RE: Radeon 9550 video playback problems

I have successfully installed my new 450W power supply and transferred the
motherboard with all peripherals. The heat coming out of the vents is much
less :-)

The video playback problems within Windows Media Player 10 have disappeared.
Sigh of relief :)

However the AverTV DVB-T USB 2.0 continues to display artifacts when DxVA
support is enabled.

I am at a loss as what else to do unless I replace the motherboard?

Or could it be that the USB 2.0 port is struggling to power the DVB-T?

Any thoughts would be most grateful.

Thanks Nige,

Here is a little food for thought on codecs in WMP10..

You didn't mention the XP version running on the Compaq d530 SFF, noticed a
set video refresh rate utility for XP, are you up to date..?

Yeah, ATI built by is always the better choice (my opinion) than the powered
by versions.. You might check with GeCube for a decoder..? Might find a
freebie on the web too.. This is the ATI decoder that installs from download
/ vendor, CyberLink Video/SP Decoder (ATI) /file name, CLVSD.ax /version,
6.0.0.1311<<and would show (green check mark) in the checkup utility as
preferred and MCE compatible..
Hope this can help..

Many thanks for your response Carmon.

I downloaded the DVD video decoder utility mentioned below. All of the
installed DVD video decoders were incompatible with MP10 except one called
Intervideo WinDVD. I do have the Intervideo DVD plugin installed.

What is weird is that the MPEG-2 DVD movie will play within Intervideo
(version 5 with DxVA capabilities) just fine but play the same movie through
MP10 with the Intervideo plugin active and Windows Media Acceleration Active
within ATI Catalyst 6.1 and the movie looks like something from a 60's disco.

As to the ATI DVD Decoder - I have ordered the Multimedia Center CD as the
driver disc that came with my graphics card could not be validated - this is
because the graphics card is powered by ATI and not built by ATI I can only
assume. Multimedia Center was not shipped with my graphics card either.

I am hoping that this will resolve the difficulties I am experiencing.

The links to the Windows patches - I have these installed with no effect.

As to the power supply - I believe it is sufficient since the wattage quoted
by the calculator assumes that all the components will be using their full
wattage capacity.

I will keep you apprised of the situation since I suspect others will be
having similar problems.


Kind regards

Nige :)

You can download one free from ATI , if you have your original ATI setup CD..

If the above ATI link does not work, you will need to manually navigate to
this section; Catalyst 6.1 Windows XP Media Center Edition - Driver Download
You may have already seen these links, if so, disregard..

Hi,

I am having problems utilising Windows Media Video Acceleration in ATI
Catalyst 6.1, enabling High Quality Mode in Windows Media Player 10 and the
enabling of DxVA.

The problem is when I playback DVD video in Windows Media Player 10 after a
few minutes the video playback area becomes filled with green blocks, brown
and grey lines and other artifacts.

A similar problem occurs in AverTV 6.0 when I enable DxVA support whilst
watching in TV mode. If DxVA support is disabled the problem resolves itself
but rather interestingly when I use the record facility and then playback the
MPEG-2 video the video playback area suffers as previously mentioned.

My computer configuration is as follows :

Compaq d530 SFF with 185 Watt Power Supply
Creative Labs Soundblaster Audigy SE
ATI Radeon 9550 128 MB Low Profile AGP Card (manufactured by GeCube)
512MB of RAM
Seagate Harddrive 60 GB
Maxtor Harddrive 300 GB
NEC DVD-ROM, DVD-RW, CD, CD-RW

I have been to the Microsoft website and applied a couple of hot fixes
related to utilising DxVA witin Windows Media Player 10.

I have also installed the latest version of Direct X v 9.0c .

Your help would be most grateful.

Cheers.
