Bad xvid video quality in windows 7! | ||
| TempSiZ posted 2009 Oct 31 20:39 | ||
| So installed Windows 7 and the up to date K-Lite FULL codec pack with media player classic home theater, when playing xvid files in full screen compared to previously I notice alot more pixelation and blotchyness than I had previously in Vista or XP.
Could it be a weird settings issue or is it a windows 7 thing? | ||

| Codec packs are not recommended by veteran users on this website.
Try mediaplayerclassic or vlc. They have internal codecs. | ||

| Deblocking is probably turned off.
Get rid of K-Lite. Though it sometimes works for some. Unfortunately it often screws things up. In most cases installing ffdshow would have got you the better results and less problems than a codec pack. Install KMP player or Media Player Classic or VLC. Ethelred | ||

| Thank you guys for the fast replys. Forgive me but I don't know much about this stuff so I'm asking again!
I tried playing an xvid video before installing K-Lite and it was exactly the same as after. So is the windows 7 built in codecs any good or is it just my pc? Do you suggest for me to uninstall the K-Lite codec pack and install ffdshow and does ffdshow come with any codecs like the xvid codec or well it use the built in windows 7 xvid codec once I uninstall the codec pack? | ||

| Be sure to get the latest WHQL certified drivers for your graphics card.
From MPCHC select View -> Options -> Playback -> Output. From the DirectShow Video box try the different renders. Especially VMR9 Renderless and EVR Custom Pres. You have to exit MPCHC and restart it for the change to take effect. Also try the different Resizers in the VMR7/9 settings section. It sounds like you're getting the Nearest Neighbor filter now. | ||

| damn. Sorry I didn't read your first post very well. Media Player Classic Home Cinema has it's own built in codecs. That's why you didn't see a difference in picture quality. Follow jagabo's advice for fine tuning mpchc.
also ffdshow is not a codec pack.
FFdshow is one of the first things I install on a new pc. Very useful for video processing. |
