MPC-HC still applying effects on ATI

[Fadeout]

It used to have problems showing colors wrong and I learned that I had to disable "DynamicContrast" in the registry in order to fix this.

The problem is that I found out it's not enough. The video still has a very slight color correction, noise reduction and sharpening. I don't know how the hell to disable this.

What I know is that VLC displays things right and that MPC-HC does not. As soon I boot up the ATI control panel MPC-HC readjusts itself to the proper output (it used to do this with dynamiccontrast too).

How to disable all these effects once for all?

Fixed.

Anyways, if you don't want to use something that ATi's settings will touch, try use Haali's Renderer or madVR. (not VMR, EVR, Overlay)

Can you post what DXVA Checker reports if you click on the top-right triangle and "Video Acceleration Settings..."? I had to change quite a few settings to get my HD4890 render properly in EVR CP, even without DXVA. There are a lot of flaws in the drivers, the 10-bit RGB problem is the most annoying. I tested Catalyst 10.10 and I had to revert to 10.5a again. As 10.5a does not up-sample chroma in 4:2:0 video and does not decode SD video with the h.264 codec, I really hope one that one of the next drivers will solve those problems.

I apparently solved the problem by going again through the registry and zeroing a lot more values. For example there's one enabling flashtones correction, or "mosquito" reduction. I zeroed all I found and now the output looks the same as in VLC.

DXVA Checker also only sets registry settings, and it can save those settings to a file. This is useful, because every time you install a new driver, many of those settings are restored to the driver defaults. It's good to know that your problem wasn't hard coded, but more likely a Catalyst Control Center problem.
