weird behavior in MPC HC

[OvejaNegra]

I was in the house of a friend testing a new video card.
The monitor resolution was 1024X768 (he as viewing problems).

When you open HD videos (1920 X 1080) mpc scales down the videos to something like 720 X 360. Even clicking on zoom 100% does not works.

changing the renderer solves half of the problem

Using overlay mixer or any VMR scales the video to a resolution closer to the resolution of the monitor, but never the original resolution of the video. Haali renderer scales the video to 720 X 360.

Only playing the video in the old player (type mplayer2 in the RUN dialog) plays the video to the original resolution (it's bigger than the screen, that's what we want).

Is this behavior normal?
Maybe mpc avoids the video being bigger than the screen but i want that, what can i do?

The machine is a dual core with one Nvidia 7300 LE.

And nother thing, in the video card settings, there is a color correction setting applied to the "desktop" and another ot the "video overlay".

The "desktop" setting works with haali but the overlay setting works with the overlay mixer.
AND BOTH settings are active if you use VMR9, giving a VERY bad colored video
Is that normal?

How color-corretc (or gamma-correct) the video?
Thanks
Sorry for my english.

right click in the window --> Video Frame --> Normal Size (if you don't want MPC to scale) or Touch Window From Inside (if you want MPC to resize picture to your monitor)

On some renderers (Haali) Double Size might be Normal Size.

Thanks. But still behaving weird. The frame is bigger but now is bigger than the screen of MPC. I have to use ctrl+numpad to move the frame. Maybe is for avoiding the window of MPC becoming bigger than the screen.

Why haali behaves so weird: My point> if haali is scaling down the frame, and then scaling up when i enter in full screen (or use double size) im lossing quality?

thanks again

No, Haali is just scaling down windowed videos if they would exceed Desktop boundaries, this is intended behaviour and does not affect quality in any way.

Normaly, using e.g. Overlay and "Touch Video from the Inside" + Keep Original Aspect Ratio should cause the player to exceed desktop boundaries. Also make sure that in Options - Playback you select Autozoom 100% (AutoFit does the same for every Renderer that Haali already does).

OK, that's solves all.
Thank you for the help.

Thanks!!!
