"movie playback is in 480i only."
... with a modded xbox running xbmc what is the highest resolution i can get?
what video adapter is the best for xbox.
also, is dts supported?
cheers.
i have had a variety of devices feeding my high end hd display......kiss dvd players, htpcs, xbmc etcetc.
with the component cable from the xbox and enabling hd resolutions i really cant see what cricisms you have about vdeo quality?
are you sure that you tweaked the xbmc settings right? what pixel shader did you use? or filters? or post processing? i dont run any filters, any post processing and use the high quality renderer.
