    The new VMR9 settings in the latest SVN, what are the differences and which is best?

    Point, Bilenear, Anisotropic, Pyrimidal Quad or Gaussian Quad Filtering.

    As MP's GUI is D3D (all elements are D3D), those settings might affect the "beauty" of the GUI rendering. Video won't be affected by this, for that you have the deinterlacer settings in your codecs.

    In which case there may be a bug with either the Nvidia driver I'm using or MP. When I turn the settings up, TV begins to stutter like mad when there are no GUI elements on the screen.
    I suspect MP as the TV2000 application doesn't suffer from this.

    Playing with these settings caused me lots of trouble, sluggish MP performance everywhere. So I set High Peformance and no FSAA and no AF and MP is fast and I couldn't see any difference in quality on my CRT monitor.

    Hi, I added those options. The newest vmr9 settings change the resizing algorithm to take advantage of your underlying video hardware. Your results may vary. Ideally, you should turn on non-square mixing and choose gaussian quad filter. There is currently not any checking to make sure your video card can actually implement the settings, so you may want to look in the logs and see if there is an error (search for string DX)

    I have looked at your log files, but as usual they are unintelligible gobbledegook. (I am sure that the original developers who wrote that code know what the log entries mean, but those developers have long since retired from the MP team.)
