New CVS Build Features Increased Video Quality
This new feature/improvement to Xbmc basically went right over my head but was pointed out via a reader in the comments.
After reading about it on the X-S thread I've seen the light. I was going to post some before and after shots, but you can't take shots while in the overlay mode, it gives you a black screen. Definatly upgrade and check it out though. It looks great. Just remember to go to Settings > My Video > Filters to change the renderer from Pixel Shader to YUY2.
The new render methods (YUY2 overlay), greaty improve the video quality.
