Question ugh.. can i please watch all my movies at 60fps? ya'd think we have the tech by now.

[ARICH5]

simple. i have a 60fps monitor and a gpu. i want all my movies in 60fps.

im seeing a huge confusion bteween 4k and 60fps. its not 4k! i want all movies in 60fps.

how can i achieve that?

Smooth Video player can do that.

Pardon the noob question, but aren't movies shot in 24 or 25 FPS, so you can only watch them at that frame rate, no?

Software can calculate and insert additional frames between existing ones, that way increasing frame rate.
Similar way as Nvidia DLSS 3 frame generation works.

 

[Dimitri001]

But you don't gain any new information that way, you don't gain a better image. It's just duplicating existing frames.

No. It is calculating in-between frames. Not duplicating existing frames.

You gain soap opera effect with increased frame rate.

But you don't gain any new information that way, you don't gain a better image. It's just duplicating existing frames.

As a simple example of how frame interpolation works, let's say we have this simple 3x1 frame. The X is the leftmost spot

X

In the next frame, the X is in the rightmost spot

X

With simple frame interpolation, you stick a frame between these two, but put the X in the middle

X

If we wanted to get really into this though, most movies are encoded in a way there's only a whole frame every so often (called the I-frames). The subsequent pictures are generated using motion vectors stored in the frames afterwards. This can either be unidirectional P-frames, or bi-directional B-frames. This is why if you skip around in video players, you'll sometimes see the picture smear for a bit.

So even without AI generation, you can use this information to build additional frames by simple interpolation.

Yup, this!

Or get a TV as a secondary monitor, one with in-build soap opera effect, and one that is smart,in fact forget about your PC.

4k is resolution and 60fps is framerate.

I am not sure where (other) posters are going on that side slant unless I have completely missed a critical bit of information that I am not seeing.

These movies you want to watch at 60FPS...where are they from, what source?

What player are you using to view them? Are you viewing directly from the file on the local machine, or streaming from a different PC or storage space?
If not local, what device is performing the encoding?

Is this for the sake of compression? So it only takes a few whole frames from the raw data for the sake of reducing filesize and then the player generates the inbetween ones on playback?

 

[TerryLaze]

4k is resolution and 60fps is framerate.

4k increases the demand on the bandwidth the PC the cable and the monitor have to support and 60FPS also increases the demand on the bandwidth the PC the cable and the monitor have to support.

 

[drivinfast247]

Bandwidth is the capacity for data transfer in a communications system.

It's the capacity for data transfer in anything that is digital.
They call it bit rate or data rate, it's all the same thing.
And HDMI cables have different data rates and GPUs only support up to a certain amount of data rate on any port and so do the displays.

HDMI or High Definition Multimedia Interface, is a specification that combines video and audio into a single digital interface.

Yes. In general the whole idea of video compression is to only store the changes between frames, not the actual frames themselves. If you're watching say an anime or something and only the characters are moving, it's incredibly wasteful to store the information around the characters every frame when it doesn't change at all. A similar thing can be applied to live action video.

HDMI or High Definition Multimedia Interface, is a specification that combines video and audio into a single digital interface.

A specification is a requirement which is clearly stated, for example about the necessary features in the design of something.

i apologize, i shouldve said something sooner..

when i had svp pro EVERY video i had played in 60fps. it upscaled all youtube, mp4, mkv and avi in 60fps. but now that the service went to paid content it is no longer available for the masses.

its called the soap opera fps. god i miss it. check the svp website. all 60fps video is now NOT available.

yes i know about madvr upscaling deinterlacing and mpc-64 but there is no service available anymore.
