View Full Version : Media Player Classic - fullscreen resize quality

I just recently got a 20" NEC Multisync flatpanel monitor. It's very nice (but of course, not the best for viewing movies). Nevertheless, I do watch movies on it, and I noticed something recently that seemed odd to me.

The native/optimal resolution of the monitor is 1600x1200, so I leave it at this setting. Yet this also means that watching a movie at fullscreen requires a much larger percentage of resizing than at a screen resolution of 1280x1024, for example. However the strange thing is that I can barely notice any difference in quality while watching a fullscreen movie at either of these resolutions.

It just amazes me that Media Player Classic's resize quality is so good that I can't see much difference between very different screen resolutions. Is this generally always true with other video encodes played in MPC?

AFAIK media player classic does not do any resizing. It's all down to your video card.

Give a try to ffdshow lanczos or bicubic resizing, and mplayer. Check if you see any difference.
