Have you tried using the newest DIVX player? It has Fullsteam support and while I will be the first to say that it isn't an end all, on heavily pixalated videos, it does seem to make a decent difference. I do hope that further support will be added to future media players and driver revisions as the potential for this technology is quite high if implemented correctly.

I was interested in this feature too, so WMP doesn't support fullstream yet? OK, I'll go download the divx player.

BiGBrOwNPimpsta · Jun 28, 2003, 09:14 AM

so it has to have fullstream then itll work eh... hmm aight. wut about the ATi player?

In DivX there is quite a difference. I love video shader.

BiGBrOwNPimpsta · Jun 28, 2003, 11:12 AM

hmm i jus installed it and enabled the support not really that much of a diff from wmp9

~~craig588~~ · Jun 28, 2003, 11:22 AM

I see a huge difference, my movies now look very nice compared to before.

BiGBrOwNPimpsta · Jun 28, 2003, 11:25 AM

i see no diff lol, and im a person who notices those things pretty easily. anywhere or any utility used to configure the video shader?

~~Crash Override~~ · Jul 2, 2003, 05:35 PM

did you click on the feature in the Divx Player to use it?

BiGBrOwNPimpsta · Jul 2, 2003, 06:00 PM

yep, and i conpared it to wmp9 same size next to each other the sounds were synced. wmp9 actually looked better witht he same video which was an asf file

Fullstream is fully supported only with DIvX 5.03 / 5.04 / 5.05 encoded movies. Fullstream does not work correctly with DivX 3.11 / 4.0 / 5.0 / 5.01 /5.02 encoded movies even if DivX 5.03 / 5.04 or 5.05 is installed on your system. So you must have movies encoded with latest DivX version...

hmm icic i have the doom 3 e3 video which is mostly like encoded with divx 5.0x but i still see no diff

If was encoded with 5.0 / 5.01 or 5.02 is no difference. Fullstream was integrated in DivX from 5.03 version above.

i thought this video shader crap is supposed to work on webcasts (usually in asf files arent they) and lotta "VIDEOS" ahem... bangbus for example is in asf. i thought this would really help! only the dvd quality is a bit sharper than the other cards i have used in the past otherwise still dont work

it is made for use in applications that support it

for instance RealOne will support it

also

for divx files it is almost all divx files that gain from it I believe as its the player that hosts the code for enabling the post processing

try using an avi file in WMP9 and in DivX player

BiGBrOwNPimpsta · Jul 4, 2003, 12:01 AM

yea i did that! doom3 e3 trailer. ok tell me what video u guys used i wanna see the difference!

The ati stuff is ok, but you must use the divx player.

FFDSHOW kills ati post processing and plays xvid and divx. Chews cpu cycles though depending on the level of post processing you use.

Not for the feint of heart. You can even use it to apply avisynth scripts in real time.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/ffdshow

ffdshow-20030103.exe is my favourite build - less features but has very nice version of Nics post processing de blocks very well

no need to have xvid or divx codecs installed with FFDSHOW

go here and learn

Media Player Classic - the best media player bar none - extremely configurable - works beautifully in conjunction with FFDSHOW

hope this has been usefull
