Video Pixelation Issue - New HP Pavilion 15-P008TX Notebook - Windows 8.1
Ahoy,
I've seen topics regarding this issue - i.e. first day running a new HP Pavilion 15-P008TX, using Windows 8.1...
However the video quality on videos being played from the DVD Drive, HDD, and streamed videos (e.g YouTube) are extremely low quality.
Unfortunately I can't screenshot the issue - the best way to describe it would be to say that the videos look like YouTube videos being viewed on 144p
DVDs, and even 1080p videos are low quality and pixelated...
So far I've tried the following to no avail:
- Uninstalling and Reinstalling intergrated video drivers (Intel HD 4400) and Nvidia 3D drivers (Geforce 830M)
- Switching scaled views in the display section
- Installing VLC (with the latest codecs) to test if it was a codec issue
- Running a windows update
- Changing Graphic settings that may intefere with issues in quality (both Intel HD settings app and Nvidia 3D settings)
Windows Apps and programs aren't affected, only video playback.
First day of using my new HP Notebook, and i'm hoping to resolve this issue promptly.
Cheers.
Hello Whoissyntax,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
In terms of the video pixel issue, it seems like there might be a hardware failure. You have also done the majority of the troubleshooting. The only other steps I can suggest are here: Display Quality Issues
If you are not satisfied, I would contact HP phone support, or return the product if possible. You can utilize this website to learn how to contact HP appropriately, based on your region: Contact HP Worldwide
Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. Thanks for bringing this issue to the HP Forums. Have a great day!

No audio devices installed? (Pavilion g7-1318dx Notebook Windows 7)
Someone please help me out with this, I would be so so soooo grateful.
From out of the blue my Pavilion g7-1318dx Notebook running Windows 7 won't play any audio at all. It says that there are no audio devices installed. I've been reading other posts on this forum for a couple days now, and none of the options have worked for me. Prior to the audio disappearing I haven't updated anything or installed anything new (though yesterday, I did install a few updates hoping that maybe the problem was that something was outdated... but it wasn't). I did a system restore, and still nothing. Also, I can't record sound either (obviously) as it's telling me there are no audio devices installed.
I ran the device manager, and under sounds, video, and game controllers the only audio device listed is AMD High Definition Audio Device (which is what my notebook uses for audio apparently, when I connect to my TV which, incidentally, works fine!) but the IDT HD Audio Driver is not working at all. I've tried reinstalling the driver, but I get an error every time and it says it's unable to install it. The answer might be a simple one to someone out there, but it eludes me.
So....anyone out there who can help me? Please.You can try few more steps..
i) Completely uninstall IDT first from control panel and then download it from here
Temporily disable the anti-virus while re-installing the IDT.
ii) Run HP Support Assitant and check if any HP updates are pending..like BIOS Update..
Recently i came across a similar issue where the sound disappered after a adobe flash update also. So you an try uninstall/reinstall flash and check also.
Let me know what happens..
Also if nothing works then the last step would be to perform a recovery (factory reset). If problem continues after recovery also the it has to be a hardware issue..
Note:
If you have HP Support Assistant installed on the computer(The Blue Question Mark) then open it ==> Complete all pending Updates & Tuneups==> Restart and Check. It may solve your problem

Boot issues with HP Pavilion 10 touchscreen notebook
When starting up my PC today it came to the blue screen and gave me an error code: 0xc0000185 and informed me that my PC needs to be repaired. I then ran a hard disk check where it read SMART Check : PASSED, Short DST: FAILED and the Failure ID is RU12JW-71J7GC-MFPWWK-60WL03. I do not know what this means and any advice on what to do to resolve this problem would be appreciated.

