What are the optimum settings on KMplayer/VLC/GOM/ orany player you like to play the following video formats on Samsung 2233sw:
DVDRip
BDRip
HDRip
My system config is in the signature. I want these players to use my graphic card for post processing and other effects to improve the video quality.
 
U can use PowerDVD H264 codec and watch movies in Windows Media Player 12 with hardware acceleration.
Or use the free Media Player Classic Home Cinema and enable DXVA.

Both give the same results, except that the latter has more features to play around. :P

U can check the below site:
Accelerate x.264 1080p movies over the GPU Guide

Be ready to enjoy bliss after making the settings though. Get the Dark Knight 1080 and enjoy on ur Samsung...:P

Thanks. Useful link. But I am now trying to figure out the best settings to play DVD movies(480p I guess). It seems to be coming off all blocky. I don't think it is up-scaling well. It is however doing a fine job of upscaling when I use deinterlace shader along with one with [SD][HD] in its name.

CoreAVC codec with Klite codec pack will do better job with x264 and other rips.

Also change setting to overlay mixture or EVR Custom Res in options of media player classic (which wll be installed by installing klite codec pack)

Free-Codecs.com : Download K-Lite Codec Pack 5.0.0 FULL, K-Lite Codec Pack 5.0.0 STANDARD, K-Lite Codec Pack 5.0.0 BASIC : K-Lite Codec Pack is a collection of codecs and related tools

K-lite has ffdshow which is a software encoder which won't use the graphics card but the proccy and hence its not et all advisable.

CoreAVC is the best software encoder out there but still why use the processor when a graphics card is lying around useless...:bleh:

If u are wondering why i said so!
CoreAVC supports Nvidia CUDA for hardware acceleration in Nvidia cards which the OP doesn't have.
No hardware acceleration for ATI cards, since they lack CUDA.

Hence comes only option as MPC-Home Cinema or the PowerDVD x264 codec which hardware encodes using ATI or Nvidia cards to play movies in Windows Media Player or Media Center.

Avoid Codec Packs unless necessary. I have never installed a codec pack since last 1.5-2 yrs and never been unable to play any media files.

@OP, for ur monitor
Play DVDs in Windows Media Player. If they are local DVDs with 3 movies in one :P, it won't look good. Original DVDs look fine.
XviDs look crappy compared to a HD, else they are surely watchable, even 700MB rips.

HD Rips are the way to go if u have anything above a 22".

Use default settings for DVD-Rips and DVD. No need to change anything. :cool2:
 
@clown_abhi : Thanks for the advice. Repped you.

I have a ATI card, so this sure applies to me as well, I think.
