So you're saying that even that you're using the VGA port Nvidia recognize your Samy' as TV not as Monitor ? (I'm not familiar with Nvidia settings / drivers)

P.S. When playing this Brightness Test how many lines do you see on both the left and right side of the log gray scale ?

Nvidia settings off.

In MPC HC. "View-> Renderer Settings-> Output Range". I'm using EVR Custom.

With 0-255, I see 2 bars.

With 16-235, I see 3 bars.

Ok!

So, how should I leave it? 0-255 or 16-235?

0-255

Quote:

The background of this pattern represents "black" while the three vertical strips at either side represent 4% below black, 4% above black, and 2% above black. Ideally, one should only be able to see the 4% and 2% above black strips.

See Step 1: Brightness

Films were made for 16-235 viewing on TVs...

Well if you want to view other items on your desktop at the correct levels then your best outputting everything in 0-255 and if the TV operates at 0-255 natively (don't they all?) or at least takes 0-255 as input, I would also guess that the conversion from 16-235 -> 0-255 can now be done on the PC itself as good as, or even better than the TV would do (madVR / ffdshow / ATI / NVidia).

Just like its often better to de-interlace on the PC rather than leaving it upto the TVs de-interlacer.

Because he is using a Full RGB connection PC->TV (0-255) = VGA

Anyone know if there is a way to set the "user agent" string reported by MPC-HC when streaming http video? At the moment MPC-HC seems to report the string of the default browser.

If there is no way to do this it would be sensible if there was. Either a simple text box in the options or even a registry setting.

This isn't possible right now because mpc-hc uses the File Source (Async) Directshow filter - This filter uses the default browser.

It will happen when mpc-hc source filter system is rewritten.

i have a question to the alternative vsync in mpc.

when using it with windows 7 x64, i always got ghostlines just one or two every two or three minutes, but it isen't nice to see it.

is there anything i could do to stop it?

video card is a gforce 8600 gt with the latest nvidia driver.

Thanks, that's clear. I think there will be pressure for this over the coming months, for compatibility with certain sites

Uncheck alternative vsync.

@ADude

at the moment i unchecked alternative vsync, but for the future, i like to use it.

Snapshot bug

When taking snapshots I first pause the video at the frame I want, then I use "save image" command from file menu.

Sometimes the frame will move back 1 frame and then save that image rather than the frame I was paused at. So if I'm paused at frame 2222, mpc will end up saving frame 2221. I then have to move to frame 2223 in order to save the frame I want.

This happens using internal splitters and internal decoder or ffdshow decoder.

To reproduce it, try playing xvid avi, such as a tv show released on internet. Right after a scene change happens there is the first frame #1 (for example two people talking and it cuts from one person to the other). Framestep forward one frame using mpc shortcut key to what can be called frame #2. Now try saving snapshot of frame #2. Mpc will move back to frame #1 and save that image.

Seems like there are more unfixed bugs now than there were with the previous stable build.

Switching from the main video track to either of the PiP tracks on my Hot Fuzz Blu-ray either causes corruption or MPC-HC crashes.
