For some reason CCCP has been shitting itself on my PC for a while now - causing it to crash when I watch anything. What's the community standard for codecs and players nowadays? Been a while since I've used anything but MPC-HC + CCCP.
mpv - MOST POWERFUL VIDEO

Already use mpv on my linux partition (dual-booting pleb because muh vidya). Should have specified I meant for Windows. Unless it is on Windows nowadays?

MPC-HC + MadVR + xysubfilter is the Windows standard. Uninstall CCCP, then install MPC-HC, MadVR and xysubfilter.

There've been Windows builds available for years.

CHALLENGE: Produce an equally sharp mpv upscale of this with as little noise/artifacting as this MadVR upscale. /g/ has failed this challenge in two post limit threads. Source is [Doki]_Yuru_Yuri_-_07v2_(1280x720_h264_BD_AAC)_[DF080EE5]

Use VLC, it's better.

Source image attached. You must post repeatable mpv settings to qualify for this challenge. MadVR settings for >>158197591 are NGU AA medium image upscaling, debanding on high, adaptive sharpen and crispen edges under upscaling refinement on 1.0, anti-ringing filter enabled under upscaling refinement, and AMD videocard denoising enabled with RadeonMod. You may use mpv's dn3dhq as a substitute for AMD denoising; it will have an equivalent effect on this frame as I have already tested it.
>in b4 it looks like shit, oilpainty, etc.
Your subjective opinion is irrelevant here. This is a technology test to see if mpv is capable of producing as sharp of an upscale without noise or artifacting.

There are builds of mpv for Windows but their upscaling algorithms are inferior to MadVR's NGU AA. That being said, mpv is faster than MadVR with equivalent settings. mpv's subtitle renderer is also faster than xysubfilter or MPC-HC's internal renderer, especially with animated subtitles like karaoke OPs.
MadVR is better for good PCs and mpv is better for toasters.
