Postprocessing Issues

[MetalheadGautham]

1. I don't see an option to always enable postprosessing and set its level. If this feature doesn't exist, please enable it in VLC.

2. I tried to play an mpgv codec video with mpga audio, and I couldn't see an option for postprocesing under video with snapshot being the lowest option. Is this a bug?

3. You could also throw in realtime high quality resampling for audio(as in real prodicer basic).

4. and most importantly, I hope there is an addition to the wizard that helps automatically choose a codec for video and audio(usually H.664 or Theora and HE-ACC or Vorbis) and recode the video/audio such that the size REDUCES NOT INCREASES(while already setting the bitrate). several people want to transcode their videos and audios to reduce size but want to preserve quality. But many get troubled here, as the best option here is to transcode to a better format with VBR, but this has always increased the size in my case.

Yeah the feature exists. Go to: Preferences > Input / Codecs > Other codecs > FFmpeg > and go to the "Post processing quality" box and choose your values (in life ).

Don't ask me what that meant.

thnx got it... and same on tou you don't know what postprocessing is... it improves the appearence for videos. its gud for U tube vids.

OK so 2 of my requests are already present

atleast no one asked for a smart transcoder

I'm streaming a video using H.264 Codec and surprisingly if I USE post prosessing on in then the quality gets bad !!!!! though post processing still works for MPEG-4 but definitly NOT for H.264 because its already soooo much optimized and processed that if we try to process it FURTHER then it results in loosing the sharpness i.e too much bluring that actually required.

Yeah, I have the same problem with some divx and xvid encoded files too. Even at 1 the image looses sharpness. It also sometimes shows some blured block like things when at 6, and they are gone when i turn it off or set it to 1 again. I guess postprocessing is not that useful anymore if the encode is good enough...

your issues may be due to the system being unable to handle PP.
did you verify this on mplayer ? it has a different engine, so you can confirm.

CloudStalker, act mature.

I've downloaded some videos in H264 format and there seems to be no blurring or artifacts onscreen whatsoever. At the same time, post-processing has made very little visual improvement on my computer, it's just slightly better but nothing astonishing.

Errmm... MetalheadGautham neither of the 3 boxes over here is that old to have problems with post processing.

Anyway, I'll try to see what happens with mplayerui.
