[QUOTE="FireAza, post: 780177, member: 114055"] Hi guys! I've currently got MediaPortal post processing via ffdshow raw video filter, thanks to the guide in the MediaPortal manual. In it, I've got "resize & aspect" setup to resize any non 1080p videos to 1080p and I've got some sharpening and blur added to smooth out the video. The result looks pretty good! But I have a feeling it could be better. Why? To begin with: 1) I'm only using the "resize & aspect" filter, and any upscale guide I've read calls for more than that. Why? Because I want any videos that are already 1920 x 1080 to be left alone! The only way I was able to this was with the "resize if" setting. 2) I'd like to be able to use a different set of... "upscale profiles" I guess you could call them. I want a more rigorous upscale for SD content, a weaker upscale for HD content and no upscaling for full HD content. My goal here is clarity.
