Nvida-settings questions

I've been playing with my Mythtv setup trying to get the best playback / color possible. In the 260.19.21 drivers (all 260.xx.xx?) I've noticed I can select YCbCr444 as opposed to RGB. When I use YCbCr444 the colorspace is only "Limited" as opposed to either "Full" or "Limited" with RGB.

Should YCbCr444 only output studio levels (16-235)? If so should I not have to use the vdpaustudio option in mythtv?

The other item is "Dithering". With a HTPC should the dithering option be used?

One other question! Is there a command line option to see what the current video mode is? I'd like to play different files and see that I've got it switching to 1080p@24 or 1080p@60, etc.

Thanks!

Neil
