[Vcb-studio Popular Science tutorial 2.5] Potplayer and MADVR-based player Tutorials (updated xysubfilter)

Potplayer is a popular player in high-definition movies, the interface is simple, full-featured, more humane than MPC-HC and mpc-be, but its default scheme is very bad, preset too many errors, unable to correctly play 10-bit video, has been criticized. Vcb-stuido's previous high-definition tutorials have mostly focused on madvr, with some errors in Potplayer settings. For the vast audience can be right and convenient to use potplayer enjoy high-definition film and television, we bring you a full set of Potplayer-based high-definition film 64-bit tool chain complete configuration graphic detailed tutorial.

This tutorial spent a lot of effort to adjust the potplayer, to a large extent to correct the default settings of the Potplayer error, so that it can be with MPC-HC and mpc-be station to the same starting line, if it is too potplayer set trouble, please use MPC-HC and mpc-be collocation Madvr. If the Potplayer settings in Vcb-studio other player tutorials are in conflict with this article, this tutorial will prevail. If you can't see the picture, right-click on the picture-Open in a new tab to see a larger image.

Tool Installation Chapter

1. To avoid bugs caused by version confusion, this tutorial provides the full set of 64-bit tools:

Potplayer (player), LAV Filters (splitter/decoder), MADVR (video renderer), Xy-vsfilter (Universal subtitle plugin), Xy-subfilter (madvr dedicated subtitle plugin). Download Link: Baidu network disk Password: FVQ7

The installation path only allows pure English , otherwise some tools will not be used, it is recommended to build a plain English path folder tools, the above mentioned procedures are put in, easy to update and maintenance.

2, install Potplayer and LAV Filters.
Both are common EXE installation packages, double-click Launch, set the installation path to the Tools folder, the other installation options are all default.

3, install Madvr,xy-vsfilter or xy-subfilter.
Both are plug-ins, the installation method is: Unzip the package into the Tools folder, right-click on the respective Install.bat, run with administrator privileges, if you move these components will need to reinstall.

Potplayer Setup Chapter 1, graphics card driver settings.

N Card users open the Nvidia drive panel, adjust the dynamic range parameters in the red box to full, the output color depth of the blue box to 10BPC or 8BPC (depending on the monitor support), such as

Intel endorses users, setting the quantization range to full range:

AMD Graphics: New Setup interface, select Full RGB:

CCC Legacy Interface, also select Full RGB:

2. Potplayer option setting.

Let's use Potplayer to open a video, click the Tab key, bring up the OSD menu that comes with Potplayer, such as. This is the default scheme for Potplayer, read as "A piece of shit". Next we'll set it up, turn off all the slag built-in filters and replace them with our various external filters. the Pot built-in decoder in the blue box, we want to use lavfilters instead; The video renderer in the red box, referred to as EVR, is the slag that Windows charges, and almost all of the garbage players with the word "AV" in the name are it; the part of the Orange box is the Pot Built-in video processing filters out, do not know how it PS picture, it needs to be eliminated.

(1) Click the right mouse button in the Playback interface-options-play, open the Settings screen, start to adjust the Pot's progress bar , the red box in the part of the adjustment to the other options can also refer to the image changes.

(2) Cut to filter tab, close pot built-in filter (most important), prevent pot to blind the video, operation such as.

If the Potplayer built-in image filter is not turned off, the data has been cut from 10-bit to 8-bit loss accuracy before it is passed to MADVR, and it is useless to madvr inside again how high accuracy is. This point vcb-studio the biggest omission in the old version of Potplayer tutorial, which directly leads to the advent of this new tutorial.

