[QUOTE="JoyriderZZ, post: 875017, member: 102265"] Hi Hoborg, I have an issue i hope you can help me with: I use SAF 6.1.1 and videos (MKVs mostly) in MediaPortal are too dark (little detail in the blacks). I didnt notice this with my old tv with grey-ish blacks, but my new TV shows much better blacks and i was missing details. Therefore I am now digging a bit deeper in the settings to get an ideal picture. Setup: PC connected to TV via HDMI ATI HD3200 pixel settings to RGB 4:4:4 (limited RGB, so 16-235) Settings for H264 in MePo are set to ffdshow DXVA decoder ffdshow input set to Auto, 0-255 or 16-235 doesnt make much difference ffdshow output set to PC levels (0-255)= even darker or TV levels (16-235) I have found the solution in MPC-HC but not in MediaPortal: In MPC-HC there is an option Render Settings > Output Range with the options 0-255 (too dark) and 16-235 (perfect!). I tested this with a Digital Video Essentials Blu-Ray test disc.[ATTACH=full]105676[/ATTACH] Do you know (or does anybody else know) how I can do this in MediaPortal as well? Furthermore I see there are no RGB input or output settings in the ffdshow DXVA settings, but I assume the settings from the normal ffdshow are applied to DXVA as well? [/QUOTE]
