[QUOTE="KwizatZ, post: 865725, member: 106444"] Hello lwerndly, I will explain here how [B]FFDShow Raw[/B] post-processing is working in general, as it can help some other users too. (Sorry for my english in advance) Firstly, you have to understand that[B] FFDShow Raw[/B] is not the [B]FFDShow Video decoder[/B], but it is the [B]post-processing[/B] part from FFDShow, so you can use any video decoder you want. Here is the simple graph how your video is rendering: File Splitter -> Video decoder -> Post-processing (here FFDShow Raw) -> Windows Renderer -> Audio decoder -> In GraphStudio: [ATTACH]103807[/ATTACH] [B]/!\[/B] Please be aware to make your post-processing presets in [B]FFDShow Raw[/B] and not [B]FFDShow[/B] (Video decoder) as it's not the same thing, even if the configuration screen is very similar. To easily test the post-processing in MediaPortal, you have to: - Start MP in windowed mode, so you will easily see what happens: [ATTACH]103796[/ATTACH] - Enable FFDShow Raw post-processing in MediaPortal: [ATTACH]103797[/ATTACH] Once you have added and checked [B]FFDShow Raw[/B] post-processing, just click on [B]Filter properties[/B] button in the same screen. Then you will see the [B]FFDShow Raw[/B] settings screen, in the preset tab just add some of your presets or load my presets if you want: [I](ffdshowPresets.rar at the end of my post)[/I] You can see for example the [B]TestBlackAndWhitePreset[/B] I made : [ATTACH]103798[/ATTACH] and go on the [B]Picture properties[/B] tab to see that I've just set the [B]saturation[/B] to 0: [ATTACH]103799[/ATTACH] Now close and save MediaPortal settings and start MP. Launch a video (for example an anime in MA2) then check on your windows taskbar the mini icons that has been loaded: [ATTACH]103800[/ATTACH] In my example you see [B]2 FFDShow icons[/B], one for [B]FFDShow Raw[/B] and one for [B]FFDShow Video decoder[/B] (as I personally use FFDShow as Video decoder): One more time: [B]/!\[/B] Please be aware to make your post-processing presets in [B]FFDShow Raw[/B] and not [B]FFDShow[/B] (Video decoder) as it's not the same thing, even if the configuration screen is very similar. So, just click on the [B]FFDShow Raw[/B] icon that you see in my screen to open it's properties, go in presets tab, select [B]TestBlackAndWhite[/B] and click [B]apply[/B]: [ATTACH]103801[/ATTACH] You can now see that your video is now playing in black and white, which has been a picture post processing. [B]So what have I coded in MyAnime2 ?[/B] I just check on windows registry which presets has been set for [B]FFDShow Raw[/B] and I propose to link and anime episode (or anime series, which is just multiple episodes) to a preset. To test it, just go on [B]MyAnime2 config[/B] screen in [B]Advanced Options[/B] tab, check the 3 checkboxes as in screen: [ATTACH]103795[/ATTACH] Then save the config and launch MediaPortal with MyAnime2. Go on a episode, launch the menu and go on [B]POST-PROCESSING>>>[/B]: [ATTACH]103802[/ATTACH] Select for example [B]TESTBLACKANDWHITE[/B] preset : [ATTACH]103803[/ATTACH] Then launch your episode and you will see a notification after 5s telling you that [B]TESTBLACKANDWHITE[/B] preset has been set, and your video will go in black and white: [ATTACH]103804[/ATTACH] [B](please note that the 5s wait is for FFDShow Raw to have time to load, that's why I've coded it asynch in MA2)[/B] If you don't want the preset to load for this episode anymore, just go on it, launch the menu, go to [B]POST-PROCESSING>>>[/B] and choose [B]REMOVE OLD PRESET ASSOCIATION[/B]: [ATTACH]103805[/ATTACH] You can of course set a preset for a complete series going on it and just setting the preset for it: [ATTACH]103806[/ATTACH] If you want to use the presets I've linked on this post, I personally use for old files (ie not AVC/H264) like XVid DivX: - [B]deband[/B] to remove the ugly banding often caused by these old codecs - [B]more saturation[/B] as these old codecs often wash the colors - add [B]sharpen[/B] or [B]blur[/B] if needed The presets I've made are like this: - [B]Saturation70Deband[/B] : saturation up to 70 + deband - [B]Saturation70DebandSharpen[/B] : saturation up to 70 + deband + sharpen edge - [B]Saturation80[/B] : saturation up to 80 - [B]Saturation80Deband[/B] : saturation up to 80 + deband (this is the one I use most often for washed colored anime files, ie old Xvid and DivX) - [B]Saturation80DebandSharpen[/B] : saturation up to 80 + deband + sharpen edge - [B]Saturation80DebandBlur[/B] : saturation up to 80 + deband + blur edge [/QUOTE]
