Topic: upscaling

I need help with mpv upscaling. I want to decrease my 1080p videos to 720p and upscale it with mpv config to get the benefit of using x5 without having bad video quality. Can you guys help me ? How can i make it work properly. I also need the necessary codes for mpv.conf for upscaling.

Re: upscaling

To decrease to 720p use SVP menu: Video frame > Advanced controls > Decrease to HD. Then close SVP Control panel window or switch to another tab from Frame size tab. It will apply changes and remove blue rectangle from video frame.
To upscale video with mpv you can use glsl-shaders. See more here for example:

scale=ewa_lanczossharp
dscale=mitchell
cscale=ewa_lanczossoft

Are these the codes necessary codes for upscaling ?

You can read official mpv manual:

Re: upscaling

Another question i have is getting that 3d look for animes like on this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7FSwRYM … el=Artix.0

Using v sync with g sync seems to give this effect but if you add low latency mode to this two it dissapears.

Is there ways to improve this 3d look ?

Re: upscaling

What mean when you said: 3d look?
Is it video clip?
Yes, you can insert intermediate frames to any video clip and make it smoother.

Or you talking about SloMo effect?
It is the same interpolation but with reducing playback speed.
You can do it with SVP and MPC-HC player for example. Use Ctrl-Dwn hotkey while playback.

By 3d looks i mean it adds a depth to the video if you look closely every movement of the characters and the environment looks 3d. Another example is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z38TPFC … el=Artix.0 when you look how the characters move and that 3d look is different than what i get with rife. Dmitri also had this 3d look when i used it 1 year ago.

My rife settings are like https://imgur.com/Dt8PQXN this.

I have g-sync enabled in nvidia control panel + v-sync on. Is there something else that must be done to get a better feel. This is my mpv.conf.

# this is required for SVP to "catch" the mpv
input-ipc-server=mpvpipe

# hardware video decoder
hwdec=auto-copy
hwdec-codecs=all

vo=gpu-next
gpu-context=d3d11
drm-vrr-enabled=no
d3d11-sync-interval=1

# high quality video output, require rather fast video card
#profile=gpu-hq

# D3D11 renderer (default) is required for the HDR playback
gpu-api=d3d11

# use VULKAN API if you have problems with the default d3d11 renderer
#gpu-api=vulkan

# miscellaneous options

# comment this one if you want mpv to remember the playback position
save-position-on-quit=no

# fixes audio desync
hr-seek-framedrop=no

# "ReClock" replacement
#video-sync=display-resample
#video-sync-max-video-change=5

#log-file=mpv.log

fullscreen=yes
d3d11-exclusive-fs=yes
ontop
priority=high

Re: upscaling

Okey i'm writing all of this down so that if i forget something i can look back -__-

For max smoothness with rife these are the main things you have to do.

Mpv conf. must have-


profile=gpu-hq

fullscreen=yes
ontop
d3d11-exclusive-fs=yes

Nvidia control panel settings-

G-sync on + only v-sync on. (Low Latency and triple buffering not working)

My 3070 can handle 1080p x4 which is a lot smoother than x3 but has more artifacts.
