8. Changed: Video positioning happens in the video playback graph thread instead of the main thread (guess as to madVR hanging issue; please report results).

4. Fixed: Added file association "trp" so these video files will now play with Red October.
5. Fixed: Downloading videos from YouTube would not get the title.

5. NEW: Option to automatically change display settings according to video frame rate when starting a video.

Does it do this on its own or do I need to create the custom frame rates in the nVidia control panel?

Is the selection overridden by madVR custom resolution settings?

Avi, mp4, divx = ok.

MkV is choking. it will be new version of ffdshow?!!!

Mkv not show subtitle.

Do you understand?

1. Update your library so frame rate field ("FPS") is populated for each video.
2. Go to Options > Video, check the "Enable Automatic display settings changing" checkbox, and select which display setting you want for a given frame rate.

MC will make the change before starting to play a video, and restore to your desktop setting after the video is stopped.

Great news on the auto refresh rate changer.
Will it work reading a DVD, Blu-Ray straight from optical discs? I tried playing a 50hz dvd, but couldn't get it to change automatically from default desktop 60hz. I've set it up properly and monitor does support these refresh rates. Thanks

PS Big Thanks for that little bit of extra volume in JRSS downmix!! sounds great, awesome stuff!

At the moment the switch only happens based on the FPS tag, so optical discs played directly won't trigger the switch.

Using Red October and during playback, the right mouse button does not work. Otherwise, this release seems to work better than the last several. Red October HQ also works better that the last several builds, with less jerky motion. And the right mouse button works with HQ.

This sounds very interesting but how does one learn about refresh rates,can someone enlighten me on what display to use.

only a few of my FPS fields have filled in.

The new auto refresh is missing 23hz. my Intel HD graphics supports it, but is not on the auto refresh list.

I'm seeing this too (seems to be missing "custom resolutions")
