Colour Banding...

Hi guys,

Thanks for the replies. I have set my colour depth to 32bit, I could have sworn I set it to 32 when I reloaded my PC a few months ago. Maybe updating to the latest Catalyst reset it, I know it changed my res and scaling options. Anyway, that seems to have improved things, I have also changed to the YCbCr 4:4:4 colour profile as suggested by Grubi, thanks mate. I will let you know if this further improves it.

Another thing I found the other day (not sure if you guys already know, thought I'd share the wealth anyway) was a guide to upscaling using FFDShow, I created a separate up scaling profile and now I can force DVD rips and episodes of Lost etc to 1280x720 with no blocky effects or other graphical glitches!

Anyway cheers guys, I'm happy that I get to keep using MP

BTW - J River Media Center turned out to be ok, still prefer MP. J River has some nice menu animations once you switch to Theatre view, the default view looks similar to WinAmp. Its just not as configurable, MP pwns it!
