[QUOTE="doveman, post: 795645, member: 67412"] I wouldn't be too sure :) I never really worked this out, but perhaps you know the answer. PDVD11 outputs in NV12 and this is also the format that has to be used for hardware de-interlacing to work. Therefore, is it necessary to ONLY have NV12 ticked in ffdshow's Output section to ensure that both PDVD11 and ffdshow are outputting the same colors, etc? Well I don't have pulldown detection enabled, so that's one thing I've learnt :) And there's another! I wasn't aware that AA would have any effect on video, but I can try setting this for MP with RadeonPro without affecting anything else. And that's a hat trick! I agree that "what looks good to me" should be the benchmark (within limits) and one person's settings might not suit another person (or more to the point, their TV). I too think colour and black levels are most important. Some settings can perhaps be shared though, such as those which minimise banding, blocking, etc. One thing that does confuse me is calibrating the PC to get a good picture for both desktop/gaming and video/MP use. I think what probably needs to be done is to calibrate the TV to the desktop first, using programs such as QuickGamma, DisplayMate for Windows, Nokia Screen Calibration, HCFR Colorimeter, and various static images, which I assume would also translate to games and then use various video files (played with whatever codecs are used in MP) to then calibrate video playback with the CCC Video Color settings and perhaps those in ffdshow if necessary (I think ffdshow can be used as a post-processor even if it's not being used to decode certain formats). I haven't got round to trying this though. I've spent quite a bit of time just trying to tweak my TV, which is very tweakable, and that is confusing and stressful enough without a colorimeter! As I use a monitor and a TV, I have to make sure the desktop and gaming looks right on both, although I only play video on the TV so I only have to get that looking right on the one display thankfully.
