Media Player Hangs Playing MPEG Files

On systems using the InterVideo WinDVD player (including ones that don?t

contain NVIDIA components), Media Player 6.4 halts if the slider is adjusted

while an MPEG clip is playing. The problem also occurs if Active Movie or the

Movie Player on the Windows 98 CD is used instead of Media Player 6.4.

There are two ways to work around this problem:

? Under Display Properties > Settings > Advanced? > Performance, set

Graphics Hardware acceleration to None.

? Uninstall the WinDVD player.

This is not an NVIDIA bug

I would have thought that in Mediaplayer 7, 8 and 9 that the problem would have been fixed.

But who knows.

I use Windows Media Player 7.01.00.3055 and it does not halt if the slider is adjusted (I'm assuming we are talking about the slider controlling time). It's just WinDVD that does not grab the screen. I will try to switch acceleration off and see if it helps.

Thanks a lot

Are you using the latest WinDVD? Doesn't hurt to ask since that solved another WinDVD problem once before. PowerDVD as well with the "enable hardware acceleration" being greyed out.

Oh well...I did not change anything and it started working after rebooting yesterday morning. (I had already done the needed reboots to start/conf DualView etc.). It's been working so far. It's WinDVD version 3.2 DXVA.

Thanks for your help.

Tenstrum,

The link is no longer available, as I have since added the beta settings to my INFs.

In that case, I've tried it and I have the problem with having about 1/2" of blackness on the right side of my screen as well.

My laptop:

Toshiba Satellite 2415

P4 Mobile 2Ghz

Geforce 420 GO 16 MB

512 MB RAM

40 GB HD

Win XP Pro

Any luck finding the problem?

Hey Pieter!

I downloaded INF ver. 11.67 directly from your site and did 'Update driver' from the hardware manager. It fixed the 'black bar and dual view problems' but something happens with the game Call of Duty. It gets to the main menu screen and starts 'flipping' like an old projector stuck on one frame. I tried reinstalling direct x 9.0b, but it still does it. Call of Duty was the reason I updated anway. Any idea of why it flips??? Before i did the update from 43.xx to 53.03, the game would just crash. now locks up my system with the flipping. Older games run fine. Any ideas??

Sorry to bother,

Tenstrum

Excuse my ignorance with games.

Is COD a Quake engined game, there seems to be problems with Quake engine and 5x.xx drivers.

If not it might just be another little quirk that 5x.xx has.

Have a look at the COD website for any update patches.

Pieter.
