I'm currently running XBMC on my HTPC, but I can seem to find the upscaling settings as described here. Even though I have a Geforce G210, which has VDPAU feature set C. I've also set the render method to 'VDPAU'. Does someone have a clue? Tnx!

Which version of xbmc are you running.
For 9.11 you need to set the upscaling method in advancedsettings.xml, in svn and dharma you can set it during playback in the video settings dialog.

Alright. Thanks. I wasn't aware of that fact. I'll probably be able to manage it from hereon. Thanks for the quick answer!

How new svn? I don't currently (updated July 28) have vdpau hq-scaling in those options.

You still have lanczos3 optimized right?
If you really want vdpau scaling you have to turn it on through advancedsettings.xml, it's not in the gui settings because it's rather hard to turn on during playback.

Yes, there is lanczos3 (i have set this to auto). I have vdpauscaling true in advancedsettings.xml.

Just confused about wiki showing those in Video settings, thought it was changed in svn..

If you turn vdpau scaling on you won't get any lanczos scaling at all when using vdpau.

I had few commented out options in advancedsettings.xml, removed those and i think vdpau hq scaling works now (video quality is back to normal). Also switched to pvr-testing2 branch, don't know which one did help.
