DVD Video Hangs (Continued ...)
May 25, 2006
[The video of Carsten's DVD as it played on his computer was hanging while the sound played on. Ask About Computers suggested that the problem lie in the AV codec.]
Hi again
...
I have only one codec pack installed....it has never made problems before, so i tend to use that as the only one. ...
I have tried to download the latest directX drivers and installed it...i will check if the problem is solved tomorrow.

Well it didnīt help to update the directX drivers...still the same...
i will now try to completely remove my codecs.

I still havenīt been able to solve the video problem.
Could it be, my videocard has a defect??

Hi,
You can try swapping out your graphics adapter, but I still think it's a av codec issue. It is very similar to a problem that I once had. ...
There is no uninstall option with some filters, & you know as well as I do, that once you install something, you can have problems getting it off your system, even after doing an uninstall.
I would would try some of the suggestions on the Doom9 forum, at this thread. These range from a suggestions on what you can try to force an uninstall, to what codecs they recommend, to using different media players to force a certain type of decoding. Not sure this last will work, because all media players that I've ever used seem to use whatever filter is on the system. But then those guys know more about this stuff than I do, so it may be worth a try. I'm sorry, but I think this is a filter issue. As a last resort, you may have to rebuild your system again.
Best regards
