Video better in MC20?

<< < (2/2)

Hendrik:
In theory it can be used on Windows, but I have no idea why anyone would want to.

It'll not beat madVR, there is years of development to catch up on there, and the new one is based on OpenGL, which is not ideal on Windows, DirectX is usually faster and more reliable.

Plus, at least at first, the new OpenGL playback engine will severely lack features, and will need months to catch up to the Red October/DirectShow stuff.

JimH:
Hendrik is sandbagging.

While it may not compete with madVR at the high-end, I wonder how it might compare to Red October Standard.
On lower-end systems, configuring madVR to a high performance state (faster scaling choices, enabling all the performance/quality trade-offs etc.) can actually work better than ROStd - but getting it to that state is not a user-friendly process.
 
The new renderer might be a viable alternative to that?

JimH:
Let's give Hendrik time to see what it can do.

Since its OpenGL based it wouldn't support native DXVA2, which especially for low end systems makes it kinda impractical.
