Help Improving Quality

Postby SightUp » 17 Jul 2016 23:59

I want the very best quality that I can when watching shows and movies. I recently just bought a 1080 FTW. When I got that, I took the time to do a fresh install of Windows 10 64 bit. I also downloaded the newest versions of VLC 64 bit. Video now seems very slightly pixelated around the edges of things now during playback. I do not recall it being like this before the reinstall and upgrades. I searched a bit and saw people having issues with a grey screen. I am not having that issue here. What can I do to up the quality to like it was before the reinstall and upgrade?

Please go to Tools/Effects and filters/video effects/essentials..
Just make sure that everything there is unchecked.
If checked, it must be properly adjusted.
Windows 7 Pro 64 bit

Yeah. It's all unchecked. My install is completely default.

To improve audio sound, disable "Enable time-stretching audio" which is default.
The option is in the "Audio" tab of preferences.

Thanks for this! Audio quality is just as important as visual quality to me!

PS:

If you use equalizer, use "ISO-band" equalizer. VLC's original equalizer misses out very low frequency sound. To use ISO-band equalizer, from the Tools - Preferences;

1) Select "Show Setting" - "ALL".
2) Select "Audio" - "Filters" - "Equalizer".
3) Untick "Use VLC frequency bands".
4) Press the "Save" button.
