[QUOTE="rivera, post: 551766, member: 85161"] In case of WinXP-SP3 (+ .Net 3.5) & selected VMR9 renderer I [b]do not see pure black color[/b] in video. Black color looks like dark grey. I am using CRT-monitor Iiyama accepting RGB(0-255). I checked the following setups: 1. [b]Outside MediaPortal[/b] in MPC-HC player - both the following variants [b]give the pure black color[/b]: a) without ffdshow raw video filter: - any decoder - in Nvidia driver - selected mode "RGB(0-255)" - VMR9 renderless b) with ffdshow raw video filter with adjusted YCbCr->RGB(0-255) transform: - any decoder - VMR9 renderless - in Nvidia driver - selected mode doesn't matter 2. [b]Inside MediaPortal[/b] - the following settings [b]give dark grey color[/b]: - Cyberlink Video\SP decoder (PDVD9) - for MPEG - Cyberlink H264 decoder (PDVD7) - for H264 - MPC decoder - for VC-1 - VMR9 - ffdshow raw video filter with adjusted YCbCr->RGB(0-255) transform - in Nvidia driver - selected mode "RGB(0-255)" I tried to use EVR renderer but after starting a video I see blank screen without possibility to leave to MediaPortal: ESC & STOP buttond don't work, but I can exit MediaPortal by pressing Alt-F4. By the way, in MPC-HC I also cannot use EVR - same blank screen (probably it's a problem of Nvidia + WinXP) [b]So, are there any solutions to see pure black color in MediaPortal in WinXP ?[/b] I attached two pics for black & dark grey colors as examples. "Black" - from the case 1-b (see above) "Dark grey" - from MediaPortal In both cases I use the same MPEG decoder (Cyberlink Video\SP decoder). In both cases GraphEdit gives the same graph, only renderers are different: both are called "Video mixer renderer 9", but in case of MediaPortal it has 4 input pins (not 1).
