What kind of hd software do I need

[alanwest09872]

Right now I use cccp for my codecs and that seems like all I need and everything works great. I am always looking to improve my picture quality though. I read stuff like Nvidia PureVideo HD or CyberLink and such and they claim they can increase my picture quality. Now is this true or is it all just to get me to buy there product.

I have a projector and a bose 5.1 system. The projector is hooked up with component and the audio is hooked up with fiberobtics. So if I am looking to get the best picture qualtiy possible what should I get

Picture quality would be more reliant on the original source, anything else is just guesses. You cant REALLY upscale DVD to BluRay. You want a better picture get a better source media.

Then you should be fine.

Yes.

IMO, get yourself a video player like KMPLayer or VLC, and tweak, tweak, tweak until you get the right settings. That's about as good as you're going to get without higher quality source video. Anti-aliasing goes a long way toward helping low-res look better.

This doesn't mean a damned thing. mkv is just the container for the content. The content could range from low-bit 480p to direct BR rip at 1080p at high bit rate.
