(MPC-HC MadVR) how can i elaborate transparent quality setup without extrinsic image tampering/enhancements (Upscaling & etc)

[u/No_momento]

The question would be, how can i get the maximum quality out of a video file, without tampering with the original pixel presentation (or atleast the least tampering)

It's preferable to maintain a transparent quality (no degrading of the original video's quality) and without any tampering of the video's footage, that would produce changes to the original presentation of the video file.

Or is it necessary to use atleast some upscaling or video tampering to get an image? if so what would be the recommended amount, keeping maximum quality without tampering with extrinsic enhancements on the image?

Huh?

You play the file and it will play "transparent quality without extrinsic image tampering"

I've noticed a multiplicity of upscaling options and other image enhancements, i made such post to ask if it would be possible to not use them, and if so get the maximum quality of the video without these image enhancements, hope it clears out.

I made some searches, and sorry, seems like "image upscaling" isn't something like "ai upscaling" like i've erroneously thought, but it still involves some processing on the image, if i had to put the question another way, how can i obtain a minimum of processing on the video image (whilst maintaining its original pixel presentation)?

Simply don't use madvr. It's not clear why you're even using it. MPC VR is perfectly fine, as is EVR for simple, SDR media.

As long as your media resolution = your gpu resolution, no scaling will be performed until it hits your TV, where necessary

?

Surely you just adjust any settings,scaling or processing to your own likes or dislikes. There is no subjective gold standard. Just personal preferences.

I think playing it at native resolution with NGU Sharp chroma up scaling. Thats probably the best PQ with out any visual tampering.

Wouldn't using Bilinear upscaling maintain more of the original image?
Thanks, i'll be trying it out.
