DVD Playback problem with H/w accel on Ti4200

Hello folks,
I have a problem with DVD playback using WinDVD Platinum on my MSI 128Mb GF4 Ti4200 (MS-8700). When I play a DVD with hardware acceleration enabled I get a sort of ghosting or delayed flash photography effect similar to that which gives headlights trails. This doesn't occur with the Detonator 40.72 drivers
or MSI 41.07 drivers but occurs with
the NVidia 41.09s, 43.00s and now 43.45 drivers under WinXP SP1. The problem only occurs with hardware acceleration enabled and has happened with both DX8.1 and 9.0. I didn't have this problem with the 41.09s under Win2k SP3.
Does anyone else have this problem or know of a solution.
Thanks,
Morpheus
System Specs:
Athlon XP 2000+
512MB DDR Ram
Asus A7V333-R
Soundblaster Audigy Player
Realtek 8139 based NIC
Win XP SP1
DirectX 9.0

Sound is fine its just the picture that has the problem but I have narrowed it down further by downloading WinDVD Tweaker. If I disable DxVA but leave hardware decode and colour selected the problem isn't present. Therefore I suspect something has corrupted my DxVA   drivers however as I originally had 8.1 installed and then installed 9.0 in an attempt to fix this I don't think a reinstall of DX will solve the problem.
Any ideas.
Cheers,
Morpheus

  • Audio playback problem with HP mediasmart DVD player

    Hi I have just set up my computer and linked it to my tv with a HDMI lead, I have been able to toggle between my pc speakers and my tv speakers on programmes such as windows media player and other HP mediasmart programmes but when I use HP mediasmart DVD player - a DVD will allow me to change from pc speakers to HDMI but I cannot change to HDMI (TV) sound when playing a Blu-Ray disk. I have tried changing my defult to HDMI and its just not working when playing BLU-RAY disks. anyone got any ideas? i have all the latest updates (running windows 7)

    I have a ThinkPad T61p which I got one year ago. About one month ago the following problem suddenly appeared: When I want to play a DVD with WinDVD, I get the message "no valid Drive/Disc Found". When I eject and then start the DVD again, it takes about 4 minutes to start the DVD. Everything is very slow, the movie is croppy and I can often hear the laser head moving back and forward. I don't have any problems with other media like CDs or self printed DVDs with no region code and copy protection. I also have no problems with another DVD drive of the same kind (I have a DVD/CD-ROM drive). I tried to solve the problem with the troubleshooter (I have Windows XP), but nothing helped. My settings seem to be all right. Could anyone help me with this problem?

  • Annoying video/DVD playback problems on new Mac mini (2010)

    I have a Mac mini at home right now, latest edition (2010).
    I am very surprised to find that DVD playback exhibits signs of stutters here and there. Not huge stutters, but I can constantly see small "skips" and what seems like frame drops here and there. Playing back the same DVD on a $120 Blu-ray-player shows no sign of this behaviour.
    I have tried this on two different TV sets (one 720p and one 1080p), and the mini is not able to play back a DVD without these stutters/skips. Two different blu-ray players play the disc just fine (I have been using Ghost Dog to test - check chapter to and the scenes containing panning, it's easier to notice that way).
    It seems ordinary video files playback (files from HD, 720p, mkv) exhibit some of the same behaviour, though this seems more dependent on which app is used for playback. Quicktime seems worse (noticeable stutters/skips), VLC 1.1 a bit better (though both DVD playback and file playback show signs of stutter), while XBMC is the best of the three, with very little frame drop (if that is in fact what it is).
    Any idea what's going on here? Why will such a expensive machine with HDMI output not play back video properly, while a cheap Blu-ray-player does it just fine?
    Are there any known issues?
    (sorry for posting this in the wrong from earlier!)

    I have not used the dvd player app in my 2010 mini, but I've certainly played every media type under the sun since receiving it.
    It plays them all without dropping frames, stuttering, pausing, etc.
    Are you using dvd player with dvd disc images, video ts folders, or actual DVD discs in the drive?
    If you're playing a disc image or video ts folder, are you accessing them over wireless networking? If so, try them on the internal drive, or over a wired network connection.
    Try turning off the option is in energy saver that allows drive sleep (system sleep can stay where it is, just turn off *hard drive* sleep).
    For best performance, make sure you aren't running other apps besides the media player app that you're using at the time.
    Make sure you don't have software or utilities running background tasks (such as disk warrior, drive genius or tech tool pro).
    If you have external devices connected (including printer and/or scanner), try the system without them connected. Does the video playback improve without them connected? If it does, then try reconnecting them one by one to figure out which one of them is related to the problem.

