Hi!
Sorry guys, but I'm pretty new to this DSCodec stuff, so maybe my questions seem dispensable for you..
After I finally achieved playback with ffdshow-directshow-codec (instead of the build-in ffmpeg) and the results look promising, I faced some issues. I am not sure whether the relate to my onboard ATI-graphics card or to the DCCoded-XBMC:
1. When I set YCBCR 4:4:4 in the CCC Control the resulting video pic in DCCoded-XBMC is too "bright", i.e. black is not black but grey. I would assume a sort of RGB>YCBCR converting mismatch...
2. Setting CCC to RGB 4:4:4 leads in conjunction with the "automatically change refresh rate"-option in the XBMC setup to a very "unstable video picture" behaviour. Sometimes the picture is fine during a video playback with 60Hz but 24 Hz leads to a sort of pink frame around the video window. When I stop the video the colors in the xbmc-screen are "wrong" (they have some sort of green/pink shadow around and the picture quality is very low-end.
Generally I don't not see this artifacts or color problems with the 10.1 Dharma stable with the embedded DVDPlayer/ffmpeg stuff. Has anybody ideas on that? Help very appreciated!
A general question:
3. In DSPlayer I had options for codec-configuration (filtersconfig.xml etc.) as explained on the wiki: http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=HOW-TO:_Using_DSPlayer. Here it seems to me that I do not have the possibilities. But how do I change between installed ffdshow codec and installed MPC-HC codec for instance?
My Setup:
AMD X2 245e on Asus Board, ATI 42XX on Board, 4GB RAM, Windows Vista SP2, XBMC true fullscreen, connected via HDMI
Thanks!
