poor video quality
#1
im pretty new to the world of htpcs and xbmc so forgive me if im not giving enough info, anyway, my question..

..when playing movies in xbmc the quality is pretty poor, grainy and generaly un-sharp. ive seen some post on various sites about upscaling to 720p. how do you do this? id love to get my videos looking as good as possible. this is with avi files and the original dvd that im having quality issues with.

running xbmc on windows xp btw

thanks

Also have you even looked in the settings of the program at all to use scaling?

thanks for the heads up on this, but i have figured out what the problem must have been, it must be the source file as i have downloaded some avi files (i own the originals on dvd) from the internet and they play perfectly.

also my media centre is currently connected to my tv via the Dsub connection from my nvidia 8500 gt which probably aint helping matters. going to get a http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduc...-SP&tool=3 and connect it via hdmi which should improve things further
