Answer» Hi, I apologize in advance if this is not a hardware issue, just can't seem to figure out. What player?It doesn't seem to matter which player, I usually use Win. Media Player 9, but downloaded a few new players to eliminate that possibility. WMP has always worked in the past on this computer as well.perhaps its the video quality itself???Quote I've tried the same movies in other computers, and they're fine. What other player did you TRY, beside WMP?Quote from: iamyourmom on March 15, 2009, 08:39:08 PM perhaps its the video quality itself???It's not the video quality, they used to work on this computer, and I have viewed the media on other computers.Quote from: bluesteel on March 15, 2009, 09:24:38 PM It's not the video quality, they used to work on this computer, and I have viewed the media on other computers.I have tried Real Player, something called GOM Player, and other ones that I downloaded just for trial and error purposes, and have since deleted. It is definitely not player dependent. I used WMP on this same computer to watch the same videos. It's very frustrating.Check VLC Player: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ It may be some codec issue.Quote from: Broni on March 15, 2009, 09:30:29 PM Check VLC Player: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/Thanks for the suggestion, however as I suspected, it most definitely is not a video player issue at all. I did install the VLC player as you suggested, and it still didn't work. So, I have tried at least 5 video players, all with the same result. Remember that these same videos played on the same computer using the WMP that I've always used, so it's not a codec issue either. I am completely out of ideas.Have you tried a different monitor?Quote from: JJ 3000 on March 16, 2009, 01:09:51 AM Have you tried a different monitor?Hi, was pretty sure monitor wasn't the issue because it has always played these same videos. But, I went ahead and checked it anyway. It didn't work there either, I knew it was definitely a computer issue, not player, etc. Even so, I always will check everyone's solution just in CASE I might have missed something or, as in this case, gets me thinking ALONG a new line. I resolved the problem. Just for the *censored* of it, I went to Nvidias website and downloaded the APPLICABLE drivers again. Once I rebooted with the new drivers, I was golden. The strange thing is that nothing was ever changed with the videos, or the video card. One more cool thing, for many months I had a "burned" spot on a portion of my LCD. I thought my monitor was going, or a static image had been left on for too long. I was really bummed because it was a 26" Dell wide screen. The newly installed drivers took care of that issue as well. I guess it was a driver associated anomaly. ThanksBeautiful |
