Of course it's important that the software is processing the signals correctly. The default is now vdpaucolorspace=auto,vdpaustudio for the vdpau filters in the profile, this should give correct settings for a TV standard display, removing vdpaustudio may work better with some computer displays but it isn't the correct levels.

I am unfamiliar with these filters. Are they documented somewhere? A search on
the wiki for vdpaustudio didn't return anything.

The custom filters field in the VDPAU setup screen was empty. Should it
contain something?