HP Pavilion dm1-4310nr Notebook - Windows 7 or Windows 8 32 bit support
I need to install a 32 bit OS unto the laptop - is there support drivers available?
My situation is thus, I am working on Afghanistan and had used a HP Mini to travel with in my back pack. After landing at a base, my backpack got ran over by a Gator, destroying my laptop. While in Bagram I picked up from the PX a HP Pavilion dm1-4310nr, the only sub 13 inch available, unfortunately all of my software and drivers I use for my job work on a 32 bit OS.Hello InAfghanistan,
Unfortunately, not. Only Windows 8 64 bit drivers. I wish I had better news for you regarding this.
Thank you for your service.
Good luck!

HP Pavilion DV5-1140TX Notebook - Windows XP Anyone?
Hi there,
Intend on removing the default operating system (Windows Vista), that came with this type of notebook, and installing Windows XP instead. Any advice in this regard? Please advise.
Thanks & Kind Regards,
JulzHi,
Of course you can do that by getting a retail copy of Windows XP and that will clean or wiped out whatever OS you have in ur harddrive.
First of all create a Recovery Disc from the computer so you still have a chance to get back your original OS if it happens that you mess up your computer coz if not you will need to purchase a Recovery Disc from HP.
Get the important information of your hardware like the model, start with your LAN or wireless adapter..get the drivers for XP store it to a flash drive so
once you're done with the installation you can get your Internet Connection to work and get the other needed drivers for the Audio, Video Graphics Card, etc.. online.
Other hardware information can be found in device manager.

To many people, this might sound like a Joke when i say Firefox can't play any video on Yahoo News on any Windows 8 Laptop Touchcreen, but trust me, I have tried everything; re-downloading Java, Flash-player, Adobe...etc, I even called Microsoft Support and my Computer company but they all said this is Firefox drama they should be able to fix the issue. Please help. I have three Computers and all can't play any video on Yahoo News, (Youtube is playing great, no issues). Please help.
Is this the problem where it shows the loading icon (circling, circling) but never starts playing? Other users have reported that as well.
This is some standard guidance that addresses the most common issues with the Flash player plugin. I'm sure you've seen some of it before, but just in case:
(1) Make sure all recorders/downloaders that interact with Flash media are as up-to-date as possible, or disable them.
(2) Disable hardware graphics acceleration in Firefox and in Flash
(A) In Firefox, un-check the box here and restart:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > General > "Use hardware acceleration when available"
(B) In Flash, see this support article from Adobe: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues
(3) Disable protected mode (Windows Vista/7/8)
See this support article from Adobe under the heading "Last Resort": [http://forums.adobe.com/message/4468493#TemporaryWorkaround Adobe Forums: How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?]
Since you mentioned touch, does it matter whether you interact with the player using the mouse or your finger? -

I have Internet access, but don't have an ability to watch videos on our new iPad2. We are in a hotel, could it be their service or firewall issue?
If you are unable to view content that has already been downloaded then you problem is within you device. First shut it down all the way by holiding the sleep button at the top until the power off slide appears at the top of your screen. Then slide that and wait while it powers off. Give it a good 30 seconds to do this. then power it back up. if that doesn't work, you may need to call the apple care folks. One other option is to restore it to factory settings and reload it with the updates first and then sink your media to it. You should already have it backed up to iCloud, but if not, do that first then do the restore.

Screen display looks fuzzy using xf86-video-intel on a HP Pavilion 23
Hello,
First off I want to say, thank you for Arch! Been using some distros on and off and I think I found my /home! I made a full plunge into Linux a bit ago after some Windows 8.1 issues, switched to Arch and not looking back. Anyways, So far all my computers are either Arch or Manjaro which I am moving more towards straight arch as Manjaro does have some issues when updating your system (dependency loops). All and all not bad, just liking the full control of a pure system then building from scratch.
Ok, the issue at hand. I have removed Windows 8.1 from my HP All in One Pavilion 23 machine....what a nightmare that was.... Everything was good after turning off secure boot. I installed Arch Linux (3.14.4-1) x86_64, and I am having issues getting the xf86-video-intel driver to play nice with X.
I have taken a screenshot:
Screenshot
I notice this starts right after the choosing the Arch Linux from the boot option menu. It starts the load nice and crisp but after a second the screen flickers with some lines at the top of the screen, random colors, only about the top 3rd of the screen. This modules begin to load but the terminal text looks blocky and horrible.
I am using Openbox 3.5.2-6 with slim 1.3.6-4. Running xorg-server 1.15.1-1 and xorg-server-utils 7.6-3 with all the dependencies of course.

