NEW: Enhancements in JRVR Video Renderer
dwalme:
Quick question on JRVR.
With MadVR I set my PC video card to output PC Level 0-255 RGB. I then configure MadVR to work in video level (16-235). This preserves WTW (whiter than white) output and gets accurate output from my video card. Downside to this is the desktop is always displaying the wrong video levels but for a dedicated HTPC it's not an issue.
(TV is configured for 16-235 video levels to match the output from MadVR)
Does JRVR support video level output (16-235) while the video card is configured to output PC levels (0-255).

No it does not.
See these posts by @SamuriHL for a good discussion/explanations of the issues:

Rendering in limited range basically means lying to the graphics card, which is usually not a good place to be in. Its a bit of an edge case, and BTB and WTW are not meant to be seen on the final image anyway (if you could see them, that would mean you are not using the full potential for actual image data).
It wouldn't be very complicated to support such a mode, but for the time being I'm trying to avoid it, as its much simpler to just run at full range all the time, and let the graphics card deal with anything else.

When playing a title "Right Click --> Window-->" to bring up the options to Crop Black Bars / Override Aspect Ratio etc. The good news is that you only need to do this once and MC will remember the settings for next time it is played. These playback preferences are stored in a Field called "Playback Info" and you can even copy this data from one title to another. It's not automatic but it does work.

Sorry for late reply(by any standards) but i am aware of this option from day one of using MC . As someone who has in his library 7k+ untouched blu-ray rip video songs in pass thru quality of varying pillar boxing to test the available options , i can assure you that not only is the above process cumbersome but unreliable as well when it comes to non standard pillar boxing in some weird blu-rays. The automatic cropping and stretching of pillar boxed 1080p videos from say 1920x1080p to cropped 1920 x816p( this sometimes varies within the same blu-ray) and then stretching it to Full Screen 1920x1080p Full HD using Jinc scalers in MadVR is something i cannot afford to compromise. Varying width of black bars within the same blu-ray can only be handled by the automatic black bar detection/cropping in madVR with the option to report the changes to MC at every black bar change ticked ON.
