Decoder " to " Built-in Self DXVA Decoder " , there in General > General Settings > Tray Icon change to " Show with taskbar " and Click OK.

2- Playback any FullHD 1080p or 720p video or movie you have for a moment and make sure to see how much performance and low cpu usage you have. It can be any Clip from Trailers or Movies in mkv or any AVCHD, etc. Note: Remember you need a VIDEO CARD that supports DXVA for DXVA to work. Google: DXVAChecker if you are unsure.
3- Go to Preferences ( F5 ) > Filter Control > Built-in Video processing filter > Condition change to " Always Use ( Recommended ) ". Also make sure that " Use Audio processing filters " is enabled. Press " APPLY "..
4- Go to Preferences ( F5 ) > Subtitle and Disable " Show subtitles" . I prefer FFDSHOW to handle subtitles.
5- Go to Preferences ( F5 ) > Filter Control > Source/Splitter > Source/Splitter Filter > add " Haali Media Splitter " > Example of how to add Registered Filters:
I will add the registered Haali Media Splitter as required above and use it as Splitter(s) for some file types.

Note: apart of MKV and MP4, you can set it for MPEG2 TS, MPEG2 PS, MPEG 1 and AVI ( Built-in AVI Source/Splitter work good as well ). This is what you need to do anytime you want to add X registered filters and dont forget to associate them properly or you will cause much troubles later.
6- Go to Preferences ( F5 ) > Filter Control > Custom Filter Manager > Add Registered Filter > add " ffdshow raw video filter " then Click OK, it will be added in the list of " Custom Filter Manager " . There in " Custom Filter Manager " , select the " ffdshow raw video filter " then go to " Priority " set it to " PREFER " , Click " APPLY ".
While you are still there, in " Custom Filter Manager " , select " ffdshow raw video filter " and double click on it, now do only what is shown in these images:

Note: IS OBLIGATORY TO SET " FFDSHOW RAW VIDEO FILTER " AS THE IMAGES SHOWN OR SVP WILL NOT WORK.
7- Go to Preferences ( F5 ) > Filter Control > Video Decoder > .
8- Go to Preferences ( F5 ) > Filter Control > Audio Decoder > .
9- VIDEO RENDERER
Case 1:
-If your CPU is Dual Core and better with the specs / type / overclocking as i recommended for Dual Core users.
-If your Video Card(s) is less than NVIDIA GeForce GTX 470 for example. In the worse case something like me lol same or less than NVIDIA GTS 250 1Gb
-If you are using the Lastest Nvidia Drivers.
THEN do this:
Use MadVR as Video Renderer.
Settings for MadVR fallowing the Cases above:
1- Go to Preferences ( F5 ) > Video > Video Renderer > Video renderer change to " Madshi Video Renderer " then click " APPLY " .
2- Now lets configure madVR, the first thing you need to do is play any file, then pause it, go to the task bar, where the sound, network icons, etc are, and right click on the madVR tray icon, and left click on " Edit madVR Settings " and only change what is shown in the following images:
.
OK THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART SO BE SURE TO READ THIS: Please, " If your video card is older than a Nvidia GeForce GTX 470 or AMD ATI equivalent " then do this:

By the way take this in consideration:
-The CHROMA UPSCALING 'sharpness' or 'steps' setting can't be less than Luma Upscaling, and Luma Downscaling , this is my recommendation.
-The more Sharpness or Steps you use, the more Quality you get, BUT, MORE GPU CYCLES WILL BE USED, so make sure that your GPU is powerful enough to handle those high settings when combined with SVP. I recommend that you start with the values on the images at first, and later you can try more. Remember those higher settings will cost you more GPU performance.
-Scale in linear light on Luma Upscaling and Luma Downscaling will cost you a lot of GPU Performance so these settings are for powerful GPUS only.
-When using MadVR the video color settings from your video card drivers are not working, so if you want to use video color settings for your media you can set gamma with MadVR. You can set gamma,color and more with FFDSHOW without any problem, it will cost you some CPU usage depending of what settings and values you are trying to apply.
If your video card is Nvidia GeForce GTX 470 or AMD ATI equivalent or better and you still want to use / try MadVR then do this:

