MPC-HC dropping frames

Last one, hopefully someone sees something not quite right with my settings, or has some clue as to why I'm dropping frames

Install K-lite codec pack?

>>373532
that's deprecated though, I was trying to get the most up to date installation and this was the only guide I could find. I could try it and see if I'm still dropping frames, but I'd like to use the individual components myself instead of relying on codec packs.

You can't have your cake and eat it, OP.

You need to actually set up your monitor's refresh rates to match your video, or it will just drop frames to make up the difference.

>>373535
The guide I was following had this checked, and most guides that were older did too, does this mean there's an acceptable level of dropped frames? And is 4-13fps in that range? Or should I be getting 0 dropped frames for the best playback?

>>373536
I'll parse through that thread, it sounds a little complex for my pea brain but I'll give it a read

>>373539
An acceptable level of dropped frames is 1-2 per hour.

You're dropping 10% of your frames, which means your refresh rate is set to a completely different rate than the video.

well it looks like this guide >>373536 will be useful, I need a nap and I'll try it out, will report back with results

Fingers crossed and thanks guys

OP here, reporting back

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE I don't fucking get it
tried >>373536 and I'm still dropping frames out the ass. Busted out my old desktop and my laptop and tried fresh installs on all of these as well. Same shit happens across all three systems, here's the data I gathered

>When I install all components from there most up to date versions, regardless of configurations, I drop 4-13 frames every second
>out of curiosity I uninstalled all of those, installed KCP and K-lite independently and with both the stock settings AND reconfigured to match the settings I was using when I had the most recent versions of madvr, xysubfilter, mpc-hc, and LavFilters, and the results? Running almost exactly the same settings, the codec packs both dropped only a few frames at the start and up to five throughout thirty minutes of playback, even though as you can see it reports one dropped every ~11 seconds (the counter never went up so I'm not sure what's with this disparity)
>however, the independently installed components all configured exactly the same still drop frames

I literally cannot fathom what is going on outside one of the more up-to-date components being buggy

tasukete!!!

I had a little breakthrough, kinda

I narrowed it down to these settings:
Anti-ringing filter being enabled here >>373504
Anything being enabled here >>373505
Anti-ringing being enabled in any of the scaling algorithms >>373509 >>373511 >>373513

When even one of these are on, it starts dropping frames, otherwise it's fine (although it's still estimating 1 frame dropped every ~11 seconds despite the dropped frame counter not going up)

What could this mean? Is my CPU not powerful enough for software decoding?

It drops frames to match the video to your monitor.

Anime is 24fps.
Windows is 60fps.
24 is not a factor of 60.

You need to add a 72Hz custom mode for your monitor and use it whenever anime is being played.
