Difference in DVD MAX and Clone or Multi Display

[Edguy]

Outputting DVD's with DVDMAX looks noticable better than running Clone in full screen.
not only does the DVDMAX fill the entire screen... it simply looks better.

and the DVDMAX option doesn't matter what res you're at or anything. it just outputs the mpeg2 stream to fit the TV screen.

you should set the "aspect ratio detect" to "based on window size" and enable "preserve source cropping" for anamorphic dvd's to play correctly...

Anyone else noticed that you get better quality picture on your TV with DVDMAX when the window on your monitor is fullscreen or cinema size?
Seems to make quite a difference on mine.
Don't know about any difference in versions of Powerdesk as I have only used DVDMAX with 5.41

some movies start with a smaller window than "default" which makes the picturequality poorer, selecting size=default, cinema or fullscreen makes this good again...

seems to happen only on PAL dvd's tho.
can't see any difference with movies that start at the default window size when i select cinema or fullscreen.

Difference in DVD MAX and Clone or Multi Display

Hi there,
should or is there a difference in output quality between the different PD-options if I wan't to watch DVD on my TV.
I think there is, but should it?

And, are there any set-up options for the DVD-max option? I mean, does it automatically set the resolution for the TV?
