very f*cked up playback problem...

[soulwaxke]

heya
i'm having this weird problem since a few hours...
when i open a video file (mpeg, divx, xvid, doesnt matter), it plays perfect in the original window, but once i resize the window, or put it fullscreen, it starts either playing VERY choppy, or playing in a small window in the left under corner of my screen.
i was like wtf??!

since then i tried everything;
-reinstalling videocard drivers
-uninstalling ffdshow
-installing ffdshow again
-removing all codecs and reinstall them all
-using tsunami codec pack
-using bsplayer

NOTHING works!
anyone got a suggestion? would be HIGHLY appreciated

update/reinstall your vga drivers

at least this solved my problem quite ome time agao when i had similar problems

maybe even OLDER vga drivers might do the trick

[soulwaxke]

did that
tried detonator 3.x drivers and the newest 4.x ones
same thing

What is your cpu usage when you try to playback in fullscreen? Post your system configuration.

[soulwaxke]

system;
athlon 1200
gf2mx400
512mb ram

but it's not that my system's too slow, it worked like a charm before

now i tried the osd feature in ffdshow to show load
seems it shows 100% cpu load when i put it on fs...

What did you change?

[soulwaxke]

nothing
i watched a divx this afternoon,
then i did some casual irc'ing etc
now i wanted to play another one, and i get this prob...

the only fishy thing that happened in the meantime was a spontaneous reboot... could that have damaged something or?...

Check that DMA remains enabled in your system and that none of your IDE cables have physically become loose or being interfered with each others.
