5500 with audigy DVD Playback probl

I had my logitech 5500's connected to my onboard nvida soundstorm for awhile but i decided to put my old audigy in just for kicks. It installed fine, but i can't seem to find a mixing console or any other software besides the basic audigy console. My 6ch direct is really loud with music and sounds great but when i playback dvd with cyber dvd, the volume is severely diminished and the speech especially could hardly be heard at all.
I adjusted my settings in the audigy audio console with built it decoder and set my cyberplayer settings as SPDIF so the compressed audio would be decoded by my audigy soundcard, but it still doesnt work. any suggestions?

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

Attached mixing board with audigy sound card probl

i am using a mixing board with an audigy sound card the porgram im using has 2 channels a and b the music plays only on one port i used to be able to sue up the 2 different songs on 2 volume controls now both songs play in the 2 channels but sound is only controlled by one volume control?it has played properly for over 3 years with no problems until tonight?anyone have any ideas?thanks

Okay, I'm assuming you mean you have a stereo connection to rear Line-out and 2 and that you want both Line-outs to play the same stereo signal. If you are trying for something different, then post additional explanation, and we can go from there. I have not heard of an SB9400 before. You should be able to find the serial number on a white sticker on the card. That would identify the model. I think all Audigies have a Speaker Settings applet. So in Speaker Settings, do you have 4/4. speakers selected? If you have an EAX Console, do you have a CMSS3D option? (It might be called simply CMSS on some Audigies.) If so, select that. If you have a stereo surround option, select that. For the Audigy 2 ZS, for example, CMSS3D stereo surround will route the same stereo signal to Line-out & 2 (and optionally to Line-out 3).

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

Decode AC3 Dolby with Audigy ZS or Inspire 5500 digita

Hello, i need your advice, I have Sound Blaster Audigy ZS and Inspire 5500 Digital,
which best to Decode AC3 (6 Channels)
decode with Audigy or Inspire?
Thanks

arturjose,
You should have the sound card bypass the AC3 signal to the speaker for decoding. Remember to also have the DVD software setup to SPDIF bypass the AC3 signal.

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

Audio Probelms with some DVDS/BLU-RAY discs when using optical out to Audigy 2

I have my PS3 connected to my Audigy 2 ZS soundcard via optical?cable to play 5. sound on my PC sound system (Klipsch Promedia Ultra 5.). I have finally successfully played discrete 5. sound with some DVDs. I have changed my optical out setting to bitstream in the DVD/BD menu (XMB) and selected optical with everything checked in (XMB). So far, The Matrix, The Matrix Reloaded and Minority Report have worked in proper 5. (not stereo matrixing). Both Dolby Digital and DTS tracks (I know it works because it sounds twice as good as Dolby?Digital) ?work in Minority Report. The problem is... Jurassic Park (DTS) and my Blu-ray MIssion Impossible 3 have no audio (probably more too). The STRANGE part is if I fastfoward both films by .5x (so that audio plays in FF) I can hear audio. When FF by .5x the display signal on the top of the screen changes from DTS or DOLBY DIGITAL: Multi Channel to DTS or DOLBY DIGITAL: 5..
What is with that?Also I still do not get audio in any games, Resistance (Blu-ray)?or any game demo but I do get the audio from the game display screen (XMB). Please if anyone has?any?useful advise or information it would be greatly appreciated.
?Thank you!

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,
Blackhole

Any success with DVD playback?

Has anyone gotten a java application or applet to playback a dvd? I mean a commercial dvd, not a data dvd with video burned on it. If so, how did you do it? What libraries? libdvdread/libdvdcss/libdvdplay?

Did you find out anything usefull in the last 2 months? I'll be looking to develop DVD playback (on Linux) for a product towards the end of the summer - for what it's worth, I'll be looking at using SWIG to wrap libdvdread as the first step.

Black border on DVD playback with external monitor...why?

Hi all,
I've got a late 2011 MBP 13". Very happy with it (although use is limited as a DJ laptop - and, since I moved abroad, as the basis for a home cinema) and was quite happy to watch films / TV on it as it came. However, I wanted to be able to watch with other people and so have invested in an external monitor.
I have bought a Philips 23" V-line (model number 236V3L). I am completely happy with the picture quality etc but just have an issue during DVD playback:
The image (on fullscreen mode) has a 2" black border all the way round. I've tried fiddling with settings etc but can't seem to lose it...and don't know why. I wouldn't mind but obviously my 23" image is significantly smaller as a result.
Can anyone tell me why? When using the laptop in any other way (i.e. whilst typing this post) there is a 3/4" border on the left and on the right (but not at the top). Is it something to do with the aspect ratio? Is there anything I can do to fix it?
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts...
Regards,
Fin

I use my laptop and a Samsung SyncMaster as my main screen and my MBP as the secondary. I can drag the DVD window to the laptop screen, and then put it in full screen mode. Here is where the problem lies: When I click any application on the primary monitor, the DVD screen shrinks back to normal size.
In DVD Player's "Full Screen" preference. enable "Remain in full screen when DVD PLayer is inactive".

