Screen tearing with disabled Desktop Composition (Aero)

[Zero3K]

How do I fix it? I am using the latest nightly of it and MPC-BE.

1 - Show screenshot with Statistics(Ctrl+J) in MPC-BE. 2 - Record video from desktop to view on "tearing".

Here's a screenshot of the Statistics in MPC-BE:

Turn on Aero (Desktop Composition).

[Zero3K]

I am using the classic theme. So, that's not possible.

1 - Try change "Swap effect" to Flip. 2 - Try this build https://yadi.sk/d/XQXeY6QjJB6hdg

I think that build made it worse. You can try searching for and downloading the video I was playing on animetosho.rg and see if you can replicate it.

I don't have Windows 7 & don't use classic theme. With Aero and on Windows 10 - perfect playback.

MPC Video Renderer works correctly only with the active Desktop Window Manager.

1. It only happens during certain animations, not all the time.
2. The DWM service is running.

Disable subtitles output.

[Zero3K]

1. I tried that but it didn't help.
2. I have no screen tearing when using the Sync Video Renderer.

2. The DWM service is running.

Turn on Aero, then DWM will really work.

You can also try enabling VSync in the settings of the video driver.

I don't have the ability to change it.

[Aleksoid1978]

Why ? You don't have admin access to you PC ?

[Zero3K]

Any updates regarding this issue?

[Aleksoid1978]

Yes - enable Aero.

[Zero3K]

I am not going to enable Aero.

[Aleksoid1978]

Ok - don't use it's project :)

Any plans to ever implement an optional custom VSync algorithm like in EVR CP/Sync? That would solve this issue.

Detecting if DWM composition is disabled is easy: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/dwmapi/nf-dwmapi-dwmiscompositionenabled

Custom VSync not planned. And - I don’t want spend my time for classic themes :)

[Aleksoid1978]

Try this build MPCVideoRenderer-v0.4.10.1473_git2020.11.14-f942987.zip

[Zero3K]

That doesn't help.

[Aleksoid1978]

Ok. So - enable Aero or don’t use VR.
