Hey everyone!

I tried out MP a year ago when I first got a HTPC but soon switched to Meedio because of the instability in MP. I recently got a fireDTV to get some programming via comhem here in Sweden. I soon discovered the TV support in Meedio was terrible, so I decided to give MP another chance and i can't believe how much better is has gotten. The programmers have really done a great job, cheers to you all

Anyway, to the problem. I'm really lovin' MP and all of it's features, but I can't seem to get the video-playback to be as good as in Meedio. In Meedio the picture was really sharp and had accurate (I think) colours, in MP it's not as sharp and somewhat grey.

I figure I need to find the right video-codec or post-processing filter, but I'm somewhat confused here. As I understand it from some reading I've done, VLC and other great video-apps are using ffdshow (or FFMpeg). In MP I can't choose any of these for video codec, I only have MPV,Nvidia Video decoder, DScaler mpeg2, Nero and Cyberlink. I can use ffdshow as a post-processing filter, but I don't really know how this works or what it does.

So basically, does anyone know what Meedio uses as default for video playback? Is Nvidia's codec a good choice for my videocard or do I need a new card for it to be better than the other? Last but not least, what do people here prefer for video codec and post-processing?

Oh, and one last thing, is ffdshow only a filter for allready decoded videos?

Hope i didn't break any rules (my first post)!

Cheers
