Answer»

I have media player clasic Home
And it plays every video file ok but my DVDs it plays Upside Down.

One the internet I see about ho to fix it
go to View Options then Keys.

Look for PnS and then the key command for Y for flip right side up.

So I do and it says PnS Rotate Y+ ALT

So I think this meens hold Y down and hit the AKT key it did not do it.
nymph4,
You have been here long enough to know you need to tell use what OS and what PC you have.
And few here would ever use media player classic Home.

Does you keyboard have two alt keys? Is the caps Lock on?I have win xp pro
And I was going to use Real Player FREE to play DVDs but I need it to let me go Frame By Frame.
And I have FIREWIRE comeing into my computer as well and I need it to be able to open it and let me watch the video signale coming in.

I did this with VLC but it can't go Frame by Frame.

And I found on the web Rotate Y I have to ALT + number 4 or 6 on keypad.
Well they don't flip my video right side up.

Can you HELP and why would you not use Media Player Clasic?
And can real player play DVDsThat's too hard for me. I never watch movies frame by frame with the raster rotated 90 degrees. But if you are lying down, that is how you would want it, - Right?
It sounds like you are doing something more that just watching a movie. You may want to talk to people that are into deep things.

Somewhere in that bunch you will find somebody that knows what you are talking about.Quote from: Geek-9pm on June 05, 2011, 08:16:12 PM

Why do you say that?Quote from: BC_Programmer on June 06, 2011, 06:38:34 AM
Why do you say that?
Why some never use Media Player Classic Home
For these reasons:
1. They don't know about it. Not an advertised l product.
2. It is a GPL . Some shy away from anything like that.
3. For awhile it was poorly maintained . But that has changed.
4. It is very compact, not a lot of bells and sequins.
5. They stick with what they have and never try anything else.

Furthermore, it has both 32 bit and 64 bit version, which is just to hard to understand how a free product could possibility do that.Quote from: Geek-9pm on June 06, 2011, 08:21:25 AM
1. They don't know about it. Not an advertised l product.
There aren't advertisements for things like Linux Mint, FreeBSD, or Fedora, but plenty of people know about and use them.

2. It is a GPL . Some shy away from anything like that.
People who shy away from GPL'd software when they only intend to use that software are paranoid. avoiding it when you are deciding how to license your own software or when you want to fork an existing project is sensible.

3. For awhile it was poorly maintained . But that has changed.

Looks to me like it has been well maintained since 2006. Second, that equally applies to a product like Internet EXPLORER, which still got plenty of users.

4. It is very compact, not a lot of bells and sequins.
Explain to me how this is a bad thing and why people would avoid it based on that premise?

5. They stick with what they have and never try anything else.
Except your original quote was "few here would ever use Media Player Classic home" and by saying that you imply that it is in fact those of us who primarily assist that avoid it. Nearly anybody who frequents a computer help forum is going to be either curious or concerned enough to try different software then what they use; while there are, for example, some users who choose to use IE as their primary browser, they have tried other browsers. No doubt this is the same as the case for something like Windows media Player.

what?

It's really quite simple. See, when they build the 64-bit version, they use gcc's -march option to compile for one of the available machine types that the compiler uses 64-bit extensions and instructions for. It's really quite simple to understand, really. Most Linux distributions- which are also free products, do this as well.


As for the original Post:

What DVD video codec are you using? Have you installed any "codec packs"?

http://forum.videohelp.com/threads/97272-My-video-is-upside-down

That said, a quick fix would be to probably use the right key combinations for what you want to do; you want to rotate the Y Axis, and the default key mapping for that is Alt+Numpad 4 and Alt+Numpad 6.

No all my DVDs play Upside Down

I want to watch them Rightside UP.

SorryQuote from: nymph4 on June 06, 2011, 10:23:57 AM

Yes. I know that.I just tryed Realplayer and it wont play my VOB files.

It says it is going to Realplay website to get a program so it can play it.

And it spins and spins and spins but never gets it.

I would get VLC again but they say they will never soppurt Frame by Frame.
They just go frame by frame ahead.

Do you know of any free good players for DVDs that I wont need more codecs just install and go??
And that SUPPORTS frame by frame?VLC can do step by frame very well. I did not know it was there.
Also, thee is a way to capture frames one-by-one

OK I know it can do this but it can't go back frame by frame can it?

And 2.
I can put my mouse on the timeline in zoom player and use the whele to go forword and back frame by frame.
But it goes 5 sec at a time.
How can I ajust it?The next BUTTON sets a loop. So it will walk through a number of frames and chart over. Isn't that good enough?
