Jagged Edges (1 Viewer)

When watching TV or Recorded programs full screen (not full screen=too little to notice) the edges on letters and human faces are all jagged.

When using mytheatre or viewing the mediaportal recording in media player the jagged edges are gone.

With graphedit I checked that Mytheatre and mediaportal are using the same video decoder, wich is Nvidia purevideo

So I would guess this is a mediaportal specific problem.

Are you using directx exclusive mode? If not select this in the configuration program.

pressing ! when in full screen gives you a scrolling vertical line which will indicate tearing probs.

I have directX exclusive mode enabled, I also disbled it and checked with "!" then enabled it again and rechecked. with directx exclusive mode enabled the lines doesn't break(suppose that if it breaks thats called tearing?)

so guess that it hasn't anything to do with my problem

to describe the problem, instead of viewing a nice rounded line I see a line that is zoomed in too much and you see the pixels, that effect is showing in mediaportal but not with mytheatre or any other player, nor is it in the recording itself, just playback

does nobody know a solution or can confirm it is a bug , it also applies for watching a DVD, it has got to be something that mediaportal does, because no other player has it. And they use the same nvidia purevideo codec

only thing I can suggest is to use graphedit to see what MP is doing in terms of codecs etc.

already did that and the graph is exactly the same, except that mytheatre uses its own DVB core source filter for watching tv. the rest is the same

Could you post a screen shot that shows those jagged edges?

What are your deinterlacing settings? Also use a support template, we can't guess what hardware you got.

Synopsis::

Jagged Edges




I've disabled deinterlacing, within mediaportal, so only the nVidia decoder is deinterlacing, but in mytheatre it deinterlaces fine.

Will try and make a screenshot (Wich key should I press??)

F11 - the png will be saved to your normal windows "My Pictures" folder.

See the attached image for my settings. Result is perfect deinterlacing with a 6600GT. Deinterlacing in "Television" is also set to none here.
