Bad picture with RadLight

[Matlock]

With some video-files I play in RadLight or Windows Media Player, the picture is of bad quality, kinda like using windows in 256-color-mode. However, the problem doesn't occur when I play the file in Winamp 2.91, or Vidomi player. It's annoying though, since these programs doesn't support subtitles. I tried installing a later version of Nimo codec (5.0 build 7), but it didn't help. It's a mystery to me how it could work with some programs and not with others. It resembles somewhat the problem I had earlier with the "green screen", but it's not the same. Those files work perfectly now in all programs. G-spot tells me I have the codec needed...

Anyone have a clue how to fix this?

maybe you could try players like bsplayer, zoomplayer 3.x or windows media player 6.4?

it seems that winamp and vidomi use built-in filters to decode video. it can explain that only directshowfilter compliant programs (wmp, I guess RadLight too...) have problems.
btw, what's the video codec (+ version) needed ?
if you are a "final user" (you only play, no encode), I (we) recommend ffdshow (alpha) to handle divx/xvid/mpeg4.. playback.

The problem occured with files using the DivX 3 Low-Motion codec. After installing ffdshow it works fine though. Thank you very much.
