Topic: Player B video adds serious video artifacts

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

I'm getting flashes of green tinted or red tinted screens with vertical lines. They seem too happen between scene transitions in a video.

The play perfect in Player A.

I'm using a 2.8GHz p4 800mhz fsb with 1g ddr400 ram.

Videos are ripped to vob.

Video card is a ATI 9250 256mb card.

Direct X is up to date.

I'm outputing to a tv via my s cable. I'm seeing these artifacts on the output tv as well as on my main vdj screen.

Thanks in advance,

Greg Hodges

Correction. I'm seeing this whenever I have a video playing and then load a second 1 in the other player. The second video has these digital artifacts.

So you could be using the B player and load to A, and get this effect? Did this work before and just start?

Same thing happens. I think it's whenever 2 video streams are loaded and ready to play that I get that problem. I have resolved it by switching video cards.

I switched from an ATI 9250 256mb to an NVIDIA 5200 128 mb and the problem completely went away. So I'm guessing there was either a conflict or the 9250 couldn't keep up. I'm looking for a new video card. Do you have a recommendation? I've seen the NVIDIA6800GT mentioned a few times. Is this the way to go? It lists at over $300 and I've seen models as high as $600.