# The following modules are loaded before any boot hooks are
# run. Advanced users may wish to specify all system modules
# in this array. For instance:
# MODULES="piix ide_disk reiserfs"
MODULES="i915"
# BINARIES
# This setting includes any additional binaries a given user may
# wish into the CPIO image. This is run last, so it may be used to
# override the actual binaries included by a given hook
# BINARIES are dependency parsed, so you may safely ignore libraries

# FILES
# This setting is similar to BINARIES above, however, files are added
# as-is and are not parsed in any way. This is useful for config files.
FILES=""
# HOOKS
# This is the most important setting in this file. The HOOKS control the
# modules and scripts added to the image, and what happens at boot time.
# Order is important, and it is recommended that you do not change the
# order in which HOOKS are added. Run 'mkinitcpio -H <hook name>' for
# help on a given hook.
# 'base' is _required_ unless you know precisely what you are doing.
# 'udev' is _required_ in order to automatically load modules
# 'filesystems' is _required_ unless you specify your fs modules in MODULES
# Examples:
## This setup specifies all modules in the MODULES setting above.
## No raid, lvm2, or encrypted root is needed.
# HOOKS="base"
## This setup will autodetect all modules for your system and should
## work as a sane default
# HOOKS="base udev autodetect block filesystems"
## This setup will generate a 'full' image which supports most systems.
## No autodetection is done.
# HOOKS="base udev block filesystems"
## This setup assembles a pata mdadm array with an encrypted root FS.
## Note: See 'mkinitcpio -H mdadm' for more information on raid devices.
# HOOKS="base udev block mdadm encrypt filesystems"
## This setup loads an lvm2 volume group on a usb device.

So, it appears you are driving the panel at its native resolution. Unfortunately, trying to determine what you mean by "Fuzzy" is probably going to be like trying to nail Jello to a tree. But, let's give it a shot. Is it fuzzy before you start X? Are lines and shapes fuzzy? Or is it just text that is fuzzy?
If it is just fonts, it could be a problem with hinting. Hinting is where the edges of fonts are deliberately fuzzed and feathered to get the kerning correct when the physical pixels of the display don't quite line up. This works well, unless the thing doing the hinting does not understand the geometry of the display. In a color LCD, each pixel is actually made up of smaller sub pixels, generally three -- A red, a green, and a blue. Green is usually in the middle. Some displays have Two greens per pixel, arranged RGBG. Some displays even have yellow subpixels. Sometimes the subpixels are arranged left to right, sometimes they are arranged top to bottom. Long story short, if you have hinting enabled, but the geometry is configured incorrectly, bad things happen. Take a look at this wiki article -
How can i monitor network traffic to debug video playback issues from a NAS?
I am having problems playing videos on my new Mini that i am using as an HTPC.
I have a brand new Mac Mini running Lion with a 2.7 i7 processor and 8GB of RAM with a wired connection to a switch. .
My switch is a NETGEAR ProSafe GS108T-200NAS set to default settings. I haven't had a chance to start messing with VLAN settings or anything else. There is a bit of a learning curve on my part on this end.
My NAS is a ReadyNAS Pro (RNDP6000) with 3 x 1 TB hitachi ultrastar (HUA722010CLA330) drives and a 1.5 TB seagate (ST31500341AS) drive setup in RAID config using X-RAID2.
The problem I am having is video playback when accessing large video files off of the NAS. These are typically 1080 HD mkv files.
I have tested movies as small as 7.5GB with only slight stutters on occasion. I tried a 10.5GB movie and the stalling was much more pronounced. Movies larger than 11GB are completely unwatchable stalling every minute or so.
I have also tried large movies on the local drive and that is not a problem at all - they play back just fine. Beautiful playback in hidef. Mind you, some of these are the same files that were stalling over the network.
I have also noticed that some other network devices get kicked off the network when a movie is playing.
I think it has something to do with the transfer speed of files over the network and the switch - i am no expert at this mind you.
I am wondering if there is some sort of utility that i can use to monitor network activity on the mini so that i can fix my problem. Or has anyone made chages in their switch settings to optimize data trasfer speeds.
Any advice or recommendations on.
Thank you all!OK, I did a couple of things and ran things a couple of times.
First what I did settings wise:
I enabled jumbo frames on the Mac Mini, ReadyNAS Pro, and the Netgear GS108T switch. All with MTU set to 9000.
I went ahead and enabled jumbo frames on the rest of the computers on the network just in case.
After these changes I ran into the same problems with videos timing out - very annoying and frustrating as you can imagine.
Then I started playing with device configurations. My original configuration was NAS > Netgear switch > Mac Mini. I went ahead and switched the switch to an Airport Extreme I have as my WAP and the setup looked like this - NAS > Airport Extreme > Mac Mini.
Well, long story short, no go. It appears to me that the NAS is the one having issues providing the necessary data at the proper speed. I also tried playing sopme movies off of the NAS onto a desktop i have and had the same issues - choppy frames and crashing movies. I even tried connecting wirelessly to see if that would work.
BTW, I have the Mac accessing the file system using CIFS.
I don't know what else I could do.
I am going to have to go to the Netgear forums to see if i can figure this out. Hopefully, I can get things going to be able to help some people out.
If anyone has any ideas, they would be greatly appreciated.
My only other alternative is spending $2000 for the thunderbolt capable NAS that Apple sells - it's only money!