  • DVD playback issue with Windows Media Player

    Hi,
    This isn't an Encore specific question, rather, a DVD playback one. Has anyone had issue playing their replicated DVDs in Windows Media Player? I truly believe it's the media player, not the DVD.  When we put a DVD in the drive and try to open it in WMP, it jumps right to a video, or jumps directly to the last place we were in a video.... it's not defaulting to the main menu.
    Has anyone experienced this? Is it a programming glitch on my DVD? I feel like it's a WMP issue, as it's only happening on certain computers.
    thanks.

    WMP has never been a good player for DVD's. At some point in the past, much of that functionality was disabled my MS, in hopes to reduce piracy. For some versions, no burned DVD would even play, though replicated/pressed DVD's were supposed to play fine.
    I use CyberLink's PowerDVD and it is fine, even with my burned DVD's. The free MediaPlayer Classic HC plays my discs well too, with full menuing.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • DVD playback blurry with Kaffeine/Xine

    Hi guys,
    I wanted to watch my first DVD under Linux yesterday and I noticed that the image quality is really, really bad compared to watching the same DVD under Windows with PowerDVD.
    DVD playback in Kaffeine with Xine engine is really blurry. Does anybody know what the reason could be? There's a lot of options for xine engine parameters in Kaffeine, but I don't have a clue about them. Any tipps appreciated.
    I've also tried kmplayer, but the image there has small black horizontal lines in it, which looks really weird. I thinks that's called interlaced, right? I'm a total video noob. ^^
    TIA,

  • FCP External Video Playback problem with HDV

    Hey all. I just got the Canon HV30 HD camcorder and it is excellent. I am able to import the HDV footage to FCP no problem. I'm recording in 24p mode by the way.
    I can't seem to get playback from the timeline back to the Canon so I can see the edited footage on the Camcorder's LCD screen. I've tried everything. All the settings seem to be grayed out. How am I suppose to get my edited footage from the computer back to tape? Help is much appreciated!
    Greekappi

    I'm not the person at our facility that does this, but we do it all the time. However we are using the Sony HDV decks, 25U or something like that.
    I have also seen the stuttering video you described, I'm not sure why it does this on some projects and not others, it is very random. When it does stutter I render out a complete self contained Quicktime and then print to tape from that. However, I occasionally still have this problem with that? But it does seem to help more often than not.

  • DVD playback problem or exporting problem?

    I recently did a video for a singer to be used on a local video channel. I shot the video on a Panasonic DVX-100P at 24 FPS. I edited the project using Final Cut Pro 5, converted the video using Compressor (to MPEG2) then imported all the contents of the video processed into DVD Studio Pro. Here's the thing: the video plays fantastic on my Macbook, plays wonderfully well on my friend's television as well. But when it's played on other DVD players there is a serious problem with the artist's music being synched to his movement. In other words, it doesn't play right on other DVD players. My question is what setting do I need to check or change to make this thing play right on all players. All comments and suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for all the help!

    By bitrate, i meant, what settings did you use in Compressor to encode your video. The Bitrate you provided is not a bit rate, but a frame rate. The audio "channels" you provided are AC3 and PCM, but DVDSP only allows one type of audio per project. I would suggest using only AC3 and compressing all AIFF. Are you using Apple Brand blank discs?

  • Update on playback problems with AIR 3.5 on desktop

    Adobe has received reports that desktop AIR 3.5 users of BBC iPlayer and Digital Theatre Desktop Player are no longer able to play or download video after upgrading from AIR 3.4 or earlier.  Specifically, the user will attempt to play the video and will get a black video window or will fail to successfully download videos.  Adobe is working on a permanent resolution for the issue in AIR 3.5.  In parallel, Adobe is working closely with the BBC and Digital Theatre to offer support and investigate interim resolutions.  We will publish an update as soon as we have released the fix.
    In the meantime, the work-around for affected users is to migrate back to AIR 3.4.  The following link provides instructions for determining the version of AIR currently installed on your machine.  If you believe you may be experiencing a video playback problem caused by migrating to AIR 3.5, your video service should be able to tell you whether they believe going back to AIR 3.4 or earlier will resolve the problem.  If instructed to do so, the following steps here can help you uninstall your current version and locate and install a specific AIR version for installation on your Windows or Mac PC.
    Please feel free to report your issue or reproducible steps here and we will alert you once a fix has been put in place.  We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your continued support.

