Optimal quality

Post by Dallen »

Hi,

Thanks for a great program!

What settings/engine do you recommend for optimal picture and sound quality?

Hi Dallen, thanks for the kind words!
The default settings are the best for video and audio quality. If you have a DTS audio receiver you can also enable "Keep DTS tracks" on the Transcoding Settings tab to ensure maximum audio quality.

Easy enough, I can do that!

Do you also know if it should be possible to play 10bit movies without having to transcode them? I use Samsung Allshare on my E8005. I tried playing some 10bit movies but they wont open.

Thanks :)

10-bit support on renderers is almost non-existent so yes you probably have to transcode them, unfortunately

Aha owwkay, too bad yes.

One last question, I am streaming 1080p-files wirelessly from my computer, does quality somehow adept to bandwidth? Or should I just see stutter/lag if the network wasn't beeing able to follow?

From version 3.0 onwards we have a feature that adapts the quality for the content, so if you use the new release (3.0.0-a1) and go through the configuration wizard that will let you use this new feature.
