> CCCP requires no configuration. But does not update... > FOSS with the exception of No comment... > We were talking about dithering though (which that comparison also demonstrates), so unless the matrix issue was directly linked to the dithering issues How do you do the dithering if it is not during the YUV->RGB conversions, aka the matrix? If it is not done there, it is done in swscale like all the other players... > Also, chill down a bit, will you? I am usually quite calm, as you can see on this thread or the reddit one. But I'm not to people like you, who are at the limits of insults (and not on this thread, I know). Once you plan to speak correctly, maybe we can talk in a calm down way.

What do you mean by CCCP "not updating"? It got an automatic update checker last winter and is actively developed.

>How do you do the dithering if it is not during the YUV->RGB conversions, aka the matrix? I thought you were referring solely to the fact that in the comparison I posted, the video was incorrectly converted with BT.601 instead of BT.709 on VLC's end. Anyway, I'm home now, which means I can properly compare stuff (at last). Dithering certainly seems to have improved since the last version and BT.709 is used as well. There's something weird going on, however - the colors in VLC appear slightly off for some reason (and it's clearly not the usual suspects of TV/PC levels or BT.601/BT.709): http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/42453 http://screenshotcomparison.com/comparison/42453 Still, a notable improvement for sure.

  This is very very far from the "haha, morons, 4K; morons, 10bits" comment you did... Sorry, but the color difference is very very slight (if even noticeable), and are you sure the issue is on the VLC side? Did you try mplayer2 and mpv?

    >This is very very far from the "haha, morons, 4K; morons, 10bits" comment you did... Uhh, what? I have not written something like that about the new version anywhere on the internet. But for the record, I do think marketing VLC as "4K-ready" is silly - there really shouldn't be anything special to 4K besides the bigger resolution, meaning that if you have the resources to decode it, you should be able to play it, and it has been very much possible with other playback solution (and likely even with older versions of VLC? I haven't checked). In a way, it's similar to this[1] - what it's advertising is actually nothing new but because 4K is the hot new marketing term of the day they're going to plaster it all over the damn thing.
