Playback problem

[Sokar415]

Hey everyone

My problem is that everytime I watch some video file, no matter what player I use, I will get a wave of distortion in across the middle of the display. You know its like in video games, except you can take care of that problem by enabling V-Sync.

Is there a way to enable something similar to the media players? Cause its getting on my nerves now

Thanks in advance to any helpful response

Welcome to the Vista forums

Try to update your video drivers and your display drivers

I have installed, and reinstalled my 9800GTX nvidia drivers, time and again it doesn't work

It seems that the problem old accures with .avi files and only if they are heavily compressed (HD like quality). But still, I cant see why my new computer shouldn't be able to run those without problems.

Have you OC`d anything or used any GPU/driver programs for changing the nvidia settings?

Yes I have OC'd the GPU, but its reset (haven't reinstalled drivers) and I use Rivatuner to increase the fan speed to 60% default (so its idle at 45 C instead of 65 C)

I suppose you want me to stop the fan change and reinstall the drivers to make sure Rivatuner didn't **** up the drivers?

lol You read my mind

It didn't work, obviously there is something else wrong

Do you mean you are getting tearing? What media player are you using and what codecs?

 

[Sokar415]

it doesn't matter. I have tried both Windows Media Player and VLC Player. I have CCCP codec pankage installed, I should be able to see all types of movie files. And I guess you can call it tearing, but its only in the middle of the display

Yeah thats tearing and it seriously does matter what codecs your using....It might be a few things either the codecs you installed are using old versions of xvid and ffdshow and are limiting the FPS of the videos, It might be the video itself not capable of playing at a high resolution, your driver settings or your monitor...

Check and reset any player settings, video card settings, monitor and resolution settings and try other things that are different to the config as its setup now and see if there are instances where it plays properly and we can move-on from there.
