DVD Video Hangs (The Saga Continues ... Part 4)

June 2, 2006

[The video of Carsten's DVD on his computer hangs, while the sound plays on. Ask About Computers suspects the AV codec as the culprit. However, the graphics card cannot be ruled out.]

Hi

GeForce 6600 GT

I use a GeForce 6600 GT with 2 connectors.

Yes I tried uninstalling the [codec] and installed CCCP instead.

I´m not sure if it did get uninstalled correctly though, cause I was able to play all my videofiles after the uninstall and before I installed CCCP. [Editor's note: This is a sure sign that the original codec had not been completely removed.]

The drivers I use is the latest released drivers from nVidia...no beta for me :)

Hi,

Cool graphics card :)

I fear that your system did not uninstall the codec pack, if you were able to playback video after the "uninstall".

I would either reformat and start over, or join the Doom9 forum and see if someone there can offer assistance in uninstalling that stubborn codec pack. If you're using the latest driver from NVIDIA, the graphics drivers shouldn't be the problem.

All the best
