Spacecreepkitan Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 I've been having trouble getting great picture quality and it's driving me nuts >.< I've got the cccp and I'm hooked up via hdmi. I'm not quite sure how to describe the problem so here goes, it seems like I'm getting too much blurr and the picture is a bit grainy ? When I hook up a crt monitor via vga with a dual link dvi adaptor it looks fine but I'd like the awesome to be on my main monitor :/ any help would be appreciated.

dark4yoyo Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Umm well it isn't CCCP then. It may be your HDMI cable or your monitor or the HDMI output or input. What kind of screen is it ? TV ? Could you make a screenshot or a video of it so we can get a better idea of what it is ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroPenguins Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 I already know why, you're trying to play a smaller resolution video on a HD monitor. While the old CRT monitor the resolution is a lot lower therefore it wouldn't look like it's pixelated or blurred. Try using sharping filters on CCCP or just use MadVR.

dark4yoyo Posted February 24, 2012 Report Share Posted February 24, 2012 Oh yeah if you are using DVD rips don't expect great quality. But if you're using 1080 Blu-ray rips then it's probably somewhere in the hardware. I have no problems at all with CCCP on a HD projector using 1080p Blu-ray rips. I didn't change anything in CCCP settings and the image is great. Also mini-encodes will look pretty bad even if they are 1080p. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spacecreepkitan Posted February 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 It's 720p Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood. It looks good on the same monitor with the dvi to vga adaptor. ALL games look great, I just don't get it. it might be worth mentioning that I'm using a 32 inch 720p (1366x768) lcd tv. I'm running an i7 2700k @ 3.5ghz and two gtx 580s in SLI I'm pretty certain it isn't the hardware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koby Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Well I've got 720p Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood running through MPC-HC w/ CCCP on a 40 inch 1080p TV through the regular monitor cable and it looks great (although I also own the Blu-rays so not much point in me playing the 720p encodes).For the record though FMAB was only animated at 540p, and thus the Blu-rays are indeed upscaled.So you're saying it looks good on the tv through the vga cable, but looks bad through the hdmi cable? Sounds like a bad hdmi cable, hdmi port, or a combination of both. Unless I'm misunderstanding what you mean.Either way the issue should not be MPC-HC w/ CCCP as even the default settings would look great depending on the video.

† L4ugh Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Does what your seeing look anything like below?It should look worse but photobucket won't let me upload the image in the 1440x900 resolution it should be in.I've been having this problem ever since I updated to the 10bit version of MPC-HC. It does this every time I go into fullscreen. I don't believe it's a CCCP issue, because it doesn't do this when I play the video with WMP. I have tried uninstalling/reinstalling both MPC and CCCP, but neither helped. I even tried running ccleaner in safe mode to try and make sure I cleaned everything out before reinstalling, but the problem always returns.

Then you can just run your 10 bit in the new and use the old version for everything else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
† L4ugh Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 It doesn't matter what the bit depth is though. It does this with any video I play in fullscreen. As long as it's 8bit I can still play it in XBMC which is fine for me. It's downloaded 10bit videos that are my biggest issue now. I can use VLC 2.0, but like I mentioned in that thread. I'm having issues with the features I'm likely to need when playing downloaded anime (mainly linked segments). I've personally given up on trying to figure out what this is, but I thought I'd post a pic to see if it's the same problem creepy is having.

Probably VMR-7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably VMR-7.Thank's for the tip. I tried what you mentioned and it seems to have worked. It only works with the Haali Renderer though. I haven't notice any difference in picture yet, so I'm not worrying about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spacecreepkitan Posted February 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 The jaggedy lines thingy in the picture ? because yes I was getting like that and some other nagging quality issues. I suppose it's possible that it's my hdmi cord, I have a cheap rca hdmi cord ( $10 ) that I got from Kmart hooked-up via my evga mini-hdmi adaptor. My initial concern was that I might have bad gfx cards but since the image seems better when I switch to the dvi port on the same card ( with vga hooked up via an adaptor ) I can probably rule that out, right ?
