madVR wiki thread
SamuriHL:
Finally upgraded to MC16 and got this setup on my laptop. madshi, you know my laptop specs and how painful it's been to get madVR to work on it in general, but, I'm happy to report that I've been able to get MC16/madVR/ffdhsow/lavf splitter/cyberlink video decoder (HAM mode) to work perfectly together. Thank you so much for supporting this! This is a powerful combination!

Indeed! The progress that has been made in the last couple weeks alone has been tremendous. MC16 is extremely impressive and when coupled with the other pieces, well,as I said, extremely powerful. I look forward to doing more testing in my environment in the coming days.

BTW, I want to add to what's been posted in this thread. Those without a fast CPU aren't excluded from using madVR anymore. AMD users can use the Cyberlink Video Decoder in HAM mode for GPU decoding of video. nVidia owners have LAV CUVID which also does GPU decoding. Both of these options are compatible with madVR and work with MC16.

But madVR doesn't really require a fast CPU. madVR currently likes a "fast" GPU shader arch good texture fill rates. In fact, one of the great things about madVR (beyond smoothness and scaling quality) is that if your sources are mostly SD or even lower bitrate HD, CPU requirements are very modest.
One of my playback test machines is using an Athlon II 620, downclocked and downvolted to .93v and 1.6Ghz (using K10Stat) with an older ATI card (HD2600XT). It will happily play BD (24p) and HD MKVs flawlessly all day long. It will not do 60p material with this profile.
Attached see the "stats" while playing back an BD rip into MKV.
