Ghosting when playing DVDs

Hi, using RX2600XT diamond and connecting to my LCD TV via vga. When I play some DVDs, especially dark scenes and fast movement, I see trails and ghosting. I see the previous scene for about few seconds on the screen and if there is arm movenet, you see the arm trail as a shadow.
These DVDs play fine on my regular DVD player and using the same DVD.
Any idea what is going on or what I need to fix this?
Thanks

What DVD software/codec are you using to play DVDs?

  • Satellite 1100-Z14: I get the only picture but no sound when playing DVD's

    I know mine is a fairly old notebook,but despite updating with latest firmware, I have an intermittent problem when playing DVD's (Reg 2) in that I get the picture but no sound, particularly with some older DVD's.
    CD's are ok.
    Toshiba repair agent says it is a software problem and they only deal with hardware problems.
    Can anyone tell me how I can deal with this problem please ? ( apart from getting a later model ! )

    I think I may have stumbled on the problem, I use IntervideoDVD7 and under audio effects there is an option
    'Sydney Theatre' etc, I changed it to 'off' and the sound cames back. maybe I should study their manual a bit more !

  • No sound w/ WMP when playing DVDs

    The picture looks fine and I have sound when playing music, video & Flash files. Also I have two drives and no sound on either of them and i have tried several different DVDs

    Hi rbfeik,
    Did you by chance upgrade from Vista to Win 7?
    If so, did the DVD player work prior to upgrading?
    Did you upgrade using the HP Upgrade Assistant?
    I'm thinking you need to install a Win 7 version of your DVD software.
    Here is the Win 7 64bit software and drivers page for your PC:

    Look for DVD related software and drivers.

  • A small logo of Dolby Digital or DVD-Audio missing when play DVD-A or DVD software with SPDIF

    I can see these logo before when I play DVD-A or play DVD movies with SPDIF enabled on DVD software such as PowerDVD. And now it's gone, when play SPDIF, it does not show these logos at all.
    I appreciate any advises.
    Thanks

    for the logos, someone asked how to know what kind of signal his card was decoding. I provided 2 examples:
    http://shingoyab.free.fr/creative/dolby.jpg
    http://shingoyab.free.fr/creative/dts.jpg
    if you don't see them but hear correct surround sound, don't bother. On some situation (not determined which one though) the logo disapears. I lost them some rare times. Last times was when listening to some DD music when programming small homeworks in OpenGL.

  • Quality loss when playing DVD authored in Encore on a HD flat screen

    Hi,
    I authored a DVD in Encore and i noticed that when i played it on my pc it looked fine but when played using a DVD player on a HD flat screen and projector there is a significant quality loss- the image became pixelated and glittery. I tried playing 3 other professional videos and they were all fine. Something must be wrong in the way i am authoring my video. The encore file is set to 720x576 at 25fps. I created a .psd menu page to match these dimension and besides the movies, both the menu page i created and the menu templates that are already there in the library when you buy the software, look glittery when played with a projector or HD flat screen and projector. Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Eric

    Lack of control over users players/TVs is a problem. And you can try to provide some instruction.
    You are right to test your product to see if you have a reasonable chance of your DVDs looking good.
    First, test them on a DVD player and a standard definition TV. Your test on the PC is not sufficient. If they do not look good here, you have  problems somewhere in your workflow. (I suspect this is the case. In my tests below, I see no flashing or issues like what you describe.)
    If okay there, you need an upscaling DVD player to test on your HD TV. You should also explore the options on that TV for setting size.
    For example, I just put a DVD in my Bluray player (hooked via HDMI to an HD 1080p TV). I can set the player and the TV separately to various resolution settings. Forcing the player to 480 and the TV to Normal gives a picture that looks like the original version, using a regular DVD player set to a 4:3 TV. But when I set the Bluray player back to "HDMI auto" (for the resolution), and the TV to normal, I see a pretty respectible picture.
    I did the same sort of test using a regular DVD player via regular AV cable. Discovered I had it set to the wrong TV type! I could not see a lot of difference in the picture, even if I stretched it. (It was distorted, of course, but not pixelated, just not the crisp look of HD.)

  • No sound when playing DVD video

    Hi,
    I have a K8T NEO2-FIR, Win XP pro. Basic system runs just fine. I have installed an LG DVD-ROM drive model GDR-8163B.  When I play a DVD video there is no sound at all.  On the other hand, there is sound when playing a music CD.  I am using the on-board sound (no additional sound card installed).
    I must be missing something pretty basic.  Any guidance would be appreciated.

    ...sounds like you need to configure the DVD playing software (PowerDVD, WinDVD, WMP, etc.)...

