Thanks for the explanation, but something doesn't make sense:

1. With built in FFMPeg & DXVA Copy Back:

Input is AVC1 12 bit, Output is YUY2 16 bit. ffdshow shows input and output as YUY2

2. With LAV Video Decoder & Native DXVA:

Input is NV12 12 bit, Output is NV12 12 bit. ffdshow shows input as YV12 and output as NV12.

Why is that, shouldn't the input be the same? How can I force YUY2 output on LAV Decoder?

You said YUY2 has a better color resolution, I'd like to make sure I get the best output quality.

Thanks

OK I can get it to work if I do this:

Result:

I know DXVA is working because the FPS is higher and smoother and I also see the GPU load is higher.

But my question is about the output, with the built in decoder I get a YUY2 16 bit output, and with LAV I get 12bit NV12, is there a big difference? Can I force YUY2 on LAV?

Also, what is ffdshow being used for? I still don't understand why I need both LAV Video and ffdshow AND madVR.

Thanks

OK, it seems to work when I enable DXVA Copy Back mode:

But I can't get it to work in Native mode... What gives? I tried setting LAV Video Decoder and selecting Native DXVA, but it only says "LAV Video Decoder" in the Video Decoder, nothing about DXVA, although I do see that the GPU load is higher when it's used.

Should I try a different version of PotPlayer maybe?

Also, can you please explain the difference between the video decoder and video filter? What is the Video Decoder used for, and what is FFDSHOW used for?

Thanks

This is what I'm getting:

It's using the build in FFMpeg decoder, and using DXVA. If you can only use either DXVA or CUDA, then why would the guide tell you to enable DXVA and set CUDA as the decoder?

BTW why does it say ExtPCM under the Audio Decoder output? I'm using WASAPI Excusive mode and it's bitstreaming:

Anyway, I tried disabling DXVA, and selecting CUDA as the decoder, it still freezes...

Hi Maken,

Thanks for updating the guide with the photos

I've set up everything as you instructed, with madVR and your upscaling settings I'm getting a stable 60% GPU usage which is good, no overheating and the GPU is stable at around 45-50C (GTX680)

However, I have several issues:

1. CPU usage is very high, with every 1080p file I play I'm getting 80% usage. Are there any SVP settings or madVR settings I can change to reduce the usage a bit? My CPU is an i5 2500K, and its overclocked to 4.5GHz. With the prvious SVP version I was getting about 65-70% and I could control the settings in the manager to do that. In the new free version I can't change any video profile settings, can you please help with this?

2. With the LAV Audio Decoder, I am unable to pass through DTS-HD, only regular DTS although I checked all the HDMI/SPDIF formats. When using the PotPlayer built in decoder I can pass through DTS-HD fine. Any clue? Audio decoding is important to me, so if there's no solution to this I'll revert to using the built in Audio decoder.

Hi Maken,

I have just formatted Win 10 and I want to set up SVP according to your guide again, however, I see that none of the photos are loading.

Could you please try and fix it? Thanks

Just got what 5G means Thanks for the settings, can you explain why you changed "Frame Interpolation Mode" and "Motion Vectors Grid"?

Jeff, I am only playing downloaded MKV files, sorry buddy, no experience encoding Blu-Ray CDs

Also Rimsky, are you using madVR or EVR?

I'm using madVR with

Chroma Upsacling - Jinc, 3 Taps, Anti Ringing
Image Upsacling - Jinc, 3 Taps, Anti Ringing, Linear Light
Image Downscaling - Catmull-Rom, Anti Ringing, Linear Light

I read online that these are the best possible settings, correct?

Hey Rimsky, thanks for the reply.

What are you checking load with? Windows Task Manager or SVP Manager/RealTemp etc...

For some reason I noticed that Windows 8.1 reads my CPU usage much higher than RealTemp/SVP Manager.

If I get 50-60% usage with RT/SVP, Windows shows 80-90% for some reason.

Also, can you post your SVP settings so that I can compare the load with my CPU?

Thanks

Hey Maken.

I have a very strong PC: 2500K @ 4.5GHz, 8GB DDR3-1600 Corsair memory, MSI Z77A-GD65 MB, EVGA GTX 680

The issue happened when playing any 1080p movie, I found out that the issue was because I updated my NVIDIA driver. I always uninstall my previous driver and then install the new one, this caused SVP to not work properly. As soon as I removed SVP and setup everything again after installing a new driver version it works.

Now a new driver came out a few days ago and I updated it on the fly, however, during the first attempt the installation failed and I'm a bit of a freak when it comes to setting up things properly so I need to uninstall and reinstall the driver and then set up PotPlayer, SVP and all the filters again *sigh*, unless there is an easier solution?

Thanks