    Please note that I have followed the BBC's instructions to uninstall Air v3.5 and iPlayer Desktop and then install Air v3.4 and iPlayer Desktop, but contrary to what they and you say, this has made no difference - iPlayer still can't download programmes to iPlayer Desktop and it still can't find the programmes I had previously downloaded. I surmise that maybe uninstalling wasn't enough and that some fault remains that still prevents the programme from working. I am not an IT expert, so I would need more comprehensive instructions to fix this.
    You may like to note that I downloaded Air v3.5 several days before iPlayer Desktop failed, and I am pretty sure that I used iPlayer Desktop in between times. After it failed, it was very reluctant to even open, let alone do anything when, after repeated instructions, it finally did open.
    You may also like to note that I began to experience a ridiculous amount of buffering on radio playback straight from the BBC website before and after iPlayer Desktop failed. I don't think it can have been a broadband issue, as I could stream both TV and radio live and I could stream TV playback with no problem. Since reverting to Air v3.4, I have had no buffering. I doubt whether this is a coincidence.
    I have an Acer 5745PG with Windows 7, Intel Core i3-350M, NVIDIA GeForce 310M and I use Firefox.
    Don't you guys beta test stuff?

  • Playback Problem with Tascam Interface

    Hello,
    I am new to Logic, and I seem to be having a playback problem. After a quick search, I realize this question is asked a lot, but I have yet to find a solution that has worked. I am using a Tascam US-144 USB 2.0 Audio/MIDI interface with Logic Pro 8. Logic is recognizing the interface, allows me to record, and even displays the wave forms that my microphone picks up. However, I cannot monitor while I am recording or play the recording back after saving it. I've attempted to do this with the built-in iMac speakers and headphones. I've tried various output combinations, read the manual front to back, but have yet to find a valid solution. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    In the About Logic window it says it's version 8.0.0. I checked Preferences->Audio->Devices->Core Audio. The"Enabled" box is selected, and the US-144 is selected as the device. There doesn't seem to be a tab in that window to select an output. On the bottom left of the screen under "I/O" I have Input 1 selected as the input and Out 1-2 selected as the output. Do I need to select a different output in that tab, or do I need to change it elsewhere?

  • Playback problems with USB in vehicle.

    Hello hope someone can help! I have just got a new iMac and am starting to send music to my usb flash drive that I was previously using on a PC and when I add the new files to the usb flash drive my songs scroll through the new ones and then play. So when I use my mac I basically cllick and drag to my usb. I have 55 songs on it right now. Then I go out to my 2013 GMC and plug it in. It starts to scroll through all 55 tracks then starts to play the first song on my list but says track 56 when playing. I never had this problem with my pc lap top. When I get to the end of the list it scrolls through all of them again and starts all over on track 56. How can I fix this? I just went out and bought a new flash drive thinking it was the problem but still does the same thing. PLEASE HELP!!!!!

    I just had the same exact problem last night. Got the 6th gen iPod Nano in Dec & last night the sound just stopped coming through the speakers in my car but the ipod is playing, it shows up on the screen in my car. It plays fine w/ the headphones & in itunes. I do wonder if it will play with my portable speakers I have at home though, haven't tried that yet?! I also have a 5th gen iPod nano & that plays fine with sound and all...someone please help

  • Satellite X200 - HD-DVD playback problems

    Hi,
    I've recently acquired an Satellite X200.
    I decided to upgrade to the latest drivers and applications found on the Dutch support site.
    Since I now have my first HD-DVD player, I also bought the latest Harry Potter on HD-DVD.
    Playback with no upgrades didn't work, so I upgraded to the newer HD-DVD player.
    Playback worked fine now, but when I upgraded all other stuff (Broadcom decoder, NVidia drivers, etcetera), playback hangs after just a few seconds.
    I now rolled back pretty much everything and I can play the movie fine again, but ofcourse I would really like to keep my drivers up to date. Anyone here with similar experiences and (hopefully) a solution?
    Another problem I have is when I hook up my TV through HDMI, playback stops.
    The TV is not HD, but can downsample HD signals perfectly. I have an XBox 360 connected that I tested this with, but with the Toshiba, it just won't play.
    Again, any and all tips are welcome...
    Maurice

    Hi there,
    I would suggest you to reinstall the whole system and update your BIOS since it could be that the software is a bit overloaded or your system has too much stuff which is probably unnecessary.
    Mostly the problem surely could be a damaged driver so please try e.g. a display driver from the european driver download site, maybe the work better than the dutch versions.
    I assume that the problem is somewhere to search on the display drivers since the issue sounds really like them.
    Is your X200 a SLI machine? If not then you could try this site www.laptopvideo2go.com because they have the most actual drivers and they fitted the drivers for mobile system.
    Good luck

