Colorspaces and Video mode?

[Episodio1]

hi!

Do "colorspaces" have anything to do with the graphics card video mode: overlay, vmr7, etc?

Why is so important the video mode when playing a video? Is it the same as showing a picture on screen?


Thanks.

I could be wrong, but I believe "colorspace" has to do with the encoding process of a video file, whereas "video mode" and "overlay" are general display settings.

This article doesn't speak directly to the question you've posed, but nevertheless, I think you'll find it extremely interesting. Colorspace--by Tom Barry (http://www.animemusicvideos.org/guides/avtech/colorspace.html). Tom's pretty well known around here, his work is legendary.

Thanks, ammck.

And what about the video mode when playing a video back?

edit: and what about the NO FORCE conversion in decoders?
