[QUOTE="tourettes, post: 363502, member: 10858"] As DVBViewer is closed source I can only guess what's different in those two and based on the picture I would assume DVBViewer does some smoothing (as I know that MP is at least not by any purpose doing any sharpening or any other post processing to the picture). I think we need to find some reference MPEG decoder that can be used as comparision target to see is MP sharper than the comparision target or is DVBViewer using some blur / smoothing. So, does anyone know some reference MPEG decoders (non-directshow) that could be used for the analysis? Could it be that you like more the smoother picture? SCART is most likely producing smoother picture than the HTPC connect to the tv (if you are using digital connection, what I assume you are). btw. I'm also pretty picky when it comes to picture quality, especially as with >100" projector image the small details are pretty visible :) [/QUOTE]
