[QUOTE="madshi, post: 775875, member: 114920"] In other words you want the renderer to just do the color conversion and scaling etc, but you want to do the presentation yourself? It would be possible to add such a rendering mode option to madVR, but it would bypass a lot of carefully implemented presentation code. Presentation is an important part of madVR. If we bypass that, we lose some of the things that make madVR better than other renderers. Here's a list of things that we would lose: - most importantly: smooth playback without any judder/stuttering - automatic windowed <-> exclusive mode switching - automatic display mode changing - 3:2 stutter removal for 24fps playback on 60Hz displays - support for true 10bit output - internal Reclock replacement without any audio quality loss (by doing the adjustments on the video side of things) - black/dark frame insertion The bottom 4 features are not implemented in madVR yet, but might eventually come in a future version (or not). Maybe you can implement some of these things inside MediaPortal, but you'd practically have to reinvent what madVR already does (or will eventually do). Wouldn't it be possible to allow madVR to take care of the presentation? I could add all kinds of callbacks which would allow you to draw under and over the video frame etc. That's no problem at all. But losing the presentation part of madVR would be a substantial loss, IMHO. [/QUOTE]
