If FFDshow raw filter is your only hindrance, then maybe try using Potplayer, the 64-bit version. It requires the LAV filter, but not the FFDshow raw filter to work with SVP. As I recall, you have to go into SVP settings somewhere (maybe "all settings"), and go half way down the list and find the "Potplayer" settings area and delete "false" and type in "true". Then restart SVP, and you're good to go.

My guess is that you're using MadVr and you need to lower your settings. Your "average stats rendering" is too high at 17.34ms. You need to drop it below your vsync of 16.67ms.

Hi: I already applied the changes to generate.js and it works fine. But I am happy to undo the changes.

However, how do I apply the modified settings in override.js ?

Somewhere in here?

/***** SVAnalyse options *****/

//analyse.vectors            = 3;
//analyse.block.w            = 16;
//analyse.block.h            = 16;
//analyse.block.overlap    = 2;

Basically the same as here: https://www.svp-team.com/wiki/SVP:Daum_PotPlayer

Except that I set LAV hardware acceleration to NVIDIA CUVID because I have a GTX970 and it's totally safe to do so on the 64bit version. The rest of what I do is pretty much contained in the previous post.

Also, following another contributor's advice, I've reduced artifacts on the documentaries I watch to nearly zero by setting SVP as follows:
Motion vectors grid: 24px. Large 2
Decrease grid step: By two with global refinement

Doing this produces much the same effect as setting the first to "12 px. average 1" and the second to "disabled" but has the aforementioned advantage of almost completely eliminating artifacts for me.

Been using 64bit Potplayer for months. No "slowdowns", though I didn't have slowdowns with the 32bit version either. Doesn't need (nor can it use) ReClock and works great with or without FFDshow (so you don't need to install that either if you don't want). And, to my eyes, the built-in video options (i.e. VMR9/EVR scaler options (I use Shader(2-Pass) Lanczos) plus the Resize options (I use Bicubic and set the multiplier to 2 times)) enable you to approximate MadVr quality (i.e. in MadVr setting all scaling algorithms to Jinc w/o activate ringing filter and not touching upscaling refinement) at half the GPU usage. So, even though I'm using a 55" 4K TV to watch documentaries with SVP, I don't use MadVr either. PotPlayer has more built-in options for audio playback than MPC or anything else I've seen (I have a 4.1 audio system). To my ears, sound quality is better on the 64bit version compared to 32bit if you have a decent sound system.

Sounds like my 60Hz Samsung TV which can only handle 24FPS and 30FPS videos. 25FPS videos are unwatchable without SVP.

I use ffdshow audio decoder too because MPC-HC and MPC-BE don't seem to output 4.1 audio. Neither does SMPlayer.

Which is why I primarily use PotPlayer, which does support 4.1 audio output.

If I set main.setup.potplayer.prefer_avisynth = false
when SVP runs I get stuttering playback too.

If MPC-HC becomes too much of a hassle, you might try the 64bit version of PotPlayer. Doesn't crash using Nvidia Cuvid  (so I haven't used a 32bit player in months.) Its built-in "VRM9/EVR scaler" can be adjusted to achieve much the same effect as MadVR but uses less than half as much GPU processing power. So I haven't used MadVr in months either. I don't know if it will solve your other problems, but it's an option to keep in mind.

Thanks James D for the heads up on the update: http://www.videohelp.com/software/VapourSynth

Recent builds of Windows 10 are not always compatible with MadVr. The result is identical with your description: "occasional, very slight stuttering which is very distracting." Have you tried switching to EVR Custom?

Hi, I'm using the latest build of Windows 10 (i.e. build 14936) and found MadVr's maximum rendering time had increased to approximately ten times normal, which caused video slowdowns for me too. I solved the problem by using another video renderer: EVR custom present.
