    DXR3, Divxplus, HH+, Win2k

    Hi this is my first post so i hope someone can help!

    I have been trying to get divx files to run from my machine using the creative DXR3 card. I am using windows 2k, SP3 and have installed hollywood drivers and divxplus as required for hh+ to work. I have installed the DVD station and that plays dvd no problem so i know it works. When i run HH+ load a divx file, it starts playing the audio and my tv flickers and then does nothing no video is diplayed.

    I have searched many forums and people say they have it working, so i know it is possiable. What i would like to know is if you have it working what drivers are you using for the card. What opperating system and service pack are you using. what version of hh+ is running and any advice you can through my way.

    Hope you can help ch33z31

    I have used the "Release 2.2 beta (Build 139_5) June 15th, 2001" drivers on my win2k system. I have not tried HHplus. But with Divxplus it is possible, but extremely difficult to get a good picture. I have successfully used the following procedure

    1) Start single instance of divxplus: black screen, with sound.
    2) Start another instance of divxplus: video and sound from both appear. But picture is messed up.
    3) Shutdown one of the two instances of divxplus: I get Video and sound, but video is messed up (picture have rolled about 100-200 pixels to the right)
    4) Repeating step 2 and 3 I get the same results over and over again.
    5) Shutdown all instances of divxplus, and repeat step 1-3: this will eventually give me a good picture. (usually takes 2-5 tries).

    This has been done with SP2 for win2k and DirectX8.

    Needless to say that I have long since switched to another much more stable solution, A matrox Marvel G450eTV. It's an expensive solution If all you want is divx playback on TV. But The quality is the best I have seen.

        The above has worked on both a 750mhz Duron on a soltek SL-75KAV and a Celeron 900 on a MSI MS6337EP.

            And of course the language is not going to matter. But if you must know I have used both english and danish.

            But Divx5 might be the problem, back when I used it I was using divx4.12.
