I experience very poor black levels, almost grey, in both TV and DVD - not when watching HD material in h.264 encoded MKV's or TV-series ripped from DVD-boxsets to MP4. While the latter, which is working fine, is handled by CoreAVC because it's h.264 encoded, the DVD and TV material is set to be handled by ffdshow and then I get awful black levels. I've noticed from GraphEdit that the Microsoft MPEG2 Video Decoder is always active even though I've explicitly set MediaPortal to use the ffdshow Video Decoder. My current filter graph sends the signal through Microsoft MPEG2 Video Decoder for both DVD's and TV. Since I've set MediaPortal to use ffdshow as MPEG2 video decoder for both DVD and TV, why does it use the build-in MS decoder? [/QUOTE]
