Advanced MPC-HC Setup Guide - Page 7

after you install madvr, there are some test patterns in the madvr folder that will show maximal differences.

im interested in getting more exact with the system requirements.

If anyone could underclock their system (lower the multi or something) until high bitrate (30-40 megabit) 1080p/i H264 video is just barely playable with the different methods I listed, and then run 64 bit cinebench r11.5 to find out what the system scores at that point, I would be grateful. A lot of what I put there are basically just guesses atm.

Also, on the gpu front, does anyone have an intel hd2000 gpu? can that manage madvr even with bilinear scaling for luma and chroma?


and in an unrelated note, i removed coreavc from the op. I looked at some benchmarks, and it doesn't really provide anything that lav video can't provide.

ill take your word for it.
you can look at the cpu usage, and see at what point does it get to 85-90% just to play the video.

tell me how things are connected.

you are connecting hdmi from your computer straight to your receiver, right?

and what graphics card and receiver are you using?


My thought is that you were just bitstreaming DTS before and not DTS-HD. is that possible?

From what I understand, since the 4670 lacks PAP, it shouldn't be able to bitstream DTSHD or TrueHD.

You can do one of 2 things, you can either bitstream just DTS, or even better, uncheck both DTS and DTSHD, get your hands on arcsoft TMT3 or TMT5, and follow the part on advanced DTS and DTSHD software decoding.

this is almost a complete guess Todd, but try specifying an audio renderer and see if that fixes your problem. its under options, output, and manually specify it rather than leaving it at system default.

well, the 3 computers i use the most would be my desktop with an overclocked q6600 and nvidia gtx 260, my htpc with an athlon x2 3800+ and an nvidia 8600gt, and my netbook which has an AMD E350 and a radeon 6310.

on my desktop im basically doing what the guide suggests. well, im exactly doing what it suggests actually.

on my htpc, the video card doesn't have enough memory for madvr, so im stuck using lav cuvid for decoding and ffdshow for hq rgb conversion. Why don't I get a new graphics card your wondering? well, i need component video out. and everything nowadays is hdmi, so i have to wait till i upgrade my tv first.

on my netbook, i use dxva for performance and battery life reasons.

If I had to suggest a new card, I would probably suggest a radeon 6450 or nvidia gt 520 if deinterlacing 1080i isnt that important to you and you have a good enough cpu for yadif and frame doubling and decoding. If you need high quality 1080i deinterlacing, nvidia gt 440 with gddr5.

you really cant do much with zacate other than dxva.

and dxva isnt hard to set up. mpc hc defaults to it.

there are plenty of dxva decoders available, so you don't really need to pay for one directly.

For example, there are the ones that come with mpc hc used by default if no other video decoder is given preference, then there is one that comes with windows 7 (microsoft dtv-dvd video decoder), then there is one that comes with cyberlink powerdvd (cyberlink video decoder) that works well with lav splitter but no other splitter, and there is some that come with ffdshow.

So, you probably have at least one of those.

i did mention that you can use ffdshow to deinterlace with yadif.
cyberlink is pretty good for vc-1 though, you can use that instead of wmvideo decoder dmo if you want.
in my experience, cyberlink's vc-1 decoder is a lot faster for interlaced, but a little slower for progressive vc-1.

i think what i am recommending is right.

according to this http://avisynth.org/mediawiki/Yadif , and this http://ffdshow-tryout.sourceforge.ne...:deinterlacing , it seems that the best quality is with the spatial check on, thus leaving that option unchecked.
