Title: DVD playback options
Post by: jgreen on June 27, 2006, 05:00:02 pm

The DVD playback option "Use video mixing renderer 9 if available" is more of an option to make DVD playback stop working altogether, if selected. 

The on-the-fly video CC controls are very nice.  Saturation seems to be responding in a non-linear manner, 90% of the visible effect in the last 10% of the scroll.

Check "Use VMR9..." and select a video decoder or an audio decoder, or both, manually. Will that make it work?

Thanks, yao, that did the trick.  Without knowing that theoption for renderer #9 (whatever that is) presents a dead end.

Somehow Microsoft's automatic DVD graph building mechanism does not work well with Video Mixing Renderer 9 in conjunction with certain MPEG-2 video decoders (it works fine on my machine). Manually selecting a decoder forces the program to build the graph manually which appears to work better.

You might want to look at Zoomplayer's system of presets for known working decoder chains.
