In case my frustration doesn't translate well, I am not angry with you, but I'm upset by my own stupidity. I guess I shouldn't have even updated the product when I was happy with how it was working in the 1st place. I think I understand now, after doing a reinstall, how to get it working the way I want it to. Sorry for bothering you, I just wish the translations and explanations for each function and setting were better documented, as I spent so much time learning exactly how each setting worked for me and now all those settings are either gone or named something completely different. You can understand how that would be frustrating right? It's your program and I can't thank you enough for it, but it's like running windows 3.1 and installing windows 3.2 and all the suddon it looks like windows 8. It's all completely different it really made me very sad. I'm still not sure if I will keep this update installed or go back to the previous version I spent so much time tweaking and understanding how it worked, or repeating the process and worrying that the next time you update it you'll just completely change everything again. I hope this doesn't sound rude or make anyone upset I just feel like a stupid fool who wasted his time trying to learn how to use this program and get it to work perfectly for me. Thank you so much for all the hard work you all put into this, I DO APPRECIATE IT, even though it may not sound like it because I feel frustrated and clueless.

Hello all, thanks so much for your combined answers, I just donated $15 to this wonderful project, I wish I had more to give!

I hope I can get 295.73 working on my laptop, I've been using 295.51 this whole time thinking I was up to date... You know what's funny? I thought Open-CL was CUDA Language(C-L... get it?). I know it's wrong now, thanks to you guys, I thought you'd all get a good laugh out of that!  Thanks for clearing that up for me MAG79!

I just got done watching 15 minute test run of Transformers 3 in 1080p using EVR CP... I swear it looked smoother than when I used madVR! Maybe it's because I've been paying more attention lately, getting more familiar with how the SVP effect "Looks". So I have been noticing flickering and randomly dropped frames, no matter what SVP or madVR settings I try... EVR CP also gave me RGB32 output instead of YUV2 or whatever, and isn't RGB32 "the best" colorspace? I am confused because when I tried EVR CP with a 720p video I got very bad audio delay, so I immediately went back to madVR instead of trying to troubleshoot the problem. I will let you know if I have any luck, perhaps it will help people with slower computers? Thanks again for your time. I will try to post my benchmark results soon.

Good to know about the new version of LAV, I'm going to install that right now. I'm also glad to hear the 295.73 drivers are good because that's what I've been using and I was about to try the 27x.xx drivers everyone said was WAY BETTER so knowing 295 is good saved me a driver reinstall. 

Yes I have seen low performance with some settings in SVP, I basically went and changed all my profile settings so the "profile bars"(Below the description of each setting) were maxed, and of course my performance went down to 0.3  so I just changed each setting one at a time until it smoothed out for me, that's good to know about the "4 pixel" thing, I did notice some odd jaggy lines or artifacts so maybe that was my problem. One video had a mans head move quickly across a highly detailed, fast moving background (trees) and his head was surrounded by big blocky artifacts, I wonder if that was the pixel search setting... It was a poorly encoded video too, but I think that was the one setting I did not change when trying to fix it... Oops!

Thank you all for answering my questions I appreciate it. I think someone was asking if you could watch Blurays with Potplayer and SVP, you CAN do it with Slysoft ANYDVD HD, they give you a free 21 day trial period, and it runs in the background and removes the copyright encryption found on blurays and allows any AVC/H264 player to play a protected Bluray. I tried to get SVP to work but I don't really know what I am doing, and by the time I figured out how to get LAV to decode the Bluray instead of WMDecoder DO or whatever it was, I was seeing a big drop in performance when playing Blurays, even before I tried to use SVP. Once I got SVP to work I had to set everything in the profile to lowest possible settings and it still went slow for me, like 45 FPS instead of 60... I must have something setup incorrectly or too slow of a CPU/GPU to use Potplayer+Blurays+SVP.

I also installed the latest English Build of Potplayer, and after changing all my filters and preferences, I had some trouble getting ANYDVD HD to work, well, it was very very late and I'm ashamed to say... I forgot what I changed and when I went back to use SVP on a 720p MKV, I got all kinds of errors... Sigh, it's my own damn fault for being half asleep while trying to tweak and play with settings! Hahah, I am used to it, it's half the fun of using a computer! I got it back working pretty good, however, sometimes instead of "Low SVP index" when I use too high settings in a SVP profile it tends to give me a potplayer.dll exception error... so I'm going to go through the guide and install this new version of LAV and maybe that will clear up my problems, I must have set a wrong setting somewhere... Oh, hey, Maken, have you tried Exclusive mode in fullscreen with MadVR? I might be crazy, or it might have just been the one video I watched with it, but I swear I had much lower CPU usage/Better performance with that exclusive mode in fullscreen box checked in madVR settings.

Thanks again guys, this is the best new program I've seen in a while, I'm having a blast with it and I hope more people will contribute to your project! You guys are GENIUSES! I wish I had more money to give, I can only afford $15 but I feel like it's worth at least $50-100! Don't worry I will donate more when I can, and I will try to send more generous/rich people your way!
