There are a lot of reasons why banding can occur: 1) on PC screen - lot of notebooks displays has 6bit color depth. It's 262k colors instead of 16 millions. Driver dihters 8 bit image to 6 bit display, so result is worse than true 8 bit display. 2) banding in video. It's cost of high compression......

Thanks PJ. Knight: What I meant was, if your card has the power to decode the new codecs, h264 etc, you will do fine. Although you will suffer from color banding which is an all new issue for me, in my other thread. Not a fault of Splash. Nvidia need to get their thinkers out of their stinkers. Hav...

Yes I tried without it, didn't work...

Honestly in these days I'm having a dilemma: use the "effect" of the catalyst or turn them off. Use them or use light and detail bost of splash?

Hi, I noticed that watching some serial in MKV format I have a strange problem: the video play well but sometimes the image got stuck for like 1 or 2 seconds with the audio going on, then it suddenly moves and for 1 or 2 sec is like a fast forward, with the audio normal. Is like it got stuck then go...

If you've got a decent Video Card, Splash is good. I like that it is stand alone and has its own decoder. Cpu usage is surprisingly low. As for settings, I do not use Motion2 because it is not needed. It depends on the file you are trying to play. Use MEDIA Info to get more detail on your files. Wh...

Hi!

Two questions for you, my Splash pro friends:

1) What is your "Best settings"? I use 10 5 5 (motion, detal, light boost)

2) A friend told me that I could get a better quality image using madVR decoder and force it to be used with SP. What about it?

Hope to receive some answer
