[m4r3k]

hi boys

i want use xvid codec as primary decoder for xvid movies
but i cant set it in options, xvid codec missing...
available are only nvidia,intervideo,mpgeg2filter etc. decoders..

is possible put xvid codec to decoder list in options ?

Hi,

the settings in MP-Configuration are for MPEG files only.

XviD decoder is used automatically if you play an AVI. So there is no need to have an option for this in the setup.

and for show subtitles is (auto load from same directory as avi file)
good only VobSub ?? or is any other way ?

[FlipGer]

Hi,

I do not use subtitles in AVIs so I am the wrong person to ask. Please do a search in the forum. Afaik there are some topics about it.

Imho it should work with VOBSUB and FFDSHOW.

HTH, Flip.

bro i try compare xvid movies pic. quality in BSPlayer (im 100% sure is used xvid codec for decode avi) and in MediaPortal and pic quality is more blurred then i think for xvid must be user other mpeg2 codec

[FlipGer]

Hi,

to check what codec is in use, you have to use GEdit:
http://www.stokebloke.com/video/wmv2avi.php

- start GEdit
- start MP
- start a XviD
- In GEdit: File->Connect to Remote Graph

And different picture quality in different players must not mean that they use different codecs. Players do also much postprocessing (deinterlace, sharpen, unsharpen, saturation, etc.).

MP uses WMP as internal player, so you might compare picture quality between those players. And MP surely does not use a MPEG2 codec to decode XviD! It might use a different XviD decoder. But this deppends on windows. This can be manupilated by the so called MERIT.

oke bro you have right, i check with GEdit and is used xvid codec

but output video rendering is not Overlay but WMR-9 .. this is the difference when im play video over BSPlayer ...

thanx for your help m8

btw. can i change output rendering in MP to Overlay ?

[m4r3k]

second question is how change brightnees/contrast/saturation ?

i can change it in graphics card color correction as overlay but this dont work

[FlipGer]

Hi,

MP only supports VMR9. Overlay was kicked, because its a old technology causing some problems. So you have to stick with VMR9.

To change color / saturation / brightness you have the 3D settings of your graphics card color correction.

HTH, Flip.

and MP use standart VMR9 or VMR9-renderless ? (i try set VMR9-renderless in BSPlayer and output picture quality is a lot of blurred

normal VMR9 do something with outpot quality?

big thanx for help and your time FlipGer! :wink:
