[QUOTE="tourettes, post: 485150, member: 10858"] I wonder why it suddenly has stopped working in the first place with the newer EVR.DLL. Maybe MS has decided to change the default value from 0-255 to 16-235 in EVR mixer. Also why older ATI card works? Bug in ATI's driver? Now, how to proceed? We need to test that change as much as possible, as we definately wont want to make a change that breaks the black levels on wider range of users than the current issue is happening on. So, everyone reading this thread please do some testing with four combinations and report back. [list] [*] Vista SP1 EVR.DLL+ original MP dshowhelper.dll [*] Vista SP1 EVR.DLL+ modified MP dshowhelper.dll [*] Vista SP2 EVR.DLL+ original MP dshowhelper.dll [*] Vista SP2 EVR.DLL+ modified MP dshowhelper.dll [/list] All combinations must be tested. If we receive some info that the black levels are not ok on some configuration where they previously have been we will need to add some setting to switch between the color spaces (I really hate adding such setting... makes user experience just more complicated...). So, for your own best, please test those four configurations so that the next MP SVN version is not going to break your movie experience :P [/QUOTE]
