    hi all,

    will this work with XBMC?

    also, my tv already has motionflow, but produces artifacts (WHY), what would happen if i enabled svp and turned on motionflow on my tv?

    or could i disable motionflow on the tv and turn on svp? any suggestions?

    my tv is a Sony HX853.

    THANKS ALL!

    J

    There's an entry in SVP's FAQs that explains this.

    It's better to disable MotionFlow and turn on SVP.

    Awesome.

    I just sent them a small donation for their work (I'm a poor student :( , otherwise I would donate a full price program equivalent). This program made my movies so much more enjoyable to watch, it actually bothers me to no end when I watch a movie without SVP anywhere else.

    Please guys, chip in a little if you can for such an awesome program.

    Hi, im using Media Player Classic with this, the usage of the cpu(I5 2400) goes from 13 to 35% and the gpu(GTX460) jumps to 13%, does this seems ok in a 720p movie?

    What is the main difference when using this software?The movie actually looks smoother, why is this?Higher fps?

    Buy i have a problem, i have the blue color thing, how do i remove it?

    Nvm, i got the solution.

    edit: i did some comparison and i dislike this.Don't ask me why but it just doesn't seem right.I looks smoother but i don't think the movie i was watching was made to be seen like this, too fast in my opinion.

    It basically creates a third frame between two regular frames included in the film. It uses math and motion vectors to guess what the interloped frame should look like.

    So instead of the slow and jerky 24 fps that is standard film (that you usually watch), it makes it like the film is at 48 or 60 fps (or however many you want) so it looks much more natural, especially in fast fight scenes.

    Downside is that it is guesswork at the end of the day, and sometimes there are artifacts. But the idea is to find a good balance between the two.

    So here for example you see two frames that came with the film on the top, and the software tries to guess what frames in between the two original ones would look like based on the locations of the originals:

    For those interested, I expanded on the usefulness of making a batch file to run it.
    Here is what I use.
    Code:
    echo off | clip
    TASKKILL /f /im PotPlayerMini.exe
    TASKKILL /f /im SVPMgr.exe
    TASKKILL /f /im svptube.exe
    START "" "E:\Libraries\Videos\SVP\SVPMgr.exe"
    START "" "E:\Libraries\Videos\SVP\svptube\svptube.exe"
    PotPlayerMini.exe
    TASKKILL /f /im SVPMgr.exe
    TASKKILL /f /im svptube.exe
    
    For this to work you need to make the batch file where potplayer is (you can just make a shortcut to it anyway), AND you need to change the file locations of SVPMgr.exe and svptube.exe (which is optional obviously).

    In order of how the batch file goes, first it clears your clipboard (what ever you have copied) so that if you have a youtube link copied it does not automatically start playing, then it makes sure Potplayer an SVP is not running (so you get a fresh start), then it starts SVP. Then potplayer is launched, the CMD prompt stays open- when you close potplayer it will automatically close SVP and the youtube app then the prompt will close.
    This way you can just use the batch file as a luncher, and it will just close everything when you close your mediaplayer, I even set a shortcut to it and set the properties to Run: Minimized so I don't have to see it.

    Anyway, sounds complicated when I type it out, but it's simple enough, better then running SVP all the time or manually launching it.

    Hmm, i think i just got used to this.

    I would say that 1m of frame interpolation time and 48-60 fps is what makes it feel a lot better.

    What is the difference between 1m and Uniform?

    Can i set a fixed fps?I would like 48.Why this number you ask?!Mainly because at sometimes if not mistaken even at 59 or 60 i feel tearing, not completely sure yet.And because it's the double of 24.

    I have it just like yours, maybe it was not tearing but some kind of artifact.

    Thanks for the print-screen.

    Yes, as i said before i messed mostly with the 1st and 3rd setting.

    Do you feel any difference between 1m and Uniform?

    Setting artifacts masking to Strongest killed all of my artifacts, as the name of the setting suggest.

    Dr. noob, try leaving frame interpolation ms at default, change target frame rate to 2x (the first setting). You could also try that along with Blend frames to screen refresh rate on (the bottom setting). You might have trouble using that with larger res content though.

    @WhiteLightning; you really should rethink what shaders you are using...

    To change FPS, go to the profile settings and adjust: "target frame rate" .
