VideoRenderer VS mpc-hc

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.

Your link is the old/abandonware mpc-hc, here you'll find a more recent version

https://github.com/clsid2/mpc-hc

And just in case you are playing this on a PC, try playing them with either VLC or Media Player Classic (up2date clsid2 fork), both are capable of playing these files.

I have had no problems with MPC-HC: https://github.com/clsid2/mpc-hc/releases

https://github.com/clsid2/mpc-hc Clsid2 was immeadiately it's successor

https://github.com/clsid2/mpc-hc/releases/ it says march 3rd and its the same one k lite codec uses https://codecguide.com/download_kl.htm

MPC-HC is the premier Windows player. It has pitch corrected playback speeds. Alternatively, Audacity can as well, but it's more complicated. MPC-HC is also the best movie player you can get.

Open releases on the right side of the page, go to a version of your choosing and at the bottom of the post in the Assets section choose whatever binary you need. Alternatively, you could use a windows packet manager such as chocolatey, for example, and it can handle all that for you. They do have both outdated and the modern fork of MHC-HC
