MP Crash while switching to HD Channel (1 Viewer)

[lotti99]

Hi,

i've updated my system. Yesterday i changed the motherboard an replaced teh dvd-drive with a blueray/hd-dvd drive.
After first installing i tested the HD-Channels (arte hd, astra hd, anixe hd) and video/audio works fine.
I couldn't play blue ray with the installed power dvd, so i deinstalled it and installed the bypacked Version.
Since then i can play the blue rays with power dvd, but every time i switch to a hd-channel, MP Crashes.
I deinstalled and reinstalled Power DVD again without any changes.

The First Video Frame is seen, and audio is played back (repeating the ~first second) until i cinfirm teh MP-Crash Screen. Maybe someone can help?

Thanks ,

Klaus

In system event log I see this line

23.01.2009 19:06:53;"ati2mtag";"DVD_OV";"Information";"UVD Information";"1073804288"

which is what pre-cursored my crashes from BBC HD. I can only watch this channel now by disabling DVB Subtitles. Try this and see if it fixes your problem. Do the channels you are switching to carry DVB subtitles?

Thanks for the Tip, but Subtitles were not enabled.
I tried the preview from tv-server - it worked, but only on my second display (via vga). Seems to be an issue with the display driver.

you are ATI3200 (780g) like me? I had a lot of instability with HD channels h/w accell on cyberlink codecs.

ATI catalyst 8.12 fixed it for me

Always a good tip and I agree that 8.12 fix alot of dxva issues in my ATI 3870. Make sure you do a proper driver upgrade...

• Use ATI Uninstall Utility
• Reboot to Safe Mode
• Use Driver Cleaner/Driver Sweeper to remove traces of old drivers
• Reboot to normal mode and install new drivers

Thanks for the tip. i did a clean ati driver installation and only a few hours later all worked fine.
Sometimes HD-Channels were not displayed korrekt (a green picture, sound O.K.), after switching to a sd-channel and switching back its fine - but thats not so important....
