I really appreciate this. 

So I ran into issues and kind of gave up the other night out of frustration.  I got jriver setup to passthrough the capture card to the screen.  I tried jriver default processor, and tried connecting it to SVP using the post processing filter avisynth.  BUT... every single time I tried to click properties, jriver would crash.  I assume I should be able to click on the properties button inside jriver and have something pop up with avisynth?  And any video I tried to play via capture card to svp, svp always showed no video playing.  I did get svp to register a video was playing out of MPC HC, but it never got ANY changes in the displayed video / processor load beyond SVP recognizing a video was playing, showing a 1.0 ... something in the performance graph. 

I feel like I have a wonderfully working madvr setup, albeit, extremely high GPU usage and the typical low framerate.  I'm really frustrated I've been unable to make SVP function.  I've tried reinstalling, etc.

Fair warning, I know just enough to be dangerous.  If any of my thoughts / ideas are wrong, let me know.  I have no belief I understand this topic particularly well. 

I have a projector in our media room, so I've been using a capture card, videoprocessor (a software application from videoprocessor.org), and madvr for hdr to sdr tonemapping.  I've been really happy with the results and was curious if SVP could help smooth out the frame rate.  I've seen references to... I think it was MPV video renderer maybe?  I believe there is some criticism that madvr may use a ton of extra processor that either doesn't yield significantly better results or better methods now exist to achieve that tone mapping. 

Essentially I'd like to know if I can use videoprocessor (which has a dropdown to select any directshow video renderer) and select... SVP maybe?  And then is there a way to tie in something like MPV in place of madvr to get smooth frames combined with great tone mapping?  I'd like to avoid having to change HDR (which I'm doing by mapping everything to sdr) and frame rate "bonks" on the projector as it takes 4 - 8 seconds to resync the HDMI signal.  I also use the black bar detection to zoom video to my cinemascope screen. 

Is there a way to do what I'm wanting to do?  Because I use videoprocessor, I've installed the SVP application, but I don't know where to go from there.  I don't see "SVP" in the video renderers, but I did notice... was it MPC Video Renderer show up?  Which I believe was installed alongside SVP. 

I apologize for these questions.  I have madvr setup and working well.  Just curious if there are some other options to maximize the viewing experience and potentially have buttery smooth frames for movies. 

Thank you for your help!
