| *'''Post-processing Filter'''
| |
| **Allows you to enable / disable the processing applied to videos by XBMC (played with [[MPlayer]]) to make them appear better on screen. It allows for the following options:
| |
| ***'''Automatic Post-processing'''
| |
| ****Chooses an amount of filtering based on perceived image quality and spare CPU time.
| |
| ****Note that the Automatic Post-processing function in XBMC is currently broken and makes the output worse instead of better, see the bug-report [http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1015165&group_id=87054&atid=581838 here].
| |
| ***'''Vertical Deblocking Filter'''
| |
| ****Where blocking becomes visible you may begin to recognize that the picture is actually composed of a lot of small squares that move around as the video plays.
| |
| ****De-blocking is a post-processing technique applied by the decoder on-the-fly to reduce the blocking effect, helping to blend adjacent blocks together smoothly. This filter smoothes out the vertical edges; the associated number parameter denotes the smoothness. Too high a number will make the screen look foggy and increase CPU load.

| |
| ***'''Horizontal Deblocking Filter'''
| |
| ****Same as above; This version smoothes out the horizontal edges.
| |
| ***'''Auto Brightness/Contrast'''
| |
| ****Attempts to compensate the picture of movies which are too shot too light/dark/foggy. May produce artificially looking colors on bad source material.
| |
| ***'''Dering'''
| |
| ****Ringing is typically most visible around highly contrasting edges in the picture. Where ringing occurs it is possible to see subtle bands of color around the contours of these edges.
| |
| ****De-ringing is a post-processing technique applied by the decoder on the fly to remove these faintly colored bands, helping to improve the playback quality.
| |
| ****Definition source: http://support.divx.com/cgi-bin/divx.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=380
| |
| ****Note that deringing is quite hard on the CPU while providing less improvement then deblocking.