(3) Expand the Filters tab, click the Source Filter/Splitter branch and start loading the plug-in lavfilters. Click the keys in the red box to manage the filters and decoders. Click on the red box after the search added, the left blue box will appear a bunch of decoders; Click OK to load lavfilters complete. After clicking OK, the interface closes and automatically returns to the source Filter/Splitter tab. The option with * is a plug-in filter/decoder. Replace all the options in the Red box with Lav Splitter Source, which cannot be switched to Lav, and the video decoder and audio decoder are followed, and all the items that can be converted to LAV are replaced with Lav. Next, personal filter Priority , Add caption Plugin xy-vsfilter (ie directvobsub, general) or Xy-subfilter (madvr dedicated). Before, for example, operation.

Priority setting, Directvobsub (auto-loading version) is set to mandatory use, is responsible for external subtitles, directvobsub set to priority use, is responsible for hanging subtitles.

Recommended to use MADVR classmate with Xy-subfilter, set the same method, the effect will be better, Bug also less points, support inside hang graphics subtitles, do not support external graphics subtitles.

If you want to automatically load captions, make sure that the subtitle file is the same as the file name of the frequently-viewed files.

Both of the above can be rendered inside and outside the text captions (such as the format of the "," and "SRT"), but cannot render external graphics subtitles (SUP and PGS). Please use the Pot built-in subtitle plugin for external graphic subtitles.

(Personal filter Priority this piece can implement some additional functions, such as some special effects code must use the Vsfiltermod; the SVP or AFM for the insertion frame need to be added here, but I strongly recommend not tossing these things. They can greatly increase the probability of bugs, and can also result in reduced precision, tearing, ghosting, and other irreparable imperfections, and the side effects are sufficient to counteract all of the efforts we have made to optimize picture quality. ）

(4) switch to the Video tab, set the default video renderer, and select MADVR. MADVR is the full name of Madshi video Renderer, is the most powerful Windows platform videos renderer, properly tuned to the effect comparable to the top Blu-ray machine, of course, consumption is not small.

Screen 1920x1080 resolution, the GTX 960/1050 Ti-level graphics card is sufficient to experience all the benefits of MADVR, the screen 2560x1440 or 3840x2160 resolution, the GTX 970/1060 3G level graphics card can enjoy all the benefits, G The TX 1060 6G is sufficient, and the GTX 1070 is more than enough.

(5) switch to the Color/Properties tab, set the Ycbcr<->rgb rule to auto-select .

(6) Audio renderer settings , according to some documents, Wsapi renderer than the Default Direct SoundDevice effect, with program exclusive, anti-interference, low latency advantages; It is recommended to turn off normalization to avoid Pot Change the volume without permission. Here's how it works:

After this step, potplayer Setup is complete, remember to click Apply and OK button, or white busy.

LAV and subtitle Settings Chapter

This section teaches you how to switch between video, audio, subtitle tracks, and how to set up a soft and hard solution.
Open a video at random, right-click on the Playback screen-properties to open this interface. Click on the Orange box to enter the video/Audio decoder settings screen.

(1) Video decoder LAV Decoder settings. LAV is divided into two sets of options, A scheme should be used with MADVR, B scheme with the default EVR (CP).
A: If you use madvr, the output Format in the Orange box is checked for all options except AYUV, and the RGB Output level pc;dither Mode is selected for Random. LAV The default setting is the case.

B: If you use EVR(Auto Select), the Output Format in the Orange box only tick the RGB24 option; (only for those who need power saving or poor graphics performance)

Why are madvr and EVR different?

Because MADVR can correctly handle all the data decoded by LAV , the LAV decoded data is best given to MADVR, which is one of the main reasons MADVR is known as the strongest video renderer. However, EVR only support processing 8-bit data , LAV decoded 10-bit YUV data will be EVR directly cut into 8-bit YUV processing, resulting in a significant reduction in accuracy, color bands flying, which is the pot default scheme read as a piece of sh It is one of the main reasons, if let LAV decoding 10-bit YUV to RGB24, that is, 8-bit RGB, and then feed EVR processing, can avoid the loss of precision.

