DVD Video Hangs (Part 3)

June 2, 2006

[The video of DVD movies on Carsten's computer freezes, while the sound plays on. He has tried updating the DirectX software and installing a different AV codec.]

Hi again

Just a little update for ya.

LCD BENQ DLP Projector

The way I watch the movie files is like this.

I have my 19" TFT monitor connected to one vga-out and my BenQ DLP projector connected to vga 2. And when I play video it hangs.

Last night I tried to connect the BenQ DLP to vga 1 and my 19" TFT to the BenQ. It has some sort of pass-through connection. And nothing connected to vga 2

I watched a whole movie without problems.
I will try again tonight....both ways and see if there is a difference between the 2.

I just dont understand why it would be a problem to play video when I use vga 1+2 instead of only vga 1.

Does this make sense???

Regards Carsten Haag

Hi,

It doesn't make sense to me for the video to hang using two vga connectors and not hang when using just one, but then your setup is a bit different from most people's. ...

...

Were you able to uninstall [your AV codec] and try one of the codec packs recommended by one of the Doom9 responders to your thread, the Combined Community Codec Pack (CCCP) perhaps?

Best regards
