Ok here is the deal, I am all for using open source and so far I like the feel of MP, but the main problem I am having is DVD playback frankly looks like crap. whats weird is when i play dvds in MCE they look great. I have no idea what the deal is...any ideas.

Thanks
Ian

What Codecs are you using for DVD playback?

the one that came with MP, its the same MCE is using. I didnt have dvd playback till i installed MP.

Please attach logs.

DVD playback in MP should be good using MPV/MPA and a DX9 gfx-card.

Hi,

as others said. Take a look at the Decoder settings for DVD in MP.
Also there were some problems with DVD menus, which are fixed in the latest SVN release.

Flip.
