System: WinXP Pro SP3, nVidia 7900GS, old PureVideo codecs. DirectShow can decode & play commercial DVDs in WMP.
I use VMR9 Custom renderer for TV and video, since it always provided the best balance of quality and usability in GB-PVR.
Tried playing a DVD using VMR9 Custom and just got sound behind a pink screen. Happens with commercial Video DVDs and ISOs mounted with Daemon Tools.
I switched DVD renderers and got acceptable video with Overlay and EVR. All VMR renderers resulted in pink screen, a small video tile, distorted aspect or windowed playback (NPVR is set to fullscreen on my system).
Don't have a problem per se since DVDs seem to work over EVR, but I'm curious about what's going on. AFAIK GB-PVR only had one rendering option used for live TV, recordings and DVDs. Also seemed to work great with VMR9 Custom. PureVideo is set to prioritize VMR9 playback and I'd like to make sure I don't drop back to CPU rendering.
Thanks for any light shed on how NPVR works with rendering.
