[QUOTE="MrOrsh, post: 326141, member: 84182"] When I play a DVD in PowerDVD8 it looks great. But when playing trough MediaPortal the colors look all gray and worn out. I have selected Cyberlink Video/SP Decoder as the DVD Video Decoder, but still doesn´t work. Other than PowerDVD8 I have ffdshow and Core AVC installed on the computer. This seemes to be a usual problem: [url]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/mediaportal-1-talk-45/why-black-levels-so-off-my-dvd-playback-11064/[/url] I´ve tried the levels "fix" in ffdshow, but it doesn´t seem to affect the picture at all. I´m all out of options here, just when I got every other file format to run smoothly this happends :( Edit: I actually think I solved the problem! Not in a perfect way I guess, but at least it works for now, and I think the picture is really good, black is black and not gray (perhaps spelled grey? anyway). What I did was that I enter the expert mode in MP configurator and selected DirectShow Filters, then MPV. Then I pressed the "TV Defaults" - button which rearanged the contrast and brightness. I then selected the MPV as the codec for DVD and voila, there it was! All black and beautiful! I also did try using ffdshow to post-process the video, don´t know if it actually made any difference but I´ll keep it on the post-processing since I´m happy with the way the picture look now. Finaly I´ve solved all codec and playback problems and can now move on to the fun part - costumizing my skin and make it look the way I want :) I however have a question regarding the MPV-codec, is this somewhat a "low-budget" codec that you really shouldn´t use. Or is it recomended to use as long as it works satisfying? Edit 2: I guess the MPV really is a low-budget coded. Especially cartoon/animated movies looks, well, like hell. So the problem remain. Have tried uninstalling the ffdshow codec but the picture looks just as gray anyway :/ [/QUOTE]
