[QUOTE="kiwijunglist, post: 1001706, member: 76888"] [SIZE=6]Video Playback - Up-scaling SD Video and Post Processing[/SIZE] It's debatable as to whether this actual helps much over using GPU scaling so I am going to put the whole thing in spoiler tags :) If you use ffdshow to process the video you will also loose hardware acceleration. I would advise that most people just skip this section. [spoiler] This step is only necessary if you watch a lot of SD videos. If you have a low end HTPC or a slow CPU then skip this part of the guide. If your TV is not 1920x1080 then you should also skip this part of the guide (unless you feel comfortable editing my profile and changing all the re-sizing profiles) Since we are going to use ffdshow for everything we no longer have hardware acceleration. If you still want to have hardware acceleration for high bitrate videos, then you can just choose ffdshow for MPEG-2 and DivX/Xvid and leave the others with LAV Video. If you use LAV for h264 videos, you will not get upscaling or post processing for SD h264 videos. Install FFDShow Tryouts [url]http://ffdshow-tryout.sourceforge.net/[/url] (If you already have ffdshow you should uninstall it then reinstall it. When you re install click yes to reset all options to default) Use my ffdshow presets Download and extract ffdshow_v01.rar Rn ffdshow_v01.reg (not while ffdshow is running) There are separate profiles for 1080P / 720P / SD-DVD / SD-DivX / SD-Other In case you are wondering my settings are based on this [URL='http://www.homecinema-hd.com/us/tutorials/windows/htpc/ffdshow-video-introduction-16.html']guide[/URL]. Change the video codecs to ffdshow [ATTACH=full]130384[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]130389[/ATTACH] Also change the DVD codec (and optionally the MPEG-2 TV codec) [ATTACH=full]130387[/ATTACH] Run ffdshow video configuration and check you have the profiles like the screenshot [ATTACH=full]130388[/ATTACH] Restart your PC This is an Important step. After restarting all your Videos and DVDs will use ffdshow with upscaling. Blu rays will still use LAV Video. If you want to check what codec is being used press shift+1 while playing a video. I will probably update the .reg file with better up-scaling settings in the future. Notes There are other ways to do upscaling and post processing. If you have an AMD HD6XXX or HD7XXX you can use DXVA2 (copy back) in LAV then add ffdshow to postprocessing then use raw video decoder in ffdshow and set up various profiles based on the video resolution. This would allow you to have post processing with dxva.