Did Apple Break HD-DVD Playback with Mountain Lion using Apple DVD Player?

First of all, kindly spare me the commentary about Blu-Ray beating HD-DVD. Agreed and not the question. I have perfectly good reasons for using HD-DVD and it works very well for my purposes.
I authored an HD-DVD in DVD Studio Pro 4.2.2. as I have done many times before on Snow Leopard, but this time on Mountain Lion. When I try to play the HD-DVD, either from the physical disk from a disk image, the menu appears, but when the play button is pressed, the menu stays on screen, but the player shows the timecode of the movie playing, but with no sound or picture.
Thinking that perhaps the menu got corrupted, I put the same HD-DVD into a MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard, and it played perfectly! Conclusion: Not a DVD Studio Pro problem.
Thinking that it might be DVD Player, I copied DVD Player 5.4 from the Snow Leopard MacBook Pro to the Mountain Lion MacBook Pro (which was running DVD Player 5.6), and the HD-DVD still had the same issue on the Mountain Lion MacBook Pro, under either of the DVD Player versions. Conclusion: Not a DVD Player issue.
The HD-DVD does mount and initialize, so it's not a hardware issue with the optical drive.
Conclusion: It would appear to me that it's an OS issue with Mountain Lion breaking (either intentionally or unintentionally), HD-DVD playback. Anyone know anything more about this issue? Anyone else saddened to see Apple turn into Microsoft circa 2005, and the MacOS turn into Vista? I haven't seen much of anything about it in the forums, which is why I'm posting it here.
Thanks Apple. I just spent the better part of 3 days transcoding and authoring this HD-DVD, only to have you screw it up for me 2 days before my film festival (the perfectly good reason for using HD-DVD). Kindly spare me the, "Why don't you encode a ProRes blah blah blah quicktime movie." Heard it all before.
I knew I would regret upgrading to Mountain Lion, and I do more and more each and every day as I continually find more things that it broke. Yet another reason to add to my list for downgrading to Snow Leopard. I'm up to about 30 of them. Or to abandon Final Cut for Adobe products.
Thanks and sorry for the rant, but I'm justifiably frustrated.

Update: The Apple Store in Nashua, New Hampshire replicated the issue on their own hardware, so yes, Apple did break HD-DVD playback with Mountain Lion (it does still work in Lion, they discovered). The Apple Store reported the issue to engineering, but the more people that report the issue, the more likely Apple will do something about it. Thanks Apple.

Digital Connection with Audigy 4 and DTS5

Hallo Everybody
I have the same Problem with the nice man in this post. (Felix2)
http://forums.creative.com/creativelabs/board/message?board.id=soundblaster&message.id=46632&vie w=by_date_ascending&page=
Exactly same problems! I emaild the Support and they replied me just trash.
So my base problem and thats in the linked thread above is to get a standard audigy 4 not a pro! optical connected to the dts 5500 er Station.
Please do not tell something of 5channel sound and ac3 and ac3 and ac3 its useless.
Please do not ask me about my system config, all works fine, the audigy4 works fine, my dts works fine and the speaker too. (Ive testet it with the 3 pole minijack connecters of my audigy 4).
So all works, but the opticalDigital connection not. (And i dont want to get 5. sound, i just want to get some sound, at the moment no sound comes out)
se give a statement why optical/digital connections not work on your products.
-Please give a statement why this is that difficult/confused to connect.
And a big bravo to Felix2. I wouldn't stay that cool like you if I get some horrible and wrong answers, especially of a "professional". Maybe you have a solution do get the DTS 5500 and audigy 4 get optical connected?
Greetings
Lex

Lex,
The information I gave Felix2 is not "horrible" or wrong, they are the truth. There is no need to start attacking again, if you are not clear on the information I gave in his thread, ask for more clarification, but do not attack.
If you are having problems getting it set up, it's best to provide some detail on what settings you have changed, how everything is configured, and someone will probably be able to help you.
The start of your post isn't very clear, do you have a standard Audigy 4 or an Audigy 4 Pro? The Audigy 4 Pro does have an optical output on the external dri'vebay, the standard Audigy 4 (just a card) does not have an optical output. You would need to connect through a coaxial input (minijack to RCA, then RCA-RCA).

