DVD Video Hangs
May 24, 2006
I have this problem.
When I watch a dvd movie on my PC it "hangs" after about 30 mins or so....the sound goes on like nothing happened but the video hangs...like a very very small loop (millisecs).
I just reinstalled my pc completely.

Hi Carsten,
It sounds like your AV [Audio/Video] codec is not playing nicely with the DVD player software on your computer.
If this is the problem, you may need to uninstall the AV codec, then install a different codec. ...
Best regards,

[Editor's notes -- Codecs can be very difficult to uninstall, of which Carsten's problem is a good example. Stay tuned for more details.]
[The editor has had good luck with codecs, decoders, and filters listed on Doom9. Go to "Download", then "Codecs", "Decoders", or "Filters".]
[I have had bad luck googling for codecs from the Web. In fact, one of my computers still experiences problems from time to time that go back to a "bad" codec that I had pulled off the Web.]
