Excellent work. Are you contributing these upscaling-related features to the linux branch as well? Would love to see as many of your non-mac-specific enhancements end up in the Linux branch as well. :) Looks like the libavfilter stuff mentioned by Gamester17 would be the most proper way to proceed but maybe a quicker "hack" that would yield results would be to take a look at the most commonly used ffdshow settings (avsforum's HTPC section has plenty of good info) and just port those? -Matthew Elan,

About 4.5GB and 40 minutes long. It sits there for about 3 minutes and is finally able to back out of it and return to normal. Looking forward to the next release!

To remove locations, use the 'C' button to bring up a context menu. @Paul: WMA Pro files aren’t likely to play any time soon, unless ffmpeg or some other project releases support for them (or we implement .dll loading).

( Got a WMV hd movie with WMA pro audio but the audio doesn't play. ) - I can't remove locations I made. It is getting a little bit messy. For the rest: Love OSXBMC:D This is getting better with every step:)

There are definitely some interesting horizontal line artifacts, but the overall quality seems to be the best. We haven't tried a double-blind test, but hey, women know what they want, right? :) Well, lanczos won the wife upscaling bake-off.
