Reinstall your codecs or FFDShow (whichever you are using) as well as DirectX. Use BSPlayer or WMP 6.4 as the player.

the video runs well now in wmp 6.4 and bsplayer as well...
but there is a bit of frame loss in between..
could any1 suggest what are the best ffdshow settings???
i played a file in bsplayer with aspect ratio 16:4......wmp6.4 doesnt allow to change aspect ratio so there 2 huge black bands at the top and bottom...

but the brightness prob is solved all thanx to ffdshow.....
i m a bit scared to tinker with its settings .... i dont wanna ruin my current situation

so plz a little more help guys......

I personally only have the Post-processing and Codec parts of FFDShow enabled. The rest are left at the default Unticked.

prob solved!!!

i found another way of increasing brightness and contrast.......
i chose properties-->settings-->advanced settings-->colour management in desktop properties and tnt2 has options to increase the brightness and contrast of ur display.......

But icant update my drivers coz when i download using flashget (from nvidia.com) and install iget the foll error msg..

I downloaded the drivers twice but same error...

i know this isnt the right place to post such probs but i couldnt find any other forum and anyways most of the ppl here are digital experts so i figured they must know a soln to this prob....

[Enchanter]

Redownload the driver package.

[geekhead83]

problem solved!!!

the problem was that the driver if downloaded with a download manager got ccorrupted, so downloaded it with the windows download thing, and it worked,




thanx to all the guys for helping me out!!!
help really appreciated!!

[Enchanter]

So I was right.

[geekhead83]

yeah!!!

yeah u were right....



thanx to every1!!!

Yeah a 8MB card isn't quite enough to play DivX very well

i must disagree there,
i got a 4mb card and divx'es work very well..

Video cards with 8MB memory is generally close to being insufficient for general video playback, let alone one with half that amount of memory. Perhaps you have not yet tried running high-resolution videos on it OR those with colour space that the card does not support (older cards do not support anything other than RGB, if I remember right).

true

i experienced this one more time a couple of days ago at a friends pc.

he was using an old matrox mystique and playing a divx movie was rather like watching a slide show.

problems problems problems.....

the new driver of my riva tnt2 apparently didnt work too well... slowed down every game.... so i removed it and installed the previous set of drivers....so te games work fine..

but now divx movies dont..... so uninstalled ffdshow, etc etc whatever codecs i had and reinstalled them...but still they didnt work..

then i installed nimo codec pack, after which the movies work again but only on bsplayer, wmp9 and mplayer2.exe dont play them...and bsplayer too skips frames in between....

i have ffdshow, 3ivx and nimo codec pack..

plz help....

Perhaps you have not yet tried running high-resolution videos on

i run divx moviez with 7?? x 5?? or 6?? x 4?? or whatever else, etc. resolutions, fullscreen @ 1024x768 screen resolution no problem on my 4mb card.
