[ATI] tried to play my first mkv :-) but the whole picture is green !?! (1 Viewer)

Hi!

I've never played a mkv file before - only HDTV where everything is OK. But when i try to play a mkv file the screen is only green and blocky?

Using HD 3200 onboard + Cat 10.2

Anybody any idea?

Use graphstudio to ascertain which codec is in use, then update or reinstall it, or try a alternative ie xvid\divx\ffdshow, if that does not work then might look at being a driver problem.

Just did a search and it looks like this may be a ATI driver problem after all, try using a older one, check out SAF thread and see which one hoborg recommends in his first post.

seems really to be a driver issue - this time whole system gaves me a bluescreen with an error in atiXXX.sys :-(

only chance is to use a software based decoding like DivX :-(

....or MPC-HC/FFDShow H.264 filters in software decode mode (disable DXVA) - they both use the ffmpeg-mt decoder which is multi-threaded and pretty good on CPU load.

I tested HD3200 onboard two days ago on XP + SAF 5.0. No DXVA problems at all, but i tested on older 9.4 drivers.
