[WINDOWS] Video scaling in XBMC? - sahlen79 - 2011-03-17
Hi,
This may be a newbie question, but I was wondering if someone could explain the different resolution outputs from xbmc or windows.
I'm running XBMC on Windows 7 with a Radeon 5750 graphic card. I have a full HD LCD so naturally i run windows/xbmc in 1080p. However i've noticed that whatever video content i display, regardless of resolution, my LCD always says it displays 1080p. So i'm a little confused. Is Windows, XBMC, or my graphic card scale up the picture? I've also connected my video through a receiver that is capable of scaling up to 1080p but afaik this is not enabled atm.
For the record, when I play a 480 video source and compare it to a 1080p video source I do see a very big difference in quality (and resolution, I think) even though my LCD says it's displaying 1080p on both.
Would be happy if someone could explain this

XBMC is displaying the video at whatever screen resolution you've selected in Windows i.e. 1920 x 1080 in your case. That's why your TV thinks it's always getting a 1080p signal.
