Everyone can agree on VLC being the best video player, right?
until vlc has a MadVR quality equivalent, no. youre objectively having a worse visual renderer.
MadVR? does it work with Valve Index? nothing seems to work with my damn index
Despite the name, MadVR doesn't have anything to do with virtual reality. It's a no-compromise video renderer that uses custom shaders to play media instead of the GPU's built in codecs, with the goal to display content at the absolute highest quality possible.
uses custom shaders to play media
WHAT. As a shader script kiddy, holy shit, that just blew my mind.
Fuck Unity. Their engine sucks anyway.
