videofx veiwer quality

[jstanthr]

The quality on the veiwer window is pretty bad, i've scaled it larger and smaller than the source with no differences. i've scaled the source with no differences either. the source is the grid frame on my priest, the veiwer is on my pally with click through enabled. any ideas?

I remember similar problem where the source window resolution was very poor, but it got fixed when source resolution was set better

if u are using layout where uve got one big window for main toon and small windows for 'slaves' then quality will suck. If u 'stack' ur wows so every wow will use exactly the same resolution it will look much better

ISBoxer FAQ: Why does my Video FX view show up pixellated/low resolution/low quality?

The above link contains an explanation of why this occurs and links to what you can do to improve it.

all five windows are 1680*1050 using one on main monitor other four split on 2nd monitor

While they're all rendering in 1680x1050 as per your Window Layout, they're not being displayed at that resolution as you describe because you've got four of your windows split into a quadrant on the second monitor.

If you don't display your windows at 100% of their resolution you will get degraded Video FX viewers. By using 'Full Screen Stacked' as Alge's link suggests, your windows will be displayed at 100% of their resolution.

To add to what MiRai said, one of the things I did for my EVE setup, besides stacking the windows full-screenish, was to have my second monitor as a dxNothing window with video feeds showing the bigger portions of the windows. This is in addition to the VideoFX small repeaters for watching the ship health bars in the main window. There's no reason you couldn't do a full-window video feed to your second monitor and simulate having them split over there.

Not sure if that makes a lot of sense to you. Holler if you want and I'll try to explain in more detail.

That's definitely the way to go, if you really are more comfortable with a quick fix then make your grid/party frames for the healer 4x the size of the display feed you pipe it into. I used that with more or less success for months before I finally switched over to video feeds and stacked windows.