Q: Why NVIDIA GeForce GTX 470 or AMD ATi equivalent and not for example NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 come on i think its good righ o_O ?
A: Ok use NVIDIA GTX 470 only is not obligatory headache and for your economy, but because this is the High Quality Guide part, wee need something not so much slower because we want save all the GPU usage we can to give more Priority to SVP for more SMOOTHER playback using more settings on your custom SVP profiles that are more GPU demanding for any media type and if we can use some extra shaders to enhanced some or much more the Image Quality that means much better for your demanding eyes and tastes. You have to admit, if you are in this part of this Guide is because you want all the best smooth and image quality you can get right? at any cost even if your PC have to pay and cry to fill your hungry for QUALITY!!! and if you cant stand artifacts. Ok there is some Shaders that use more CPU than GPU and viceversa but both are balanced, both are needing.
By the way take this into consideration:
-The CHROMA UPSCALING 'sharpness' or 'steps' setting can't be less than Luma Upscaling, and Luma Downscaling , this is my recommendation.
-The more Sharpness or Steps you use, the more Quality you get, BUT, MORE GPU CYCLES WILL BE USED, so make sure that your GPU is powerful enough to handle those high settings when combined with SVP. I recommend that you start with the values on the images at first, and later you can try more. Remember those higher settings will cost you more GPU performance.
-Scale in linear light on Luma Upscaling and Luma Downscaling will cost you a lot of GPU Performance so these settings are for powerful GPUS only.
-When using MadVR the video color settings from your video card drivers are not working, so if you want to use video color settings for your media you can set gamma with MadVR. You can set gamma,color and more with FFDSHOW without any problem, it will cost you some CPU usage depending of what settings and values you are trying to apply.
Case 2:
-If your CPU and more in especial your GPU are POWERFUL enough.
-If you use the lastest Nvidia Drivers.
-Your CPU is powerful and well-overclocked ( if is that case ) and my GPU(s) as well, then you want to free all CPU usage you can for give more Priority to SVP for more smoothing playback, less artifacts.
THEN do this:
1- Go to Preferences ( F5 ) > Video > Video Renderer > Video renderer change to " EVR Custom Present " then click " APPLY " .
Note: When using EVR Custom Present as Video Renderer, the video color settings from your video card drivers work without problem so you can apply anything you want on it, it will also give you very high CPU performance but very high GPU usage ( much more and worse with older GPUs ) this can compromise a lot SVP performance at the end giving you annoying Smoothing playback with OLDER GPU only. As i said using it with lastest powerful GPUs it will ok.
2- Go to Preferences ( F5 ) > Video > do this:
3- Go to Preferences ( F5 ) > Filter Control > Built-in Video processing filter > Condition change to " Always Use ( Recommended ) ". Also make sure that " Use Audio processing filters " is enabled. Press " APPLY "..

4- AUDIO

Fallowing this settings only
-If your internal or external Sound Card is old.
-If your CPU is older.
-If you want more than normal Audio Quality.
-If you have 2.1 or 5.1ch speakers setup.
THEN do this:
1- If you don't have a Sound Card like Creative, but have just an Integrated Sound Card ( Realtek ) then do this:
-Set " Audio Renderer " to " Default DirectSound Device " and if you want to use the " S/PDIF-Out " then set " DirectSound: XXXX " where XXXX is the SPDIF-OUT of your Soundcard.
-If your Realtek Sound Card supports 24 bits then right after " Speakers " set it to 24-Bit or 32-Bit (real) and if this gives you audio artifacts, then set it back to 24 or just leave it at 16.
-If you have a 5.1 speaker setup for your PC I recommend you leave " Speakers " as " Same as input " this means that every time you playback a file that is in Stereo, then it will set your output to stereo, if the file uses 5.1ch audio, it will set your output to 5.1ch automatically. Now if you always want to listen to everything using your 5.1 speakers then change it to " 3/0/2+LFE - 5.1 channel ". However, doing this will cost you some audio quality ( if you have a good ear and notice such of things ), leave the Speakers output to the " same as input " as recommended by me ( no noticeable loss of audio quality ). If you have a 2.1ch speaker setup, then set " Speakers " to " Dolby Surround/Pro Logic ".
-Resample: leave it set to " Same as input (recommended) " ,I don't recommend you Resample if your CPU is slow or not. You will not notice much of a difference ( if you don't have a good ear for Sound ) if you do Resample, this will cost you more performance, especially if you do 96000Hz / High
Quality, but if you do have a good ear, and notice the quality difference with the Sounds, then try 48000Hz then 96000Hz and use the best for you. But keep an eye on your CPU usage. In my case leaving it set to " Same as input " sounds pretty good, if the file come with 48 then it will automatically use 48, if it come with 96 then it will use 96 and so on ( untouched means original Quality).
-Go to Preferences ( F5 ) > Audio then click on " Built-in audio dec.settings ", there UNTICK " Dymanic Range Compression ".
2-If you have a Creative Sound card, then do this:
-Set " Audio Renderer " to " your Creative Sound Card " and if you want to use the " S/PDIF-Out " then set " SPDIF-Out (XXXX) " where XXXX is the name SPDIF-OUT of your Soundcard.
-If your Creative Sound Card support 24 bits then right after " Speakers " set it to 32-Bit or 24-Bit real ( i recommend this one ) and if get audio artifacts then set it back to 24. See image for example.
-If you have a 5.1 speakers setup for your PC I recommend you leave " Speakers " as " Same as input " this means that every time you playback a file that is in Stereo, then it will set your output to stereo, if the file uses 5.1ch audio, it will set your output to 5.1ch automatically. Now if you always want to listen to everything using your 5.1 speakers then change it to " 3/0/2+LFE - 5.1 channel ". However, doing this will cost you some audio quality ( if you have a good ear and notice such of things ), leave the Speakers output to the " same as input " as recommended by me ( no noticeable loss of audio quality ). If you have a 2.1ch speaker setup, then set " Speakers " to " Dolby Surround/Pro Logic " See image for example.
Note: When i say possible loss of audio quality, I mean for example in my case I leave it as same as input & I hear all my files very good using the original output, but if I manually change the speaker setup to x/x/x+LFE - x.x channel ( where xs are the channels ) I can hear a little loss in quality, a little less details in the audio in some parts. I don't recommend or use them. I just use the x/x/x+LFE - x.x channel setup I recommended in case i want to hear everything on my Logitech G51 5.1ch whether the file(s) come with stereo or multichannel, except for that exception I always leave it as " Same as input ". You need to try for yourself to see what happens in your case, otherwise leave it according to your taste.
-Resample: leave it set to " Same as input (recommended) " ,I don't recommend you Resample if your CPU is slow. You will not notice much of a difference ( if don't have a good ear for Sound ) if you do Resample, this will cost you more performance, especially if you do 96000Hz / High Quality, but if you do have a good ear, and notice the quality difference with the Sounds, then try 48000Hz then 96000Hz and use the best for you. But keep an eye on your CPU usage. In my case leaving it set to " Same as input " sounds pretty good, if the file come with 48 then it will automatically use 48, if it come with 96 then it will use 96 and so on ( untouched means original Quality).
-Go to Preferences ( F5 ) > Audio then click on " Built-in audio dec.settings ", there UNTICK " Dynamic Range Compression ".
-If your Creative Sound Card supports " X-Fi CMSS-3D " then enable it in your Creatives Console Launcher / Entertainment and go to Audio > Reverb Settings and Untick this " Extended stereo sound " and " Extended surround sound ".
-Go to Preferences ( F5 ) > Audio > Volume control > AC3/DTS gain decoding and enable it and in " Gain quantity " set it to 1.0 dB. You can toy with this till you get the best audio for your taste but high values there will make your sound pretty noisy, and annoying artifacts. I mean the default setting of 20.0 dB is annoying.

