No problem! :) BTW: I edited my post above! :approve:

Yeah, maybe the i2700G has a different way of reducing the palette. Maybe Picard could explain it better. I wonder why Dithering can't be enabled on the hardware decoder... maybe that could be something for a later TCPMP version.

I just checked Clip3 with the Raw Framebuffer mode. Yeah, it's far less visible, but still there especially if you tilt the screen and look closely - it's just a different, more subtle colour. I think i2700G + Dither looks a bit better.

If you use VirtualDub to encode, you can apply "filters" to videos before packing them with XViD or DivX. I'm sure there's one for reducing the colour depth nicely, maybe you could try that. If you tweak the colour depth when encoding, you should be able to have it look right and still get to keep the nice hardware accelerated rendering.

Actually, give me 10 mins and I'll see if I can repack Clip3 at 16bit without reducing the quality (and therefore introduce more artifacts ;) ) :approve:
