Powerpoint Style Themes Resolution Problem with Hyperspin (Blurry)

[Shippo]

So actually i couldnt find anything Online regarding this problem (seems like im also the only one as no one i asked had this problem. 

So long story short. Im Using some Powerpoint Themes for some of my PC Games for example (made some of them myself, some of them i found Online)

So outside of Hyperspin (when opening them with VLC Player for example), the Theme is Crystal Clear in HD (Here a Picture)

When Launching Hyperspin and starting the Same Theme, it looks blurry (even tough its just a MP4 file)

If you compare them you can see the Blurryness ...

I really dont know what is causing that, tried Many Options in HyperHQ but cant find a solution... Hope someone here can help me!

Don't use the files that are created by Powerpoint in Hyperspin.

Once you have made the theme, run it through a video converter to mp4 and see if that makes any difference.

I have made hundreds like this and found that I needed to convert them to use in HS.

Also the sizes are drastically reduced.

Once you export the PP file it automatically converts it to MP4 no need to use another program to convert it. Ive make hundreds of themes using PP never had a problem.

Apart from them being 2-3 times the size and they also cause audio issues for me.

Try running them through handbrake or freemake video converter and see the difference in size (without any loss in quality)

@Creezz67mike is right. Powerpoint already makes it an MP4 files. And as i said outside of Hyperspin the Themes are displayed right, only Hyperspin makes them Blurry...

I said try.

If you think you know better then DON'T TRY

Just use mp4 format and for audio I use fast 1080p

Check out the size difference once converted compared to Powerpoint, as it can be huge.

Also in HyperHQ see if these settings help.

So i converted the Video and used the exact same settings in HyperHQ as you but still nothing changed. Im pretty sure it has nothing to do with the Video but with something in Hyperspin itself or HyperHQ...  (but yes you where right, Handbrake is making these files much smaler)

Did you convert the blurry one or test another ?

[Shippo]

I think you miss understood me.. There is NO Blurry one.  The 2 Images Posted above in my Thread are the EXACT same Video. Only 1 MP4 File. One Picture is playing the File in VLC (Not Blurry) and the Other Picture is Playing the same File in Hyperspin (Blurry)

But to answer you question, yes i converted the God of War one which is displayed as Blurry in HS

How small were you able to get the theme using handbrake?

They look the same to me on the images, though obviously you see it as an issue on your PC.

maybe check power options on your PC and try using best quality to see if that helps

Can reduce a 300mb MP4 converted by Powerpoint to about 50mb for example, they are all different but always MUCH smaller

@Creezz67 just open the 2 pictures in a new Tab and switch between them, then you can see how blurry the one compared to the other one is... will check the Power Option...

@mikemelo the original file for me was 211mb, its now around 43mb

Sorry, I meant your Graphics card settings, just ensure they are set to use high quality, rather than high performance (if you have those options)

Its already set to Best quality, still nothing changed. Updated my Graphics Card driver (Nvidia) still nothing changed. Dont know whats the problem...

Have you got Hyperspin.exe running with Admin rights ?

Also try unticking Artwork C in HyperHQ

Not sure exactly what it does, but mine are ok and this is what I have done.

Also, how are you viewing them on your setup ?

Have you used a dummy zip file in themes ?

[Shippo]

@Creezz67first thank you for taking your time for helping me!

 

Hyperspin is set with Admin right, also i have these settings like you in HyperHQ in Special art (the only thing that doesnt match are the Numbers on the X and Y Positions.

And yes im using a Dummy Zip file for these Kind of themes

That's all I have unfortunately.

I have literally done over 1,000+ through Powerpoint and Handbrake and they are all showing fine on my setup.

Looking at your images I don't see any blur, so maybe i don't notice it on mine, though saying that I have them all on Launchbox/Bigbox setup too and see no difference when I compare them on both.