How should I best import HD Videos from the new iPad to my mac without loosing video quality?
The new HD video on the new iPad is awesome, but it can eat up a lot of memory in no time. I would like to know what is the most recommended way to export my ipad movies to iLife on my mac without loosing image quality, so i can free up space on my iPad.
If I use iPhoto I notice that the file size of the video from the new iPad is a lot smaller then if I use iMovie to import the same video.
Example: I import a 53 second video from the new iPad to iPhoto and the imported file has a file size of 143 MB in iPhoto. (iphoto save the video as IMG_0048.mov)
I import the same video to iMovie manually and the imported file size is 843 MB in iMovie. BIG DIFFERENCE. (iMovie saves that same video as clip-2012-03-20 16;13;08.mov)
Now to really be confusing: I go to Image Capture program and locate the file manually on my iPad and is has the same name and file size is what is in iPhoto.
So either iMovie is making the File a lot larger when it imports to an event, or the file I'm looking at is actually the iPhoto version that I get because I sync with iPhoto.
The second issue that I have is that now I have 2 videos on my hard drive: one in iPhoto, and one in iMovie for a combined data storage of close to 1 GB.
I would like to be able to import ALL my iPad recording into iPhoto and then delete the video from the device when done.
But if I loose video quality, I'm not happy about that. Secondly, by importing video from my iPad into multiple iLife programs, I'm creating duplicates with sometimes different quality. Any suggestions? is there a setting in iPhoto that can do all this for me?
RobertDon't use iphoto to deal with movies. it's not really meant for that. use Quicktime or iMovie to work with your videos

Video playback issues in Air for Android
Hello everybody
I am developing an advertisement application which plays multiple videos. I have faced a very strange problem: nor the simple Video nor the StageVideo are not visible when I run the app on target android device. I can hear the audio but the only way to get the video is to press back button and then get back to app but in this case the video goes over the UI. This happens only on a target device which is a chinese sibo android tablet. It has android 4.1 on board. I have seen a lot of people had the similar issues:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/5429125
but the solution mentioned there - adding <containsVideo>true</containsVideo> to the manifest xml doesnt help
I am using adobe air 4.0 sdk and the air 4.0 runtime on the device. I have tried to change renderMode to CPU/Direct/Auto but it doesn change anything.
The other three android devices I have - toshiba thrive tablet(4.0.4)/ eken tablet(4.2.2)/ htc desire c(4.0.3) play all the video content without any problem.
Any advice will be highly appreciated,

and more
All of these problems very important for our business. Often we cannot create stable AIR applications when we need to use videos.

