SVP 4 Stuttering problem while watching anime (Page 2 of 8)

I say me that the file is too large to upload!

Sorry for my absance,so i'm watching the cpu utilization and....it seems that the cpu works at 1.8 Ghz instead of 2.4Ghz how it is possible?

Yes with cpu-z the Ghz of my cpu is 1.8Ghz even with the scheme "High Perfomance" so i'm going to try this program.....

Was that with version 6.00?  If so, use the newest beta from here:
http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads … de.531329/

Note that, once a new version is out, the old beta versions will "expire" and you'll be forced to go download the newest version; I believe this is to prevent any possible-buggy versions from being redistributed (though I've not had any issues).

----------------------------------------------------------------

Oh, and just a heads up, if you end up solving the issue, please do not abandon this thread immediately since I'd still like to discuss a few things with your SVP setup once things are working.

(for example, 24fps @ 48Hz really should be smoother and take up less CPU than 24fps @ 60Hz...)

EDIT: Had a thought - if you set SVP to not use any GPU acceleration, does your CPU run at the full 2.4GHz?  Note that performance will likely be even worse.

That may just mean that your performance woes with SVP is merely a symptom of a more generic issue.  For example, if you run something like Prime95 with 4 threads, do you also only see it running at 1.8GHz?

If so, perhaps you could check the temperature of your CPU via something like CoreTemp so as to make sure it's not throttling due to high temperature (for reference, the "Tj. Max" value is the CPU's safe temperature limit).

And that was with 4 threads, correct?  What happens if you manually set prime95 to 9 threads?

Here's a crazy idea - turn off GPU acceleration in SVP and then try playing back a VP9 video or a 10bit video with SVP.  Do you still get 1.8GHz?

If you actually get 2.4GHz with that, try doing the following:

If not then I honestly am not sure...my theory was that the processor tries to balance the load between the GPU and CPU, but if you still get 1.8GHz with SVP in a situation that shouldn't use the GPU at all then I don't know.

If all else fails, you could try using SVP 3.1.7 and use manual custom settings (fyi you can do this with SVP4 Pro as well, but it costs money unless you use Linux).

And with that, I must go to bed.

If you have no issues with 32bit SVP, then it would probably make more sense to ask for help in the 64bit SVP thread, or heck you could make your own thread.

This is a relevant thread:

It's possible that these imperfections are simply due to the default settings. Unlike SVP4, SVP3 does not have a single "optimize for animation" button.

The most basic change would be to set your shader to "2. Sharp (for anime)"; if this isn't enough also try setting your Frames interpolation mode to "1.5m (less artifacts, for anime)"

Start with that and we'll go from there.  In particular, there are several other things we can do to improve performance that should allow us to increase the SVP settings which may very well reduce artifacting farther.

Right click the SVP icon in the bottom-right of your screen, hover over "video profiles", and then select whichever video profile you want (the bolded one is the most recent or currently used profile).

There's no real "best settings" specific to anime other than the shader really. However, there are several other things that are useful to set regardless of video content, and since performance is an issue, this should help.

First, let's make sure you've kept the following settings that I've mentioned previously:

In SVP, enable GPU acceleration if you haven't already.  Also it would probably be wise to set the processing threads in SVP to 7.

In LAVfilters (particularly the one that is built into MPC-HC), set the decoder to "DXVA2 (copy-back)"

In MPC-HC, set your output to "Enhanced Video Renderer (custom presenter)"

In MPC-HC, set your resizer to one of the three "Bicubic" options (A=-0.60 is the smoothest, A=-1.00 is the sharpest)

In MPC-HC, enable "D3D Fullscreen"

Now set your SVP profile settings to

Frames interpolation mode: 1.5m OR Uniform (1.5 = fewer artifacts; Uniform = smoother but more CPU heavy)
SVP shader: Sharp
Target frame rate: Double source frame rate (2x)
Motion vectors grid: 8 px. Small 0
Search radius: Average
Motion vectors precision: Half pixel
Decrease grid step: Disabled
Wide search: Strongest
Artifacts masking: Disabled
Processing of scene changes: Blend adjacent frames
Decrease frame size: To screen size

Now it's very likely that this will give you performance that is not at all adequate.  So from there, you need to decrease some of the settings.  Normally you'd work with 4 of the settings, but for anime content you really only need to focus on 2 of them:

Motion vectors grid
Motion vectors precision

"Grid" controls the overall feeling of "speed" of all on-screen motion, while "Precision" only applies to the smoothness of small movements.  Generally you want to reduce "Precision" as low as possible (that being to "Two pixels") before trying to reduce the "Grid" setting.  Simply keep reducing those setting until you end up with good performance.

However, sometimes a combination such as "14 px. Average 1" + "One pixel" will give a better result than something like "12 px. Average 2" + "Two pixels".  Also remember that setting 'Interpolation mode' to "Uniform" will give higher CPU utilization than if you set it to "1.5m".

Once you have your SVP settings how you like them, there is one thing left we can do to improve smoothness of overall video-playback without increasing CPU utilization or artifacting, but it's not quite as easy to set up, so I'd rather get your SVP performance woes out of the way first.
