Enhanced Sopcast Video Quality : A tutorial using ffdshow decoder.

**dapxin** · 16-08-2009, 18:56

I noticed some people was asking for simple ways to enhance the picture quality (color + brightness + contrast ) so I decided to post this.

Without enhancement

With Enhancement

Here is the url

dapxin - ffdshow + sopcast: watching streams at enhanced video quality.

Hi All,

I am new to the forum and would like to say hello.

i am just looking for some advise on this tutorial.

I ran through the steps and everything worked fine.
I installed both the ffdshow and the filter to my local drive but when I followed the steps via media player only the FFA icon appears at the bottom of my screen.

I located the FFV configuration icon and dragged it to my desktop - should it still work this way as it didnt seem to make much difference when bumping saturation to max.

sorry if im not clear enough, harder to explain when typing.

any help appreciated

@Mellio,

I know why that happens. When installing ffdshow, make sure the tickboxes around VC-9 or WMV/WMP are ticked and marked as ffmpeg. Sorry I cant do a screen grab now as I am on a darn mobile.

Here is a tutorial on installing ffdshow properly