5- EXTRAS

I will leave this for the end, my idea was create the main steps for start using PotPlayer + SVP without go insane with the Extreme and High Quality that could destroy or cause you much problems without set up SVP first. My recommendation always is keep you busy trying to adjust the most and basic steps to start to use PotPlayer, create some of compatibility first, once you are done adding it to your system, with all that free resourses that we want to give more to SVP first than anything, now we can work with SVP first and at the end if more Resourses are free then lets go Extreme .

Hey im thinking of buy one ivy i5 3550 , i think its not so bad at least much much better than my actual CPU. I cant buy 3770k for example, it cost so much here if i do then i wont be able to buy the motherboard i want . Thanks for the info and sharing your results MAG79

Hi berryracer check this out:

- LAV Video Decoder is recommended for MPC becouse MPC internal filters does not support DXVA2 copy-back decoding.
But PotPlayer internal decoders support it, so sensibly to use internal PotPlayers DXVA2 decoders instead LAV Video Decoders.
Becouse it good for stability reduce filters between videofile and FFDShow RAW - This is from RIMSKY ( SVP Team ), its his recommendation and he is right. PotPlayer not need it.

about Cuda, if you remember im Nvidia user, check this link http://www.svp-team.com/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=24097 , last POST, there is some new settings i was testing that refert to CUDA, try it by yourself and tell us how its going.

Thank you for using my Guide and if it work for you that makes me happy .

Greetings.

Greetings to you all guys and SVP Team .

Today i was experimenting with somethings and i want to show you all what it was.. i can say that im kinda happy with the results until now.

Again this is my PC specs:

i have lowered some my CPU overclocking to do and demostrate more the quality of the test.

I was testing some movies that were encoded at some popular Frames and resolutions, like for example 23.976 fps, 24 fps, 25 fps and 29.97 fps at 1280x720, 1280x544, 1280x536, 1920x1080 and 1920x800. Using my Guide, new settings, SVP off and on, EVR CP, Nvidia driver 304.79 and Custom SVP Profiles for each kind of Resolution / Frames based of my system.

Here the results:

Note: the screenshots were taking WITHOUT PAUSE THE MOVIE, it was in real time while the file(s) playing.

This time i was using EVR CP and not MadVR, changed the PotPlayers Built-in Video Decoder - FFmpeg Decoder Type 2 for H264/AVC1 to PotPlayers Nvidia Cuda Decoder .Using Nvidia drivers 304.79 and my custom Video Color Settings ( Nvidias Video Color Settings ) to enhance the image quality.
