Topic: Video quality 2nd card seems lacking...

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Gang -

I installed a RADEON 9250 256mb card. Installed just the drivers only from the CD.

When I launch a video, it plays nicely but the quality looks bad - on a 17" TFT. I am using VOB originals. The video looks 'blocky'. Same video looks better using PowerDVD.

Using the 'Video Decoder' CODEC.

Any ideas?

Also, how can I enforce the screen ratio? The prev looks correct but on the monitor, looks a tad stretched.

Thanks gang!

I just noticed this is on the 'poo poo' list of VGA cards.

What will I not be able to do w/ it? I just want to play a music video and/or slide show type montage - perhaps even a full movie.

3d effects are not in my immediate future.

Now, with that said, why would there be a quality difference between PowerDVD and VDJ output from that card using same source?

It just sux that I paid $75 for it.

Augggggggggggg.
 
I just installed the latest catalyst drivers. Improved things somewhat. I'll just 'deal' w/ this card for the time being.

Thanks!
