Greetings friend and to all, how you been Rimsky? i hope that good.

Sorry i was again off because many things, personal things, but i back again and yes of course i will update this, soon it will be about Sound as i promised before then later other things.

Hey i dont know if its sure but i installed this: ffdshow rev4487 by xhmikosr , since installed it i noticed my smooth quality some better than before with lastest PotPlayer, would you mind check it out and see if that ffdshow xhmikosr come with something especial or its tweaked and better than previous ffdshows? thanks.

to all peoples upcoming updates about Sound that will be added to my Guide coming soon , prepare for the best Sound experience ( if you have the proper hardware of course ) while watching your movies + awesome SVP. Thanks to all users who used my Guide and dont forget to say thanks or donate wont take you much .

Greetings.

Re: MakeN PotPlayer Guide - Not Dead Yet 2021 W.I.P.

Hey Maken1, and SVP gods, long time no see. Well, I have to say, I was skeptical about not using LAV any more, because I've been using it for so long and thought it was "The Best", but since upgrading to the latest PotPlayer I was having massive instability, crashing on seeks, crashing on fullscreen, you name it, it crashed it. So, I switched to internal codecs, (removed LAV filters from inside potplayer), install Halli, switched to EVR:CP instead of MadVR and... one word. WOW. Not only does it look fantastic and seem to be much more stable, (have not done long term testing yet, but at least it lets me seek forward and backward without crashing, as well as switching back and forth to full screen...) but I was also able to kick up SVP's settings a notch. Switching from Min Artifacts to Uniform gave me a fast, momentary spike of 75-80% cpu usage, but then it quickly went back down to 50% and video playback stayed smooth as silk. My GPU usage went from around 35-40% (When using LAV and MadVR) to about 60-80%. (When using Halli, Potplayer Internal Codecs, and EVR:CP) Also, I am using Nvidia's 306.23 WHQL drivers... While I understand some drivers might be better for SVP, I prefer to stay up to date on my video card drivers for the vast amount of games I play.

Sorry I haven't been around much, I appreciate what you guys are doing, and you are better men than I, BUT at some point, I HAD to STOP trying to tweak stuff and just enjoy it, something I've learned from 25 years of being a computer tech. Thanks a bunch for all the work you, and your new friend Rimsky have done keeping this tutorial up to date. I was starting to pull my hair out trying to stop my crashing, and am glad I checked back here before going bald. Also, as always, thanks again to the amazingly awesome SVP crew for such a wonderful product that I can not recommend enough. I've tried spreading the word everywhere I go, and I really hope people are donating money to the cause.

PEACE!

This program is really good, quite liked it, more than the MPC-HC, which was what I used before. I'll post some pictures and a video I made, it was good.

I recommend you for compatibility / image quality / 90/99% zero artifacts while playing + this amazing SVP:
1- Lastest POTPLAYER
2- Lastest Cole2K Media codecs
3- Lastest CoreAVC ( if you have nvidia video card much better for use CUDA )
4- Lastest FFDSHOW
5- Lastest Haali Splitter ( not install that one that come with CoreAVC i prefer to install it apart and config it manual )
6- Lastest AC3Filter and AC3File
7- Lastest LAV Splitters
8- If you have nvidia video card then i recommend you this driver 285.27
9- Lastest SVP ( support this ppl if you can coz they re making a great work )
Apart of that i need you to show us images of your artifacts and copy all the info of that media files here for some pro from here can help you and the rest of us in the case if there is something wrong with it.
Thanks man and greetings.

Hi Maken,

Could you tell me what to disable and what to enable for the CoreAVC to work. I have a weaker system so I went with madVR rendering but still no smooth 1080p even with lowered SVP quality settings, however when playing in WMP using CoreAVC I get smooth playback.
Spec:
Core2Duo P8400 @ 2.26GHz
GeForce 9600M GT 512MB
4GB DDR2 ram

Thx..!

Re: MakeN PotPlayer Guide - Not Dead Yet 2021 W.I.P.

