If somebody comes with a good answer, it should be added to wiki

DirectX Exclusive mode gives exactly that exclusive rendering to the video file you're playing back.
It avoids tearing of videos with a supported VMR9 capable graphics card.
This feature should always be on for DirectX 9 cards or better for smoother video especially fast motion scenes.

Thanks dman_lfc for your explanation

As Spragleknas suggested I have added your explanation to the Wiki page covering DirectShow Filter Controls.

Would be great if all options where explained.

Hi Spragleknas

You are right, it would be great if all options were explained!

The reason I did not complete them is that I am not sure of them myself. With most of the Wiki pages I have created or amended, I have added the details I know (which I think is probably better then nothing) and hope to update them if I read more in the forums or from personal experience.

If someone want to post some details of some of the other options, I am happy to update the pages. I did do a very quick search of the forums last night (search on VMR9) to see if I could add more, but I could not find any information of use in the first couple of pages of results.

Thanks for the explanations about exclusive mode.
But what about the filter settings for exclusive mode what are they for?

One more thing: What is the nonsquare mixing setting for?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

allways wondered about those options too.
About the non-square option:

Since this seems a conclusion:

Using Non-Square Mixing Mode

Non-square mixing mode is recommended if either of the following conditions are true:

Your application never sends more than one video stream to the VMR-9.
Your application renders DVD, television, or ms-dvr files. You should also use YUV mixing mode in this case, if the graphics hardware supports it.
If your application mixes multiple video streams that may have varying image sizes or pixel aspect ratios, the default square mixing mode is recommended.

Seems non-square should be preferred?