  • New MBP 17 - When playing DVDs/CDs rattles/vibrates every 10 seconds

    Hi everyone. Love the new machine but wondering if this is really normal. While playing DVDs, about every 7-10 seconds there is a ridiculous rattling/vibrating sound, sort of like the noise a 12-year-old air conditioner makes when it's on and the glass and window frame are shaking every few seconds. This can't be right. I assume I need to take this back to the Apple store -- or should I mail it back myself via Apple repair?
    Or are all the drives like this? I just can't imagine anyone being okay with a DVD soundling like a tire going over the warning treads every few seconds...
    Thanks
    John

    Hey guys,
    I notice there's a few topics going on for the 17 inch MBP now, so I thought I might help out. There is a topic here where some of us have been posting about the same problem:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2162948&tstart=45
    I previously had this problem with my unibody under Mac OS X (with 5400rmp Hitachi HDD), and I found a post on the big 100 page thread with someone suggesting a utility called HDAPM which might help. I have found that this utility did indeed help on my 17 inch unibody, I haven't seen a single freeze since running it, the machine is smooth as could be. Others in this topic appear to have had similar success.
    I posted some instructions here on how you can install HDAPM and set the necessary setting via terminal:
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10283888#10283888
    Maybe some of you guys should try it. One thing, this apparently may reduce your battery life slightly, but I haven't noticed anything too drastic.
    For anyone who does try, let me know if it works for you.

  • Pavilion 23 hot when playing dvd

    I do ot play DVDs very often on my new Pavilion 23, but I just put one in and noticed that the screen is very warm where the DVD player would be and the other side feels normal.

    Any help you could provide would be great!

  • Button Ghosts when played in a DVD Player

    Hi,
    I'm new to video and finally have a movie I'm satisfied with. I'm using the brushstroke theme for the dvd and it looks good too, especially when burned and played on my Mac. However, when I play the dvd on my tv or on my wife's PC, the selected menu button has a ghost, to the left when the button is on the left of the screen and to the right when the button is on the right. Looks pretty bad, especially when the button is text.
    Thanks for any help and suggestions to get this resolved!
    Steve
    PS. I tried searching, but couldn't find a similar issue, so if it's been covered before, my apologies. . . .

    Okay, I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer--should have posted this in iDVD. . .
    Sorry.

  • White screen when playing dvds. Please help.

    When I fast forward or rewind a movie on my Macbook the screen becomes white while the movie still plays. It takes about a minute for the white screen to go away. This has never happened before. Is there a problem with my Macbook or is it the dvd?

    I actually figured out what was wrong. On my "viewDeactivate" event, I was cleaning up all object references (including the StageVideo instance). So everytime viewDeactivate was dispatched, the blank white screen would show up.
    For anyone who runs into this situation (on the iPad), you should know that the viewDeactivate event is dispatched not only when moving between views, but also when alerts (or notifications) popup, when going back to the Home screen, and also when you double tap the Home button for the multitasking bar. Likewise the viewActivate event will fire when you return from any of the above mentioned states on the iPad, not just when moving between views. Knowing this helped me to fix the issue I was facing with StageVideo.
    Hope this helps someone.

  • Encore chapter markers off / different when playing DVD and when watching in Preview mode

    I'm using CS6 and Encore version 6.0.0
    I have a 120 min project with about 17 chapter markers. The markers were set to a older version of the project and then I extended the project by about 5 min and did a Replace Asset in the timeline. I adjusted the markers in the timeline. When I view the project in the Preview mode the chapters markers start at the right place but then I burn to DVD and they are off by about a minute.
    I've tried deleting the cache and buring again but it's still off.
    I think doing the Replace Asset messed things up but when it plays fine in Preview but not on the DVD something is really wrong.
    Thanks

    Update: I removed everything from the timeline and started over and entered the chapter markers. They are still off and now it's worse.
    I have 21 chapters. 6-10 are off the rest are ok. I am burning to a dual layer DVD but I don't think that would be the reason.
    Lastly, the DVD player skips over the final chapter it goes from 20 to the begining of the movie skipping Chapter 21.
    What the heck?!

  • No Audio when playing DVD's backed up on mac through Front Row

    I have backed up my DVD library to an external hard drive and created an alias so that I can access them through front row. When I play them in the DVD player I have no problems, but when I play them in Front Row, I don't get any audio. Has anyone experienced this before?

    Unfortunately, it's against the Terms of Use to post about "ripping" DVDs. It may be legal in your location, but in the United States (where these forums are hosted) it's illegal so you can't post about it. My advice, would be to post your topic again, including the exact details about the files you've saved (what video format they are) but skip the part about them coming from DVDs... If you've saved some VIDEO_TS folders, this may be a little more complicated, but you could say they were your own DVDs from iDVD. This topic will probably be deleted since it violates the ToU.

  • Tecra M5: Create Overlay Failed message appears when play DVD

    When I try and play a DVD on my Tecra M5 I get the following message "Create Overlay Failed" and a suggestion that I reduce my resolution or colour depth. I have taken these down to the lowest possible levels and still get the above message. I have checked the drivers for the graphic card and DVD Player and both seem to be up to date.
    Any suggestions.

    Hi
    On many forums you can see the same issue on various notebook models but no single solution works for everyone.
    Check please if the extended desktop option is enabled. If yes disable it.
    1. Right-click in an empty area of the desktop, and then select Properties.
    2. In Display Properties window, click the Settings tab.
    3. On the Settings tab, click to clear the check mark from Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor, and then click OK.
    Some users have reported that opened Netmeeting causes this issue.
    Please check also follow page: http://player.interactual.com/help/support/articles/0015.asp
    Good luck!
