PowerDVD4.0 - Error Code F4D41436

[Skuffy]

ok i checked... and it does... cant even work trough the menu

So i need new drivers coz i game alot more than i play dvd's but i do wanna watch dvd's on my comp with my friends

Any sugestions?

[ToonFan2002]

just use another or more dvd-player(s) - there are a lot and only nv dvd seems to have trouble with installed ac3 filters, whereas powerdvd won't let u play dvd's on your computer if your graphicscard has a tv-out as it is in my case

[Skuffy]

u mean like another program??? im not gona buy another drive ... i used to use winfast dvd but it the dvd would play very shockey and slow... power dvd dindt have that problem.

If it are programs u mean please give me some examples or tips... and please forfive me for my misunderstanding... im dutch

[ToonFan2002]

well, I don't know that many, but u can use the following:

-powerdvd
-windvd
-nvdvd

I'm sure there are more, but those are the one I've heard of, and I'm pretty sure each of em has some features that should work on your hardware - depends on what u need.

TV OUT PORT ERROR CODE F4D41436 w/ Sis 6326

I would like to thank ToonFan2002 and Qyd for helping me with my PowerDVD
problem. I am using Win98SE with a Sis 6326 Video Card. After purchasing a new DVD rom and installing the accompanying PowerDVD software I found that I was getting the message "Error Code
F4D41436 - the TV out port of your display card is not working properly" and subsequently could not watch DVD movies
on my PC. After reading your two articles I got the idea of trying a different video driver. I downloaded the Sis v1.32 driver from:

and was able to watch DVD Movies on my PC. Thanks again!

Hello ! I've come across the same problem (Error Code F4D41436)but I'm using Windows XP and the Sis v1.32 from the site sis6326 obviously doesn't do it. Where can i find the driver for Win XP which'll fix the problem ??

Thanks a lot for any help!!

[Roquenton]

Viola, in an effort to duplicate your problem I performed a fresh installation of Windows XP Professional Edition on my PC which has the Sis 6326 Video Card in it. The error in question did not show itself. I therefore do not have a solution for you. Sorry I could not be of more assistance. Good luck with your search for a cure.

Hi

I hope you don't mind my adding to this thread...
I have the same problem, in that PowerDVD has caused my system to crash and re-boot whenever I've tried to play a dvd or configure it's settings; Windows Media Player functions perfectly!

I downloaded an update and now my version of PowerDVD XP is 4.0.0.2417.
My video card is VIA/S3G KM400/KN400, with no conflicts showing in Device Manager and apparently supported by PowerDVD.
Driver is vtmini.sys

I got the DVD Error message "Error Code F4D41436 - TV out port, etc" whilst trying to get PowerDVD to play whilst in Safe Mode.

I do not have a TV connected to my computer!

I think I (sort of) understand the problem, but no-one seems to have exactly the same software/driver as I do and I don't know what to do next or where to go

I hope someone may be able to offer some help...
Thanks
TheRowan

hi guys,

i'm new to all this so please forgive me if i do anything retarded...oh, and let me know so i don't do it again! for instance, was i supposed to start a new thread? will anyone even find this?

instead of figuring out how to disable my tv outport (prolly woulda been the easier thing to do), i went ahead and installed an older version of nvidia. dvds would play, but then my xvids and such wouldn't work because my ac3 and xvid decoder wouldn't work (or so i think was the reason).

so then i decided to reinstall the latest version of nvidia and just figure out how to disable the tv outport. i didn't remember which version i bought my computer with, so i installed the newest version i could find....which i think is detonator 61.77...? long story short, my monitor blew up.

i can't really back track or restore my previous settings for obvious reasons. i'm afraid if i get a new monitor, my computer will just end up blowing that one up too. i have no clue what i did...? i am a girl and don't know much (obviously!) about computers--no offense to the guru chicks out there. can some nice person direct me please on how to remedy this? even a simple explanation on why this occurred would be appreciated.

please H-E-L-P!!!

ever grateful,
rowan

I had the same problem as you guys,
i was running this

Amd Athlone xp 2400
512 Ram
Asus Nvidia Geforce 5200
PowerDvd 4.0
Win Xp Pro Sp1
Nvidia driver 53.03

I tested DVD's (ALI G INDA HOUSE and Cruel Intentions)

everything was fine until recently i formatted my main drive and installed XP clean with SP2 immediately afterwards. I then noticed the error popping up in PowerDVD. I tried to install the older nvidia drivers but no such luck. However this morning i uninstalled SP2 and loaded the 61.76 driver from Nvidia and now
everything works fine with PowerDVD 4.0 deluxe version, I can watch both DVD's on my TV (S-Video Out) and on my PC monitor with absolutely no problems. Hope this may help.

Cheers

[TechNo1234]

Yes! It's that darn update. I just restored my computer back to before the update. Now everything works perfectly.

[Franticus]

But now i had to re-install cos of internet problems without SP2, but found WINDVD 6 which is running my copy protected discs...
and nicely too!!

Media Player classic should also work

Error Code: F4D41436

I had the same problem whenever i insert dvd:
Error Code: F4D41436
The TV Out port of your display card is not working properly."
My OS is Windows XP Home Edition SPS Pack. Thanks to this forum, I followed the suggestion to download nvida drive 61.76; I had it installed. Now I don't encounter the same problem again, I can watch those movies I could not before. TY