  • DVD Playback Issues with Dual Layer media

    I have been using DVDSP for years now, and have rarely had any issues with burning my final projects to DVD. Any playback issues have usually been issues with players and +or-R media.
    I have recently upgraded to a MacPro, and have been really stoked about being able to burn to Dual Layer media. My previous G5 didn't have a DL burner.
    I have a large project that fills most the disk, and everything seems great in the software, and when playing the media files on the computer. But when I burn to disk, I have huge issues with playback on different DVD players, computers, etc. I have stuttering with menu's, freezing, and stuttering with playback of video.
    I read that the issue could be because of the speed I'm burning at in DVDSP, so I saved as a disk image, and used disk utility to burn at a 4x speed. This seemed to help, but when I got to the end of the movie I had huge issues with stuttering/playback quality. So I burned another copy from the same disk image, and it wouldn't even play in my DVD player.
    When I open the Video_TS folder from the DVDSP Build, and play right off my hard drive in the DVD software player, I don't have any of these issues.
    So I'm guessing my problem is either my DVD media I'm using, or the burners on this new computer. I've burned DVD's on both burners (yes I have 2) and I still have the same problems.
    I am using Memorex DVD+R DL and they are 8x.
    Can anyone offer me some advice here. I really wish I could just hit burn and have a disk work. DL media isn't all that cheap and I don't know how many coasters I can make and keep my sanity.

    I used compressor and I used the DVD: Best Quality 90 Minutes setting. The bit rate is avg 6.2 and maximum 7.7. And yes I used ac3 audio.
    When you say lowest speeds possible... shouldn't a burner that says it burns at a speed work at that speed? I'm cool with burning at a lower speed to get this thing to work, but why have a burner that burns DVD DL at 8x speed, when it doesn't work? Shouldn't it work? Why is it that it won't work?
    If I get Verbatim DVD+R DL, can I burn at 8x speed with those?
    When I burn in disk utility I used the "varify burned data" and everything checks out ok. So why do I have this issue. Just curious.

  • Playback problems with external FLV's

    Hi everyone,
    I am working on a site that loads all of the pages into a
    holder as swf's. Everything in the site works well, except that the
    first page takes a little longer to load than I wish it would. I
    want to find a good pre-loader but, for now, I am trying a
    different approach.
    The intro / opening page is a video I made in After Effects
    and imported into flash's time line, it is around 2.3MB and loads
    in about 5 seconds (to start playing) as a SWF. To make it load
    faster I re-exported from After Effects using cue points to trigger
    copy changes that had been sequenced in the timeline with the video
    before which works great, and imported the video as an external
    file that is loaded when the SWF loads.
    The problem is, once the "page" loads and plays and I
    navigate to another page, then go back to the home page, the whole
    flash system seems to be running much slower. Even rollovers and
    fades are taking a lot longer than before and the video playback is
    very choppy. The intro is a repeating flv that loops with AS3 that
    I found in another forum.
    Is there a way to "reset" the flash container so that each
    time it loads a SWF there is no residual data left behind? That's
    the only reason I can think of that would cause this kind of issue.
    I know that "unload" is not a function that is still available in
    AS3.
    Any ideas or suggestions are more than welcome.
    Thanks!
    Jeremiah

    You should backup your data regardless.    It is not a question of if you will lose data but when.   "Do you feel lucky today?" (asked Clint Eastwood in "Dirty Harry").  Here are several solutions:
         https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-1992
         A backup with bad node is still better than no backup at all. Once you are backed up, you can use Alsoft Disk Warrior to repair those nodes, if the hardware of the drive isn't failing.
         You should also be aware that node issues can start when the hard drive gets over 85% full.

  • WMV Playback Problems with Snow Leopard

    With Leopard, WMV files on my hard drive played almost instantly. I had Quicktime 7 Pro and Flip4Mac (free version). Ever since upgrading to Snow Leopard, WMV files go through a tedious load process which often slows down playback. Whereas AVI files play instantly. Why do WMV files take so long to process? What can I do to speed their payback?

    Quicktime Snow Leopard is a MAJOR step backwards and causes huge problems when trying to play back WMV files - the files may start to load and play in a reasonable timeframe, but it can take 1/2 hour or more to load large WMV files, and you cannot fast forward to the end of the video until the file has finished "loading". I expect much more when forced to pay for Flip4Mac to see what everyone else on the internet can play for free. This is reminiscent of the old 56k dial up days - WAY TO GO MAC. My new PC is on it's way... ya lost me.
