[QUOTE="phunqe, post: 196677, member: 50050"] Being somewhat of a videophile I'm researching various options to get my picture as perfect as possible when playing h264 material. Can anyone please correct me if I'm wrong, but is Cyberlink's codec (latest PowerDVD 7.3) the one codec yielding the best picture quality at the moment? Does it work to specify the Cyberlink codec under video player setting in MP, to use this codec during playback? I've read about it being used for TV broadcasts, but what about video? Most of my h/x264 material is in mkv format (I would assume that doesn't matter however is haali splits it up and then passes it on to the codec in any case). If this isn't the best option, are there any other recommendations? Thanks in advance. Cheers. EDIT: I'm wiling to actually buy the PowerDVD package, but I would really like to know if I can use the codec in MP first :P Reading up on Nvidia's PureVideo (I have a card that supports it)... I'm reading reports on this forum about HD material being washed out (colour wise), because of the VMR9 renderer. Will the PureVideo codec also be affected by this (i.e will I have to do that hack if I want to use the internal MP player)? [/QUOTE]
