[QUOTE="kiwijunglist, post: 1003965, member: 76888"] I've created a more advanced profile for ffdshow. I would like some feedback, I think it's quite good. [U]It has the following advantages:[/U] 1. Add black pixels to 1912/1916 width videos to ensure 1:1 mapping 2. Up-scales and processes SD Video (Does an amazing job of this too) 3. Applies a smart zoom to 4:3 and optionally 1.85/2.35 video 4. De-blocks DivX video [U]Requirements:[/U] 1. Good CPU (eg. Intel: High Spec Dual Core, or i3+ processor) 2. 1920x1080 display [U]For more about how smart zoom works see the wiki:[/U] [url]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/18_Contribute/99_Design_Concepts/Smart_View#section_17[/url] ^ This is a concept for integrated a smart zoom mode into mediaportal, since I wrote the concept I figured out how to do it in ffdshow. [U]Installation Instructions:[/U] Install latest version of ffdshow tryouts decoder [url]http://ffdshow-tryout.sourceforge.net/[/url] Choose to install ffdshow decoder (Don't need to install audio decoder, ffdshow (dxva) or anything else, just the decoder) Open FFDShow config Remove all existing profiles except for 'default' Save changes and close FFDShow Config Run Smart Zoom (Ultimate V1).reg - This will insert my profiles in to ffdshow Re-Open FFDShow Config [U]Make a decision, (Choose only one option):[/U] [ATTACH=full]131004[/ATTACH] (1) Default smart zoom settings: (RECOMMENDED)[spoiler]It should already look exactly like the screenshot Make sure the default profile is bold by double clicking on it [/spoiler](2) I want to disable smart zoom for Full HD [spoiler]Delete Smart Zoom (1.85 Full HD) (2) Delete Smart Zoom (2.35 Full HD) (2) Make sure the default profile is bold by double clicking on it [/spoiler](3) I want to disable smart zoom for Full HD & HD Ready Video) [spoiler]Delete Smart Zoom (1.85 Full HD) (3) Delete Smart Zoom (1.85 HD Ready) (3) Delete Smart Zoom (2.35 Full HD) (3) Delete Smart Zoom (2.35 HD Ready) (3) Make sure the default profile is bold by double clicking on it [/spoiler](4) I want disable smart zoom for all wider than 16:9 formats (only use it for 4:3 video) [spoiler]Delete Smart Zoom (1.85 Full HD) (4) Delete Smart Zoom (1.85 HD Ready) (4) Delete Smart Zoom (1.85 SD) (4) Delete Smart Zoom (2.35 Full HD) (4) Delete Smart Zoom (2.35 HD Ready) (4) Delete Smart Zoom (2.35 SD) (4) Make sure the default profile is bold by double clicking on it [/spoiler]What do I use? - I'm torn between option (1) and (2). I have a lot of 15+ GB Full HD videos so I don't like processing them because the quality is so perfect already. [U]Make your second decision:[/U] You can either decode with ffdshow or post process with ffdshow [U]Decode:[/U] [U]Choose this if unsure[/U][spoiler] Set all the codecs in the video section to ffdshow. FFDShow will use your CPU to both decode your video and process it.[/spoiler][U]Post process:[/U] [U]Recommend for AMD HD6XXX/7XXX and other GPUs that support DXVA w. Post processing[/U][spoiler] Set all the codecs in MP to LAV Video. If AMD Select DXVA (copy back) Open FFDShow Config, and click on the codecs section (near the top) Change raw video to "All Supported" Save changes Open MP Config, Videos section Add "FFDShow Video Decoder" (NOT FFDShow RAW Decoder) to post processing[/spoiler] [U]FINISHED![/U] [U]More information for those interested:[/U][spoiler] [U]These modes apply smart features to make the video as large as possible without much distortion or cropping[/U] Smart Zoom (Full HD) Apply smart zoom to Full HD Videos Smart Zoom (HD Ready) Apply smart zoom to HD Ready Videos Smart Zoom (SD) Apply smart zoom to SD Videos It also applies debanding, blur & NR, upscaling, sharpening +/- deblocking [U]This is the special mode for 1912 and 1916px width video that has not been smart zoomed[/U] No Smart Zoom (Default 1912/1916) Add black pixels around the edge to ensure 1:1 pixel mapping with source:display. [U]This is the default mode for video that is not 4:3/1.85/2.35[/U] No Smart Zoom ( ) It enlarges video to display without applying smart zoom. If SD Video, it applies debanding, blur & NR, upscaling, sharpening +/- deblocking [/spoiler] [U]Comparisons:[/U] Xvid: [ATTACH]131010[/ATTACH] ^There is slightly more detail in the hair that is directly against the roller, The skin around her eye is a little bit fuzzy in the original pic. You can also see slightly more details in the medial canthus (that's the inner corner of the eye) DivX: [ATTACH]131009[/ATTACH] ^notice the beer label is sharper as well as the edges of the jacket. There are some sharpening artifacts in my mod on the wall, but there are artifacts in the original on the wall as well. [U]ToDo:[/U]use ffdshow raw and post process (probably more stable) Add deblocking/upscaling etc for SD Remove brief OSD (currently enabled for debugging) Tweak warp-resize for 1.85 and 2.35 Rename divX to DivX/Xvid Tweak sharpening (?too much sharpening) Support for 720p displays (not sure if I will do this or not) [U]Current Issues[/U] need to increase crop on 2.35 HD Ready to 10% to eliminate artifact need to enable timeout for osd on one of the SD profiles. [U]Changelog:[/U] V1 - Initial release V2 - Added a lot of SD picture quality processing. Tweaked the 2.35:1 AR correction. Fixed a couple of small mistakes. Made it easier to setup. Got rid of extra profiles. [/QUOTE]
