I recently updated my ffdshow, as it was probably a year or so old, and I needed an update to play other files. However, now when I play my speedruns, they appear pretty pixelated. Nothing horrible, but certainly not what h.264 should be. Any reasons why this might be?

<Autoguesser type="Missing information" enable="true" extra="incomplete topic title"> By pixelated… do you mean how it looks like when you zoom it to full screen? I assume it looks normal when you play it in normal window. </Autoguesser> Ensure that you don't have multiple instances of the media player active at the same time. In some display cards/drivers, only one of the windows can use accelerated features (hardware scaling of window). If the window uses software scaling, it will most likely appear pixelated because Windows does not perform interpolated scaling by default. A 3D game running at the background may also occupy the hardware scaling slot. If that doesn't help, try rebooting. If that doesn't help, check that your display card's acceleration settings are normal (maxed out). If that doesn't help, ask someone else :P
