  • madvr installer? madvr.com redirects to madvrenvy.com
    Where can I download latest madvr installer? madvr.com is inaccessible and only redirects to madvrenvy.com but installer is nowhere there. Any help? Source: 5 months ago
  • Rarbg down, seemingly, for good
    I have always just loaded my 4k HDR content onto an external hard drive and played directly off that. If you're using an HDMI and have the HDMI ULTRA HD Deep Color setting on, give PotPlayer with the madVR plug-in a try. Source: 11 months ago
  • NVIDIA RTX Video Super Resolution is now supported by VLC media player - VideoCardz.com
    Most hardcore anime fans that I know usually use MadVR. Will need to check and see if RTX VSR does a good job when it comes to anime content. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Problem with DTS-HD MA or even anything that uses DTS
    I use K-Lite Codec Pack (https://codecguide.com/download_kl.htm). It includes Media Player Classic Home Cinema (https://github.com/clsid2/mpc-hc) and that's my preferred playback application for local files. I would recommend full or mega as that includes MadVR (https://madvr.com/) which I feel in most cases is the best renderer available. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Nvidia’s latest GPU drivers can upscale old blurry YouTube videos
    For VLC I don't know, but with MPC-HC you can use madVR [0]. My preferred setup is mpv [1] with a few shaders [2] such as FSRCNNX [3] and Krig Bilateral.
