Maybe the question is just stupid, because the ffdshow filter is just "one", but is it possible to have different post processing settings for TV / DVD / Movies?
I ask this because the settings I have right now are perfect for TV, but not quite OK to DVD or movies.

My settings:
TV: Nvidia + postprocessing with ffdshow
DVD: Nvidia + postprocessing with ffdshow
Movies (DivX, Xvid, etc...): are automaticaly rendered by ffdshow so it's not necessary to activate post processing in MP

Is there a way to run a .exe or .bat command each time I choose TV, DVD, Videos?
Can anyone point me an existent plugin to do this? Or could anyone easily code one? (I'm a PHP coder, not a C# one...)

My idea is to create several .reg files, with different ffdshow settings for TV, DVD and Videos, and then just run those .reg files each time, and right before, Media Portal goes to play each of this contents.

See my post at ffdshow forum: http://ffdshow-tryout.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=511

I'm pretty sure this is doable... I'm I wrong?

I've set up FFDSHOW for the 3 different profiles I need (TV, Movies and DVD) and exported the settings to .reg files.

Using "My programs" plugin I'm able to run the .reg files without leaving Media Portal, and successfully change settings for each profile. I do get two windows dialogs where I need to confirm that I want to run the .reg file and press OK in the "the settings were entered to the registry" dialog.

Now the only two things are missing:
- Override the two dialogs and make it "silent"
- Beeing able to run them automatically on entering "My TV", "My Movies" and "Play DVD" (making sure it runs BEFORE Media Portal starts to play)

Any ideas you Media Portal gurus?

I now know that I can run:
regedit /s filename.reg
to run them silently and change the ffdshow settings for TV/Movies/DVD without leaving Media Portal, and with no dialogs, but I still need to run them from "My Programs"

Come on dev's... Is it that difficult to be able, somewhere in Media Portal config, a command to run when entering TV, Videos or just before the DVD starts to play?
