Parallels + SlingPlayer = Blocky Video?

    Hey folks,

    I recently purchased a MacBook and installed Parallels (w/WinXP) and the SlingPlayer software. All installations and configurations were smooth sailing.

    However, the first thing I noticed when viewing the SlingPlayer is that the video is definitely "blockier". The video image on my XP-native systems has a nice soft look to it that is much more viewable. The performance in Parallels is great, but every pixel in SlingPlayer appears larger and more sharply defined, providing a poorer quality image.

    Am I the only one experiencing this? Are there any recommendations to soften the image?

    My next step would be to try Boot Camp to see if the same issue exists there, but I'd rather not go through the bother just for one app.

    Any info would be appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Dan
