Title: What video playback software do ya'll use..
Post by: tp4tissue on Mon, 22 December 2014, 20:42:37: I've been hardcore mpchc since madvr..

Before Madvr, I was all into VLC,

and before VLC, I was on that zoomplayer, because my cpu wasn't fast enough for 1080p, so I used my gpu for dxva..

It has more to do with ****ty digital copies then the playback software. I can download a movie at 1080p and my 720p dvd version will always look better. No gross pixalation or shadow artifacts like you get from digital copies. Also, having a decent monitor helps.

Nope, but the next best is roughly the same.

No SSD.

Before that KMPlayer.

Before that GOMPlayer.

Before that a variety of players, including VLC.

Check out mpv.

It is mplayer2 but coded better, with an optional HUD, ipc commands (nice for scripting), and support for streaming videos (via youtube-dl).

Well.. in terms of the best-playback quality (visually).. most enthusiast concur that MPC-HC + Madvr scalar does the best job..

VLC and MPC-HC by themselves alone will play all formats, but Madvr scalar is what makes sure your file is projected on your monitor Correctly..

madvr only works on MPC-hc

Um.. well.. there's a very slight learning curve, but almost always, the largest hurdle is the diversity of hardware that people have..

but... overall.... anything with 700+ gpubench score will work fine.. Preferably something with 3000 + will be much better..

? I thought it being only a renderer it was compatible with any 32bit player.

PotPlayer (https://potplayer.daum.net/). Handles everything, loads of options, nice default UI, and has video/frame/audio capture built-in. AviSynth scripts are also supported, amongst other advanced options.
