MPC VideoRenderer with code to enable RTX Video HDR.

(note: may break when used with non-HDR displays, only recommended if all displays on your system are HDR!)

Thanks to clsid2 for initial work on adding it to MPC-VR.

Setup:

  • Extract the ZIP to somewhere you want to install the renderer (make sure not to move/delete it afterwards or video renderer will break)
    (if upgrading from previous version, recommend overwriting your previous install & following the rest of this guide)

  • Right click the Install_MPCVR_32.cmd file and choose Run as Administrator, same for Install_MPCVR_64.cmd.

  • Inside MPC-HC, go to View > Options > Playback > Output, and pick MPC Video Renderer from the dropdown list.
    (for MPC-BE this should be under View > Options > Video)

  • Open your video decoder filter settings (MPC-HC: View > Options > Internal Filters > Video decoder button), change Hardware Decoder to use to D3D11, and in the Hardware Device to use drop-down pick your video card (doesn't seem to work if set to automatic!)

  • Press OK to all dialogs and then close down your player (usually needs to close down for it to change renderer properly)

  • Finally open a video file, now enabling/disabling the SuperRes & HDR options in NVIDIA Control Panel while a video is playing should have a noticeable difference.

  • It's recommended to follow the steps at bottom of #1 (comment) to automatically convert any P01X content to a format that VSR has better support for.

While this can enable HDR, for some reason the default MPC-VR settings might not enable VSR despite user enabling it inside NVCP, you may need to open the VideoRenderer settings window and enable super-res from there (MPC-BE: View > Options > Video > Properties).