The renderer madvr and EVR can be switched quickly in the pot's playback interface by right-clicking the video-video output device. While switching the renderer, remember to modify the corresponding LAV Video Decoder settings. again, a scheme with MADVR use, B scheme with potplayer default EVR use.

Many viewers who use MADVR are misled by this tutorial for non-madvr users , https://vcb-s.com/archives/4384 the RGB24 only, causing MADVR to not receive the correct data that the LAV decoded.

(2) Hard solution related settings. Decoding scheme Priority recommendation: CPU Soft solution > DXVA2 (copy-back) = Intel quicksnyc > D3d11 > DXVA2 (native) > NVIDIA cuvid. It is advisable not to use hard solutions, because occasionally bugs occur, and most people do not lack this CPU performance.

N-card GTX 950/GTX 960/GTX 1000 full series, A 4 series 5 Series, and Intel Seven generation (Kaby Lake) processor integrated graphics for hard-to-unlock HEVC 10-bit YUV420 video.

Common graphics cards can be hard-solved AVC 8-bit YUV420 video, all graphics cards can not be hard to solve AVC 10-bit video. This is followed by a demonstration of the HEVC 10-bit YUV420 video.

CPU Soft Solution + MADVR demonstration, note the output from the Active Decoder and red boxes in the green box:

The blue and green boxes are the decoder options, and if you use the CPU soft solution, none is selected, and if you use the graphics card GPU for hard solution, select DXVA2 (copy-back) or D3d11 or DXVA2 (native), a/n are available, which is better compatible, which saves CP U; If Intel is used, the Intel Quicksync;nvidia Cuvid is the only hard solution for N card, which is not used.

DVXA2 (native) hard solution + MADVR Demonstration:

The red box shows DXVA, in fact the output remains P010, and the Active Decoder in the Orange box supports this hard solution for the Dxva2n,ok table apparent card . DXVA2 (Copy-back) and other hard solutions are similar.

(3) LAV audio Decoder settings. only one need to be adjusted, tick Enable Mixing.

Since most people use dual-channel devices, when encountering 5.1-channel audio tracks, only the left/right two channels are received by the headset/stereo, and the other channels are discarded directly. So, in general, we should let the LAV multi-channel mixed into two channels (Stereo) and then output, play multi-channel audio local tyrants please feel free.

(4) subtitle processing, we have set up the above xy-vsfilter or Xy-subfilter subtitle plug-in, so to close Pot built-in slag title plugin , otherwise there will be two lines of the spectacle of subtitles, Right-click Subtitles-uncheck show subtitles. subtitles should be in the same directory as the video, and the same name as the video file, it will be loaded automatically, subtitles by directvobsub or xy-subfilter control, rather than Potplayer.

(5) Toggle Multi Caption Track/multi video/Polyphony track , use the LAV and subtitle plugin directvobsub or Xy-subfilter icon in the lower right corner of the taskbar. Many viewers do not know Vcb-studio and other suppression group produced BD often contains many audio tracks , such as the file name contains 2flac, FLAC_AAC, FLACX2 and other words of MKV, as well as the external mka. This means that the video has multiple audio tracks, either 5.1, or it may be a sound or staff commentary soundtrack, which can be switched on.

Toggle Audio Tracks can also be directly right-click-Sound-select sound to achieve, switch , video tracks the same, but multi-track is very common, and the multi-video track is almost invisible.

madvr Femdom Articles

The core strengths of MADVR are two:

1, high-precision data processing, to avoid distortion of the screen, resulting in ribbons, sawtooth and other defects;

2, high-quality scaling algorithm, in the chip source resolution is lower than the screen resolution, to provide clearer, sharper picture, the algorithm is even better than many advanced Blu-ray machine.