DVD playback: screen goes black in full-screen mode

Hi. Having problems with DVD playback on 1 Ghz Powerbook G4 12 ". When trying to view in full-screen (or even sometimes in maximum) mode, screen simply goes black. Sound still works, but no visuals. As soon as I revert back to Normal size, visuals play fine.
Any ideas ? This is a problem which has developed rather than being with the machine since I bought it. Just for the record, I have 1.25 GB RAM installed and am running 10.4.5.

The DVD's I'm burning are not compatible with common DVD players

what am I doing wrong?
I guess there has to be others that has the same problem, I have read this thread but can't find any good answer.
All I can find searching here and Google is that I should change the "playback" DVD player, that it's not good enough for me!
I've done a 2x DVD package and I get a lot of feedback that Disc#1 is unplayable.
About the system since everybody asks for that:
MacBookPro - a lot of ram
the prject is on a external drive with enough space
FinalCutExpress - exported to selfcontained MOV files
iDVD (iLife'08)
everything works fine in iDVD - Save as DiscImage - burned in DiskUtility
Errors:
PS2 - reading disc... for 2 minutes - disc error
a DELL pc hangs (that could of course just be a coincidence crash
a TOSHIBA or HITACHI dvd player (new - plays everything) just says LOAD... in display
I've used Toast on the last ones - and they seem to work fine ?:-)

I have this same issue and I don't get it!
I just got done burning a DVD for a friend of the family who died - a slideshow of her life that was supposed to be played at the funeral. The funeral home called 10 minutes before the ceremony and told me that it didn't work in their player! (I've had this problem before with other DVDs I've made using iDVD. What's going on?
I always check the DVDs in my own home player first, and they work just fine - and our home player is not anything fancy.
Anyone have any advice? This is unacceptable! iDVD is not doing what it is advertised as being able to do!!!
Thanks for any help

Audigy2 ZS DVD-Audio Probl

I have just installed my audigy 2zs sound card. I have figured out and fixed the assorted bugs except one. I am having trouble getting DVD-Audio disks that have CMMP encryption to play. I have been to this forum and others like it and it seems that either windvd or the creative have a problem with the CMMP encryption.
Has anyone found a fix for this?
Those that are able to play dvd-audio disks what dvd dri've are you using?
I currently have two different dri'ves that I have tried it on to no avail.
NEC ND-3520A
Lite-On SOHD-67T
I have also tried a different software DVD player, PowerDVD, it didn?t work either but it reported that it could find the CMMP keys and then went and played the Dolby Digital part of the disk.
I would appreciate any insight into fixing this problem.

Hey , maybe a silly idea , but did you try it with another DVD-rom/ram. (oops you already did that)
This because with my older Asus E66(not the p & p2) i'd also a won't play encrypted dvd-a (won't even read , get a 0MB disk). I've solved it by bying a new DVD-rtom(they ain't that expensi've nowadays) and i can play DVD-A perfectly.
I play them with the Creative DVD-Audio player. But when i want to make copies i use PowerDVD6, and record from what you hear , because with creative DVD-A player it's impossible to record from encrypted DVD-A.
I'm so satisfied about DVD-A , that i boycot SACD already, LOL DVD-AS offers much more , but it's more expensi've for record companies to make , so they prefer SACD , but we want ... MORE
My DVD-A on my original Creative software and PowerDVD6 :
REM-Automatic for the people.
Iron Maiden-Dances Of Death (88KHz !!!! kicks asses)
Gary Numan-Anthology
The Crystal Method-Legion Of Boom
Linkin Park-Reanimation
lol and the Creative DVD-Audio Sampler Disc , with o so decent music
But here in Holland they're hard to find but there're about 600 DVD-A titles , record companies wants us on the SACD , but i want DVD-A, i'll never by a CD-Audio again, 2channels = like mono , i want da 6 channels with real sample rate Message Edited by www_96KHz_tk on 03-02-2005 03:59 PM

DVD playback

I am having problems playing DVD movies. The playback audio is slow and distorted. The video seems fine but may be a tad bit erratic also. I am using and an A105 S2021 running XP with the DVD device that came in the machine (HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GMA-4082N).
Herbert77060

There are 3 ways. First, go to the device manager then look under sound video and gaming controller. Second, checking on the add and remove programs on control panel. It should include a program that will say audio or sound driver (might be realtek or conexant). Third, check the detailed specifications of your laptop at support.toshiba.com. Actually there is fourth, tell me the model of your laptop then I will check it out for you.
