Video playback

If you touch your software enough does it become hardware?

Video playback

Post by jeffclaw »

Hey ... another problem :roll: , this time its with video playback. in winamp and DivX i get this strange bright white video playback, I did have it in Windows media player aswell but i turned down the video accelaration and this got rid of it so I can view the file as it should be seen. I can't turn down the video accelaration in divx or winamp because i dont know where or even if they have video accelaration and I checked their websites but there is nothing useful on them.

So once again have you guys got any tricks I could do with my monitor or in the programs

P.S I checked NVidia Settings but i cant find anything helpful in there either (probably missed something though :? )

I would re-install your videocard drivers, and check to see if there is a "Overlay" tab in your Display Properties window.

For just working, and not cacking around with skins and sync and plugins and licenses and all that other complicated nonsense, I recommend Media Player Classic, which solved 90% of my playback problems at a stroke.

For DVD-type stuff I use Cyberlink's PowerDVD, which comes free with the PCs at work and has some very useful (possibly unique) codecs within it.

For anything else, which is usually just complicated Matroska-encoded Japanese anime fansubs, or partially downloaded erm..documents, then if you have all the codecs, The Core Media Player should play them.

For codecs, I use the Nimo pack, plus a few others(*) - installing only the default selection, as selecting everything really mashes stuff up.

(*)The Mega Codecs Pack, with the same caveat:

DivX bundle:

and Matroska pack:

Media Player Classic gets my vote too, with the various codecs. Does exactly what it says on the tin.
