VMR 9 options, explain?

[sub]

Because we often need to mix the user interface and video together, for example displaying OSD graphics, also displaying video in a panel.

that explains it better for me thanks sub
i would say its my video card not handling the direct3d stuff
i will come clean it was on my laptop it has direct 3d but obvously does it badly

see in pic vertical lines and steps in the edges where the colours change

I definitely dont get anything like that. My picture is good, with no sign of these jaggies you're getting. I manage to catch an ad with a white background, so you'd be able to easily compare with the jaggies you get on your white background. Its not a great screenshot, but was similar conditions to source image you posted.

What video decoder are you using? The only time I've seen an effect similar to this was when I was using an elecard video decoder that was outputting a quarter resolution picture.

that was cyberlink tried mpv
it only happens with vmr cutom
now i have a better understanding of whats going on i may be able to work around it
ill see if there are any new drivers
i tried updating directx
is there anything else i should update?

Are you sure you dont have any post processing things like ffdshow installed? Post the filter list from your PVRX2.exe-native.log and I'll take a look.

Here is another picture that shows high contrast between his arms and backgrounds, with no sign of any jaggies.

A still show never looks as good as when you're watching real playing video, but I get a smooth picture with good colour (though if you look carefully there is some MPEG2 compression artifacts).

[stustunz]

i un-installed ffdshow but i guess some of it or somethingcould be hanging
around
that screen shot was taken running 99.12 vmrcustom
only because i was getting the same with pvrx2
but will do that tonight
actually have to go to work today bugger it

thanks for your help

if there was something else running would it show in task manager?

Why is it that using VMR9 custom under the old 1.08 interface, I do not get an OSD (when moving mouse etc) but when I use the X2 interface, I am able to see the OSD?

Thanks

[sub]

I dont really know. There hasnt really been any changes in the old executable. Do you remember if you had the OSD with VMR9 Custom under v0.99.12?

That said, as long as its working under PVRX2.exe, then I'm happy.

[JonnyCam]

No, I don't think I've ever been able to get the OSD displaying under any version in VMR9C, but whatever it works now (I tried multiple decoders etc) As it never worked, I just stuck with VMR9.

Thanks
