[QUOTE="aaronjb, post: 52169, member: 20473"] I have the same problem too - hugely annoying isn't it.. Anyway, for sake of completeness: [b]Area[/b]: Media Portal Program [b]MediaPortal Version[/b]: 0.2.0.0 RC3 (2006-03-18) [b]MediaPortal Skin[/b]: Razor [b]Windows Version[/b]: Windows XP (SP2) [b].NET CLR Version[/b]: 2.0.50727 [b]DirectX Version[/b]: 4.09.00.0904 (9.0c) [b]Audio Codec[/b]: MPEG/AC3/DTS/LPCM Audio Decoder [b]Video Codec[/b]: Mpeg2Dec Filter [b]CPU Type[/b]: AMD Athlon XP 2500+ [b]Memory[/b]: 1 GB [b]Motherboard[/b]: FX43 (SHUTTLE INC) [b]Video Card Model[/b]: Nvidia Geforce FX 5200 (64 MB) [b]Video Card Driver[/b]: 84.21 Nvidia reference [b]Video Card Resolution[/b]: 1024x768 [b]Video Render Type[/b]: VMR9 [b]Audio Card Model[/b]: Realtek AC'97 Audio for VIA (R) Audio Controller I've tried all the video codecs and they all behaved the same - but VLC can play the same video files just fine, fullscreen, with no tearing.. Sadly I've now toggled some option that causes MP to crash when I try to play a video file - so I'm about to try a clean install, plus temporarily throw the video card from my main machine (a much newer AGP Nvidia, rather than the PCI effort above) in to the HTPC and see how that performs. Update later.. [edit] Incidentally, I'm sure RC2 used to work fine - RC3 seems to have been when VMR7 support was removed, perhaps the video code got a rework that's introduced this oddness? [edit again] Well that's quite odd indeed.. I shut down to try the other video card (only to discover that it won't fit into the HTPC case as it's a double-thickness card, d'oh!), restarted and installed a fresh copy of RC4, ffdshow, VobSub, vsfilter, Haali's Media Splitter.. and now it plays perfectly in MP! Weird - the only thing I can think is that reinstalling the video drivers unhooked the VNC video driver hooks from the system (at least, that's what VNC reports -- and it's now very sluggish), which sorted the DX9 playback out... I could have sworn I'd rebooted after installing those drivers - but perhaps I hadn't actually tried playback yet :? [/QUOTE]
