madVR is a utility tool whose role is to enhance the quality of videos while using a compatible media player.

All you need to do is install this piece of software on your computer and select madVR as your favorite renderer in the media player’s settings.

Among the media players which offer support for madVR we mention MPC-HC, KMPlayer, Zoom Player and Daum PotPlayer.

The main features of this GPU assisted video renderer are high-quality scaling, chroma upsampling, YCbCr to RGB conversion, full 16bit processing queue, gamut & gamma correction for display calibration, and final 16bit processing result dithered down to RGB output bitdepth.

All the actions are performed via GPU shaders and obtaining the highest quality is top priority for madVR.

This application has some limitations as well as capabilities, although in the future updates will probably add more to the features of madVR: it does not support subtitles yet and the DVD playback with navigation menu is only available in XP.

Other features not supported are hardware accelerated video decoding (DXVA) and hardware accelerated deinterlacing (DXVA).

madVR is a tool worth trying for all media enthusiasts who want to get the best out of their video files. Videos have a crispier look and the graphic card works at its full potential so your movies look a lot more like real life.

The latest updates have added new capabilities to madVR:

* modified/simplified HDR tone mapping settings page
* small HDR tone mapping saturation improvement
* OSD now also shows the measured luminance of the current frame (in addition to the average)
* fixed: render & present queues didn't always fill in Windows 10 build 1803
* fixed: using XySubFilter sometimes resulted in black screen / freeze
* fixed: using HDR "processing" resulted in dark and red-ish image
* fixed: using BT.601/709 gamma curve with HDR tone mapping produced gray-ish image
* fixed: settings dialog sometimes crashed on display mode / custom mode tab

The MadVR renderer is great. Video looks crisper and clearer, and it makes terrific use of the graphics card you're using. However, there are a few issues which I have with this particular renderer. First and foremost, when I use it, it is somewhat slow when seeking through most media files. When switching to a different renderer, I no longer have this problem. So the seek function should definitely be improved and fixed in future releases.

In addition, I'm disappointed there is NO 64-bit version of the renderer available right now. Hopefully the developer is planning to take care of this soon, as I do not intend on further using 32-bit media players on a 64-bit version of Windows.

Otherwise, it's a great piece of software and I definitely recommend trying it out.