MADVR powerful, its tuning is also a great learning, this tutorial no longer repeat MADVR the specific steps, see the details of our previous MADVR tutorial: [Vcb-studio Popular Science Tutorial 2] MADVR renderer Configuration Tutorial

If the tutorial is not enough to meet your needs, please be patient and have the foundation to study: Perpetual freezer The strongest renderer--MADVR Setup Research

Above, the Potplayer-based high-quality player tool chain setup is complete, please enjoy the fun of HD video!

Common Bug resolution articles

1, why use MADVR full screen time will be black screen?

A: Black just a few seconds is normal, indicating that MADVR is switching to full-screen exclusive mode (fullscreen exlucsive mode, referred to as the FSE model), this mode has some advantages, such as preventing screen tearing. But in fact, we recommend that you turn off FSE mode because it brings more trouble than benefits.

If you don't like the FSE mode, you can turn it off in madvr by unchecking the MADVR Control Panel, rendering, general settings, and enable automatic full Screen exlucsive mode option.

2. Why does the full-screen FSE mode point mouse/Emergency track/toggle subtitle/Pull progress bar screen will flash?

A: Because full screen mode is for you to see the video, any action should be pressed in the ENTER key or click the middle mouse button back to the window mode.

In addition, full-screen mode can be easily controlled with the keyboard, such as ←/→ default back/forward 5s;ctrl +←/ctrl +→ default back/forward 30s;ctrl + Pageup/ctrl + PageDown default back/forward/Next chapter, these practical Shortcut keys can be found and customized in the Potplayer settings.

3, why EVR and MADVR when the switch will be stuck dead?

A: During playback, switching between the madvr renderer and the EVR renderer may cause the card to die, so it is recommended to switch between pauses when possible. Similarly, any switch subtitles, audio tracks and other operations, if there is a problem, you should pause the operation, if not, try to close the video, reopen.

4, why do I follow the tutorial settings and such a Bug?

A: The safest way to do this is to use the installation package provided at the beginning of this tutorial and follow the tutorial to reset Potplayer from the beginning. Potplayer itself is a big problem, the version number is so many, import reg file caused by a variety of bugs, do not know. But follow the steps in this article to set up from scratch, at least to minimize the probability of the problem. I've set up LAV + Potplayer + madvr on many computers, and I've never had a Bug in the first step.

5, how to cooperate with this tutorial program using the frame/speed play//recording and other functions?

A: Hands-on, clothed, most of the above functions can be achieved by Potplayer itself, but it is not guaranteed to use after madvr. The purpose of this tutorial is to provide the basic perfect video playback function, is for the enjoyment of the video, not to toss, it is not possible for a variety of details of the needs of the custom adjustment, I personally particularly dislike the insertion frame and speed play. Moreover, even if we have a heart, the player itself may not be able to achieve.

6. Why is my picture upside-down? Why is my madvr always crumbling?

A: These two problems are mostly caused by xy-vsfilter, because Xy-vsfilter has a lot of bugs, this tutorial with Xy-vsfilter as a subtitle plugin purely to take care of users who are unable to use MADVR. Therefore, as long as your computer can run MADVR, I strongly recommend the use of MADVR + xy-subfilter combination . A variety of subtitle plugins are now beta version, MADVR is also, if there is a problem, in addition to update to the latest version, there is no better way. Not really. Then use the player to bring it, MPV, MPC-HC and mpc-be with the subtitle plug-in is still used, Potplayer Huangmai comes with the subtitle function reluctantly, but after yellowing is a lump of shit.

7, Potplayer too easy to collapse, there is no solution?

A: Replace Potplayer with MPC-HC or mpc-be with MADVR, they are essentially the same. At the beginning of this article, it was emphasized that Potpalyer's advantage lies in its friendly user interface, which potpalyer so much of the tuning, just to get it to the level of MPC-HC or mpc-be default settings. But even after so many adjustments, Potpalyer's probability of collapse is still greater than MPC-HC or mpc-be. If you can set Potplayer successfully as per this tutorial, it is not a problem to set the MPC-HC or mpc-be with more concise options.
