Good day,

black friday is there, what a coincidence: Out of the blue the program-activation gets reset, asking me to registration again.
Coincidences everywhere; 2 -3 times a year.

So what do I bought?
1) A licence key giving me infinite (1 computer) access to the program (I can use offline)
2) A You'll own nothing-perpetual-licence subscription (WEF Klaus Schwab likes), where I own nothing (no program) and have to constantly prove via internet access that I bought this perpetual-licence subscription and get granted access to your guys program-account.

Do I get an answer from the developers?
Looks like it is the 2). And 2) means once you guys shut your online servers down or decide for whatever reason to abandon this project, I lose access to it.

I'm not giving you guys any money in the future if is 2).
:-/

Greetings

Thanks for the replies.
I got another question regard an issue:
8) When watching a film, or aninmated (cartoon, anime) or animated 3d film, there are some sometimes/often artifacts around moving objects; the faster an object moves the more artifacts there are.
Or imagining a zebra running in front of an greend forest.
It' s most visible when something moves horizontally, rarely vertically and for me.
Changing the option "mask artifact" from "low/medium/high" don't help. Got set it to low, high makes it worse.
Changing the overall preset to "higher quality" don't help either.
thanks!

7) Using an nvidia graphics card, it's possible to add a profile to a program, where various things can be set. Is this usefull or not needed? What about g-sync (adaptive sync)? Is it working with svp 4? I know that's it's not working and should be deactivated for mp-hc or madVR.

6) Despite setting the monitor to 144 Hz, vsp 4 sets the video to "142.657" Hz and with the monitor set to 60 Hz, vsp sets the video to "at 59.940" Hz. Is this still correct?

Thanks in advance!

5) There is sometime a message shown by svp in mpc-hc: "SVP: Playback at 142.657 Automatic Black bars:276-276, 0-2". Is this due too heavy load or frames being dropped?

4) Disabling madVR. This how the developers intended svp 4 working in conjunction with mpc-hc? The mpc-hc  settings look like this:
- Playback -> Output -> Video Renderer: Enhanced Video Renderer (custom presenter). "Direct3D-Fullscreen mode" is deacvtivated.
- madVR is no longer working and shown as a tray icon. Filter, during playback are now showing the "Enhanced Video Renderer (custom presenter)".

3) In the svp 4 Manager, gpu-acceleration is activated. As expected, using 1) svp 4 + madVR, puts an immense load on the cpu. The slider in the svp 4 manager is set to the middle position;  watching 1080p content puts the cpu utilization to ~ 40 - 50 %, watching uhd-media (2160p) puts the cpu to 70 - 90 % utilization. More option than the svp 4 manager slider to tackle this?
3.1) Mpc-hc shows that frames are being droped, even when the cpu is at 50 % utilization.
What to do against frames being dropped?
3.2)  Now that the graphic card has to render not 24 or 30 frames, but 60, the gpu load is very high. Now matter what profile settings I put in madVR: chroma upscaling to Lanczos, Jinc, NGU ... the gpu load is always around 90 %.
I found the solution to this in the madVR settings: scaling algorithms ->  "your profile" -> image downscaling -> processing done by GPU video logic: set to "DXVA2".
Keeping the same other madVR settings, now, even with 2160p content, the gpu utilization is way lower. This the correct way to tackle it?

Hello,
thanks to the devs for the program.
I've a few questions I would like the devs or someone else to kindly answer.

I installed svp 4 pro for the first time on a windows 10 pc. The video player used is mpc-hc (64 bit) version 1.7.15 with madVR v0.92.12. The g-sync monitor used can display 144 Hz, native 8 bit color and works correctly in conjunction with the nvidia graphics card. Cpu is a intel i7 2600 k, all cores running at 4,4 GHz.
During installation everything mandatory was installed (filters for mpc-hc x64 version too), though I aborted the mpc-hc program installation (1.7.13) because, as said, a newer version is already installed. newest LAV filters, x32 and x64 were already installed.


1) Can mpc-hc used together with madVR and svp 4 pro? I read on the internet before that it can't, but after I installed it, it looks like it does. Didn't even needed to change any settings in mpc-hc or madVR.
After I load a video the svp message (inside mpc-hc) indicates that everything is correctly installed and running, even with madVR simultaneously. In the svp 4 manager everything is running correctly too. The black bars during video playback, are also being filled with color.
All media playback now looks very smooth.

I followed the instructions here https://www.svp-team.com/wiki/SVP:MPC-HC
During playback, at every start, message shown is always this: "SVP: Playback at 142.657 Automatic" and "SVP: activated Automatic".
In madVr setting, everything works as it worked before without svp 4. All madVR profiles are loaded during playback.
madVR -> rendering -> general settings "enable windowed overlay", "enable automatic fullscren exlcusive mode" and "smooth motion" are all deactivated".
Pressing CTRL + J (in mpc-hc) results in the usual information being showed.

2)
Using 1) The monitor set to 144 Hz means svp will process content to 144 Hz, which puts an extreme amount of utilization to cpu and gpu. Making a custom profile, let's call it "60 Hz", in the svp 4 manager, setting "fix frame rate 60 fps" results svp now showing the message "SVP: Playback at 59.940 60 Hz" and "SVP: activated 60 Hz". MadVR still shows "display ~ 143.8HZ" and "composition rate ~ 143.998Hz". Are these correct settings?
