Another issue: Are you using multimonitor? Disable all monitors except the one displaying anime. Discordant-Hz multimonitor causes major framepacing problems, it's a Microsoft issue that Microsoft needs to fix eventually.

So tried bakamplayer smplayer and mpv, but i dont see where I can enter that.
I tried entering it to bakamplayer command line and it said
[baka]: invalid command '--video-sync=display-resample --interpolation'

I tried with an without multimonitor, doesnt seem to be the cause of the problem.

In smplayer, open the preferences. In the "advanced" section (it's the last one), go to the "mplayer/mpv" tab. Enter these options in the "options" field. Without quotes.

If you want the highest quality filters too, then you can copy my options:

Code: Select all

--video-sync=display-resample --interpolation --profile=gpu-hq --blend-subtitles=video --scale=ewa_lanczossharp --dscale=mitchell
In Baka, I think you have to edit an ini file. It's probably easier to just use smplayer. I haven't looked up how to do this exactly in Baka.

MPV is tweakable to an absurd amount. There's a crapton of options, documented here:

Doesnt seem to have changed anything at all.

Wait, I had a typo in the options. A missing "-". Copy them again.

Also, make sure you switched your desktop to 60Hz. As said previously, 120Hz or 144Hz will not work.

No change at all. I had also tried "--video-sync=display-resample --interpolation"
I dont think that options line is having any effect for me

Are you sure it's a 24FPS video you're trying to watch? Press Shift+i to display video information. It will list the video's FPS.

It is indeed 24. And my monitor is 120hz atm.

I downloaded mpv, added a video file to the folder and

Code: Select all

mkv --video-sync=display-resample --interpolation --profile=gpu-hq -blend-subtitles=video --scale=ewa_lanczossharp --dscale=mitchell --loop-file asd.mkv
did work. i can easily notice the difference. now all i need to do is to get a gui that actually works for me, i cant type out a 5 paragraph essay every time i will watch a video.

Maybe you made a mistake in smplayer and instead of "mpv" you have selected "mplayer?"
