[QUOTE="kszabo, post: 217695, member: 61646"] Hi, with my XP based HTPC EVR does not help at all (yes, .NET 3.0 is installed). Only ffdsow levels filter. If Jimwin runs Vista should give a try to EVR. Or we wait for MPII final :-) BTW I would not touch the graphic driver settings. That is not your problem as I understand. Two wrong settings do not make 1 good result! Correct the first wrong setting with levels or with EVR. 1 interesting thing: if I play dvd in window mode as a small thumb in mediaportal´s homescreen AND I open an explorer window, the black level corrects itself! (mp switches from VMR9 to overlay or vice versa?) Try it!
