Okay I have been playing around with this software for a couple of days and let me start out by saying it's money. Great TV playback, great interface options and basically everything is working great save for one thing - file playback. No matter what options I play with in FFDSHOW or in the config for GBPVR anytime I load a Divx, Xvid or other movie or TV grab it adjusts the ratio to fit full screen. I have told it in FFShow not to adjust, adjust to 4:3, if greater then 640...no matter what I tell it, it comes out wrong.
Here is the kicker..
If I play the same video in either Beyond Media or just plain WMP it plays in the correct ratio, looks great and has great color. On top of the ratio issue the color is really washed and the picture is not sharp when I play it through GBPVR. I realize it has been said before GBPVR simply hands off the actual file to Directshow..and when I change the Decoder I can see differences but I just find it strange that even Beyond Media plays it perfectly and in GBPVR I have issue. I would much rather use GBPVR as it is setup much better and I like the TV options better, so any pointers would be much appreciated.