Hello

Where is the pitch control in Potplayer?
when I speed up the video then the audio gets distorted and I would like to find the automatic pitch control that compensates this, in order to hear audio faster but well.

Thanks

Re: MakeN PotPlayer Guide - Not Dead Yet 2021 W.I.P.

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 .

My personal test and results using the Guide on my own system:

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

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.

Re: MakeN PotPlayer Guide - Not Dead Yet 2021 W.I.P.

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.

Re: MakeN PotPlayer Guide - Not Dead Yet 2021 W.I.P.

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

I know (and use) only 3 ways with no drops. Player + ReClock + renderer:
MPC-HC + ReClock + madVR (Exclusive fullscreen mode) = no dropped frames
MPC-HC + ReClock + EVR cp (D3D fullscreen mode) = no dropped frames
MPC-HC + ReClock + EVR Sync (D3D fullscreen mode) = no dropped frames

Hey Maken.

I have a very strong PC: 2500K @ 4.5GHz, 8GB DDR3-1600 Corsair memory, MSI Z77A-GD65 MB, EVGA GTX 680

The issue happened when playing any 1080p movie, I found out that the issue was because I updated my NVIDIA driver. I always uninstall my previous driver and then install the new one, this caused SVP to not work properly. As soon as I removed SVP and setup everything again after installing a new driver version it works.

Now a new driver came out a few days ago and I updated it on the fly, however, during the first attempt the installation failed and I'm a bit of a freak when it comes to setting up things properly so I need to uninstall and reinstall the driver and then set up PotPlayer, SVP and all the filters again *sigh*, unless there is an easier solution?

Thanks

Just install new NVIDIA driver with "clean install" option in the custom installation.
You not need to uninstall previous driver.
You not need to reinstall SVP, players and any other soft.

Re: MakeN PotPlayer Guide - Not Dead Yet 2021 W.I.P.

Hello, thank you for this wonderful guide. I was told to use SVP for my 60Hz only supported monitor as I'm currently experiencing jerkiness/choppiness during panning or tilting shots when watching anime.

FYI, I've followed this guide (http://imouto.my/configuring-potplayer- … -decoding/) for watching 10 bit anime on potplayer.
As a result, I have all the important components installed already except for SVP itself, FDD Show and AviSynch.

Ultimately, I have some questions in regarding to setting up SVP for my potplayer:
- First of all, I understand that I have to download SVP 3.1.4 Lite and ffdShow rev.4500 x86. However, what exactly do I need to download for Avisynth? Do I download "Avisynth 2.5.8" on third party packages or "AviSynth 2.5.8 (SVP edition)" on Avisynth plugins - the heart of SVP
- After installing these components, what exactly do I need to configure on potplayer to use SVP for my potplayer? I've read through the guide however, I'm not sure what to touch and tweak to use SVP. Also, FYI I've followed every single steps from the guide I mentioned above.

If you need more information, please tell me.

Thank you, your help would be appreciate it.

Re: MakeN PotPlayer Guide - Not Dead Yet 2021 W.I.P.

Sorry for being noob.. coz i don't understand the "why" parts.. i just copying and doing the same thing based on the your guide(first page).

Ok.. here it is.. i have some problem when playing Bluray files with FLAC audio and 5.1 channel (dunno if the FLAC or 5.1 cause the problem) -> MKV files(anime videos to be precise). If i play the regular files (AAC audio, 2.0 channel and non Bluray) it is working perfectly.. I am using GTX 660 Ti and running in SLi mode (2-way).

Each time i played that bluray FLAC files, my potplayer just crashed and stopped working. i dunno what to do..
The full version of SVP installer (with MPC HC) i can play this files easily, just one thing. i cannot get the subtitle working (no subtitle at all, for styled or srt. it's like no subtitle, even though i already enabled subtitle in the mpc setting).
Can I got this subtitle working in MPC HC? (sorry if this question is out of topic)
What i'll need to do to get this Bluray FLAC problem cleared for my potplayer?

Thx in advance
