Topic: Help! New user getting the following error...

Hello everyone I'm new....

I just installed the entire SVP package, containing a fresh installation of MPC-HC, Reclock, AvSynth and FFDshow on my Windows 7 machine but everytime I start MPC-HC and run a movie I get the following errors....

I already had MPC-HC and FFDShow installed, but I uninstalled them and then re-installed SVP Package, but still get this error. I have no anti-virus' running.

Please help....is it an FFDshow issue? Or maybe a DirectX issue?

Re: Help! New user getting the following error...

1. Try to disable GPU-acceleration
2. Do you see two SVP-messages in your player as at your picture every time?
In normal it must be only one message at the bottom of the frame.

Re: Help! New user getting the following error...

Hello mag79 and thank you for your reply,

First of all, to answer your question, no...I do not see any green SVP messages on my screen in MPC-HC at all. 

I have disabled gpu acceleration and now I no longer get the script error, but now MPC-HC just hangs and either the picture doesn't move, or the whole player crashes. SVP is telling me my "video player has ran out of memory" which doesn't make any sense to me since I have 6gb of DDR 3 system ram. I have MADVR, ReClock, LAV, and FFDshow all enabled and no video playback problems without SVP, but as soon as SVP is activated MPC-HC crashes or just hangs.  The main pop-up error I get every time I run SVP is

Keep in mind I have a very powerful Nvidia GTX 680 graphics card with 4GB of video ram. My Intel cpu is overclocked to 4.0Ghz

I'm thinking there's a setting somewhere in either MADVR, Re-Clock or LAV, or even maybe from within MPC-HC itself, that is not playing nice with whatever SVP is doing.

Also, can you tell me if AVIsynth needs to be enabled in ffdshow? If so, do I need a script or something to make it work? If I enabled it most of the time I get a message saying script not valid or some crap. Or, can I leave avisynth disabled altogether?

Re: Help! New user getting the following error...

Hello MAG79.

OK here's the deal...

I went ahead and completely uninstalled and then freshly re-installed everything from scratch....MPC-HC, MadVR, Re-clock, SVP, FFDshow, the whole 9 yards. I also did a clean re-installation of my Nvidia drivers for my GTX 680 4gb. After doing all that, I am pleased to say that I got SVP to load properly with MPC-HC without any errors even with OpenCL activated(YAY!). This is good news and I'd like to thank you for your help.

However, with that having been said, there are still a couple issues that remain when using SVP. I have been trying for hours to find the a setting to my liking, that delivers a constant and rock solid steady 60fps for my dvds and have failed miserably. I watch mostly anime and I can *hit* 60fps but the framerate drops constantly and I am always bombarded with messages from SVP saying things like "Variable framerate detected. Interlacing is on". And yes I already have "Variable Framerate Repair" turned on.

This is where things get complicated and confusing for me.....

With so many other filters, decoders and whatnot all active at the same time, I'm not sure what settings I need to apply to keep my video at a smooth 60fps. So here are a few questions I'm hoping you can answer for me....

1)In MadVR, should I leave "enable smooth motion frame conversion" checked or unchecked, even when SVP is running? If checked, which of the 3 categories should I check?

2)In LAV Decoder, should Enable Adaptive HW interlacing be checked or unchecked? If checked, then which Output mode should be selected...(film) or (video)? And should I check high quality processing?

3)Ditto for software de-interlacing....should I enable YADIF Interlacing? If so, which output mode?

4)Now that I have SVP loading and active, which External Filters should I be using in MPC-HC? Right now I have LAV Video Decoder, FFDShow Raw Video Filter, and MadVR...in that order. The funny thing is though, upon loading a video, the icons for neither LAV Video Decoder or FFDshow raw filter show up in my task manager, giving me the impression they aren't even activated. Why is that? And yet, FFDshow Video decoder is activated for no reason, even though I did NOT add it as an external filter. Very strange.

5)Avisynth appears to be working but it's very flaky....sometimes having it on crashes MPC but I guess it's OK now since it hasn't crashed in the last few sessions. However, is Avisynth really necessary to achieve smooth video in conjunction with SVP? I don't know what's wrong with Avisynth but most of the time I get a "script invalid" message upon loading a video, whenever it's activated(that's *IF* it doesn't crash MPC first). It appears I need good script for smooth video in avisynth...would someone mind giving me one?

6)I have Re-clock running and installed. Anything particularly important I need to change in its settings? Everything is set to automatic, and hell, even if I change anything it goes back to automatic anyway.

7)Back to SVP.....what are the absolute best settings you'd recommend I use to achieve a steady and consistent 60fps for my particular PC? Again, my specs are:

Windows 7 64bit Ultimate
Intel Core i7 950 OC'ed @ 4.0Ghz
Nvidia EVGA GTX 680 4GB
6GB DDR3 Ram
2TB HDD

I don't know what the hell I'm doing with all these options particularly with SVP. One thing I *have* discovered as of just a few minutes ago however, is that SVP doesn't seem to play nice with FRAPS. Having FRAPS on makes the video very jumpy and "framey". The fps fluctuates big time when fraps is activated. So that begs the question.....is there a framerate counter in either SVP, FFDshow, Re-clock or MPC-HC I can use as a substitute for FRAPS?

Anyway the bottomline is, I like to think I have a fairly beefy PC. All my games including BLOPS 2, Bordrlands 2, GRID 2, etc run at a smooth 60fps and higher. So I see no reason why SVP can't deliver a rock solid 60fps at ALL times, for any video file or dvd. To be fair, It appears to be 60fps most of the time when running MPC-HC in a window, but as soon as I enter full screen mode that when frames get dropped and things get a bit choppy here and there.

If anyone can address the above questions and make further suggestions It'd be greatly appreciated.

Re: Help! New user getting the following error...

It appears I may have figured out how to get a fairly steady fps....seems the upscaling methods in MadVR have a serious effect on SVP and is a resource hog. I was using jinc 3 taps and then I decided to switch everything to nearest neighbor, and now I'm getting pretty much 60fps in fullscreen. Problem is, I don't want to be restricted to nearest neighbor. I want to be able to use jinc 3 taps *AND* achieve a steady 60fps in fullscreen Any other suggestions?

Also, can someone *please* suggest a framerate display counter other than fraps? I can't tell what frames I'm getting unless I use fraps or an alternative.



*edit*: Hmm, video is now choppy again even with nearest neighbor on madvr upscale and no fraps. WTF sad

Re: Help! New user getting the following error...

OK two things...

1)I have come to the conclusion that MadVR is a serious resource hog and is the main culprit for not getting 60fps with SVP. If I change MPC-HC's output renderer to EVR, I get over 75fps and sometimes over 100fps, with drops under 60fps every so often but not near much as with MADVR on. Isn't there a way to use, and max out MadVR's settings and still use SVP, especially with the PC specs I'm working with?

2)I've noticed something very interesting....LAV Video Encoder does not work or activate when using SVP. SVP requires that you set FFDShow Video encoder to a either high merit or to "preferred", in order for it to activate SVP properly. But once you do that, LAV becomes inactive and disengages from working with MPC-HC. You can test see this for sure by right clicking MPC, select filters and you'll see LAV is not there.

Isn't there a way to use both with MPC simultaneously? How important is using LAV to MPC overall?
