VideoRenderer VS HTWebRemote

These days i use MPCVR, since it's much simpler and still does all the important stuff that madVR does.

This fork is no longer needed. The original MPC Video Renderer has been updated to support NVIDIA Super Resolution.

Don't forget https://github.com/Aleksoid1978/VideoRenderer/releases So you can play HDR on SDR displays without it looking shitty.

It looks like this fork isn't needed anymore. The original MPC VideoRenderer by Aleksoid1978 now supports Super Resolution too: https://github.com/Aleksoid1978/VideoRenderer/releases

Now let's hope video player devs will look into it too, I asked MPC-BE dev about it here a few weeks ago, seems the way they render with ID3D11VideoContext should let it work, hopefully now drivers are out they might look into it more: https://github.com/Aleksoid1978/VideoRenderer/issues/77

(I've asked MPC-BE devs about looking into it but seems they don't have any RTX hardware, and not sure how interested they are... hopefully an RTX owner can try looking into adding it sometime: https://github.com/Aleksoid1978/VideoRenderer/issues/77)

For what it's worth I asked MPC-BE devs about adding it here: https://github.com/Aleksoid1978/VideoRenderer/issues/77

I struggle finding/playing even 10bit content, it's rare I get to use all 10bits. No free video players output it out of the box AFAIK and I was unsuccessful configuring MadVR/AviSynth scripts & filters. After banging my head against the wall I eventually found this MPC-HC plugin https://github.com/Aleksoid1978/VideoRenderer/releases. One of the features it provides is mapping 10bit HDR to 10bit SDR, as I don't have an HDR monitor, but damn do movies look so much better.

Your best bet to view HDR on a display that doesn't support HDR (with a computer too slow for madVR) is with mpv Or if that doesn't work, then MPC-BE with MPCVR.

Thats the mpc video renderer, it also has good scaling options and covers all the other basics. Yet it can be faster and is much simpler to setup/use, so i always recommend giving it a try and than you can also directly compare it to MadVR.

Eh, at the moment a universal remote control app for my home theater. I expanded it somewhat for many other devices than I need, for friends and people on the AVSForums who requested things.

It's not all that impressive per say, but a number of people seem to really like it.

Also an app to add a "wind" effect to a home theater as well.
