How to improve quality of a video.?
-
Hi, I am using DirectShow to capture and play video files in our application. I am facing one issue, whenever I play any HD video in our application, it is not of the same quality as it plays in any other Media player ( Windows Media Player, VLC etc....). Does anybody have any idea what can be the problem...What should I do to Improve the quality of a video. Do I need any specific codec or any dll which might be required for the same. Any help will be appreciated. Regards, Mbatra

How much is it worth to get your product working properly? I mean, you dont come here with a specific problem, you come here with a 'fix it for me' request. I want to know how much your company is prepared to pay to get their product working.

Ok fine. I have not gone too far. I was thinking I might go in the wrong direction. Please let me know if you need any specific information: Here I have elaborated what I want: I am working on a project in which I capture a video using a camera. Now that video plays fine. it will be of the same quality as captured using the camera. I have downloaded some HD video from the net. when I play that video in my application, that video doesn't look like its a HD video. its quality deteriorates somewhat. if I play the same video in any other software (Windows Media player, VLC or any other player which can encode/decode HD video), it plays fine. Wherever I search on any forum or on any site, I'll found that codecs which uses H.264 standard can better encode/decode HD videos and plays a video with high quality. Regards,

I am using FFmpeg, that produces libraries and programs for handling multimedia data. it includes libavcodec, an audio/video codec library for transcoding multimedia files.
And are there any better libraries around?

Hi Eric, I have installed this codec pack on my PC...It does not seem to make any difference....Still playing HD videos shows some blurness at the edges of the objects. I have seen when playing the same HD video in Windows Media Player, it is quite bright and of good quality. I was wondering what could be the difference in playing a video using DirectShow in Windows Media Player and my Application. Whatelse extra they are implementing or shipping with their product. What special codec or filter is being used.? Regards,

Hi Eric, I want to ask one thing if you have an idea. I have also searched and found that H.264 is the standard used for HD videos.... Now there are various codec using H.264 as the standard for encoding and decoding. One such is x264 codec which is open source and freely available. I have downloaded that codec, now will that work for my application also, if I play any HD file in my application. I mean to ask is it sufficient that a codec is installed on your PC and if you play any HD file in your application, it will encode HD automatically.? Regards,
