Media player automatic post processing on WMV

[noam_korem]

Seems like there's an inherent post-processing filter in the media player. When I decode WMV using a standard decoder, the output is not filtered, while when using the media player, it displayes deblocked-deblurred output, even if the bitstream settings are not demanding it.

Anyone know how to turn it off?

Thanks, but I'm actually trying to DISABLE a filter which is already being used, not add another one on top of it.

if you decrease slide bar to MIN, postrocessing will off.

Thanks! That did the trick.

What slider bar?

Apologies for thread resurrection, but I am having difficulties in disabling the WMV post-possessing. I have tried using the registry hacks and WMVPostpross.exe as suggested in this thread, but they only seem to disable post-possessing in WMP 6.4. When I use MPC or WMP 9 the post-possessing is still being applied.

Does this only work for WMP 6.4, or am I doing something wrong?

This is the solution which worked out fine for me:

I've managed to disable post-processing. It turns out that the registry hacks were working all along, but that the DirectX Video Acceleration the newest ATI drivers have was also post-processing the video.

To complicate matters I couldn't disable DXVA (even though I'd un-ticked Windows Media Video Acceleration in the Catalyst Control Center) until I installed this hotfix:

This hotfix also stopped the annoying dxva_sig.txt file from appearing every time I tried to play a WMV file.

Another fix is disabling "AGP Texture Acceleration" with "dxdiag" tool.

That's a pretty extreme measure. I wouldn't recommend it.

That was an option to fix the "dxva_sig.txt" problem, all the other options that I have found don't work to me.

And as I've an integrated GFX, AGP isn't useful for me :)