Hello, guys! I have a bit of an issue with the new video message feature of Skype. That is, the option to send a video message is grayed out on every contact I have on Skype, but my friends can send me video messages and I can view them without any problems.
Skype version: 6.21.59.104 (searching for updates yields me that I have the latest version of Skype)
Operating system: Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1 (100% legal)
Camera: Turbo-X 1080P Full HD with built-in microphone (functions perfectly during video calls)
Internet Speed: Average of 100Mbps if I remember correctly. Fairly fast and functional 100% of the time (I don't know if it is relevant)
Note: I have no Facebook or Live contacts on my contact list. I do not log in as Invisible. Some of my friends do, but the option is grayed out for everyone, not just those that are Invisible. The only personal modification I have done for Skype is to block the advertisments by blocking access to apps.skype.com through my Control Panel.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It seems that everything you are telling me to do about video messaging is not working. Even going to the Help, About to check for the latest version of Skype is not working. I downloaded the latest version just in case. I want to send a video message but the instructions tell me to 1. Click on the contact and then 2. Click on the plus sign. When I click on the contact, I do not get a plus sign. I get a dialog box that has a paper clip beside it. I click on the paper clip and it has the "Send Video Message" there. I click on that and Skype tells me there is a problem. What do I need to do?
Help please. Thank you.
Most likely you are on the new Skype version with a different design of user interface.

Please, run the DirectX diagnostics tool (32-bit option).
Go to Windows Start and in the Run box type dxdiag.exe and press the OK button. This will start the DirectX diagnostics program. Run this diagnostics and save the results to a file. Please, attach this file to your post.

VIDEO IN on new Quad Core iMac?
Hello FOlks.
I have a Digital Night Vision Monocular I need to connect video in on my Quad Core iMac.
Can anyone tell me WHICH CABLE is the cheapest and best for this?
I need a standard video like from a camcorder plug, I've seen converters with multiple video input sources even.
I already read discussions about it, I just need to know WHICH MODELS work with the new video input feature of the newest iMac's like mine.
thanks

Message was edited by: Host <Corrected title to reflect OP question>Your topic subject line says "VIDEO OUT on new Quad Core iMac."
You will not be able to use RCA input (or any other composite input such as S-Video) on the new 27-inch iMac's Mini DisplayPort. The only input that works there is DisplayPort, which can be from regular DisplayPort or Mini DisplayPort output. There are some costly adapters that convert DVI to DisplayPort, but I do not know of any other type. One issue is going probably going from an analog signal to digital.
You may instead find success using a USB video input interface device. The most popular are by Miglia and Elgato. Such devices usually come with software that allows you to display and capture video input from various sources. -
Any fix for the "Hardware cannot render at the requested size and depth" when having two video cards issue?
Now, the strange thing is: after a few initial issues one of the macs is doing fine. The second one, on the contrary, is a nightmare. Finalcut gives a green screen of death and hangs up suddenly while performing simple operations (like dropping a clip on the timeline).
I'm thinking of trying to replace the two video cards with an older single dual display card, and giving up the fancy lcd monitors (that i bought at vast cost), at least until apple issues an upgrade that adresses the two video card problem. <
If the machines are mechanically equal, it's obviously not the cards. Although you can only be absolutely certain if you swap the cards between machines and see if the green screen issue follows one or both cards.
However, that new LCD display and card combination doesn't have much time in the pipeline so there could be other issues and you're doing the beta testing for all of us. Blaming the reseller is pointless; no one can keep track of all of these issues. We only find out about them only because of reported failures.
You should research the "green screen" here on the forum. I do not recall if there are display or graphics cards issues associated with it. That seems unlikely. IIRC, it appears to be a QT issue.
