GREAT GUIDE !!!

As a code/filter n00b i've been trying and trying for weeks to improve image quality. Today i found out that the Cyberlink Video/SP Decoder (PDVD7) gives me way better quality on TV then the MPV Decoder Filter. Finally my scrollbars (especially RTL7 for the dutchies) are cristal clear now and no blurring. With the help of the guide the quality even got better.

My Plasma is limited to 1024x768 resolution but with resize & aspect @ 2048x1536 it looks nearly like HD quality.

TNX again and maybe there should be a good codec/filter guide in the wiki section for all of us trying to improve image quality within MP. Job well done!

Any suggestions appreciated, as ffdshow has really improved the quality of the picture!
Thanks
Just did a new install today with the RC1 version and a clean OS on my system and i ran into the same problems while using ffdshow to resize (2x tv resolution) the resolution.



When you select "No aspect ratio correction" on the button of the above screen the stretch function will work.

The settings look OK. You can always change the zoom mode within MP while playback to check what suits you best. Just hit S or blue button while playback.

Flip.
I have a question about the screen resolution. Should I double the resolution of the lcd tv or the output signal of the htpc. My tv has a resolution of 1366x768 but doesn't accept this resolution over hdmi (nor 1360x768). Max 1280x720 is accepted. So should I resize to 2732x1536 or 1560x1440 for best quality?
