I'll keep this short as madVR setup questions get asked a lot, but seemingly answers are pretty hard to come by for specific cases.
I'm wondering if there are any ways I can improve my current madVR settings, in particular so that the handling of motion is optimal. I have quite a few DVDs of full baseball games, they are official releases so are nice quality for SD, but I have a 4k OLED monitor and I tend to watch them at either 3x or 4x (2880x1920). My current settings are based on reading a decent amount of madVR setup guides over the last couple of years but not really having much knowledge of how I would optimise for a particular type of content. Are there any ways I can modify my settings to improve rendering this video at ideally 4x resolution, with an emphasis on how motion is handled (due to the content). I prefer a slightly softer image over an oversharpened image .which is aliased/has other artifacts.
Mediainfo for the content in question (Ripped the disc with MakeMKV, then just grabbed the files from the .iso and -> .mkv using MKVToolnix), removed irrelevant lines to condense

rendering: dithering: error diffusion option 2, change dither for every frame

To be clear, I'm not unhappy with how MPC-HC + madVR has been rendering this and other content like this, just wondering if there are any easy modifications I can make that will improve it for this type of content specifically. Thanks
