Hello.

When i use media portal to play dvd movies, the screen just goes black at the main menu of the movie, its pretty wierd, i was thinking about trying to re-install VLC player, as i think that might be the default player / maybe the problem, have any of you guys tryed something like this before?? its pretty anoying when i want to watch a movie, takes like 10 min's to get it to stop with the back screen.

I just looked, i use the build in DVD player, and btw sound works fine when the screen goes black, i have also looked in some of the other threads and i can't seem to find anything excep someone says that it is a problem with Media Portal??

Please help me.

Have you guys tried updating DirectX. Black or green screens over playback is often DirectX... Update to 10

Hello.

Thank you for your answer, but isent DX10 only for Vista?
I run XP.

Oops... sorry bout that... still update as high as you can go...

Also you should totally update to vista... the pros outweigh the cons in my opinion...

in my opinion

Also you should totally update to vista... the pros outweigh the cons in my opinion... ????? im sorry but i do not agree with that.

mickzilla try to use k-lyte codec pack or you can use vlc to play them like i do since it plays most types of media like iso. just go into movie player options and choose use external player and set vlc as external player. im new to portal but i can tell you one thing, "im lovin it"... good luck.

Im am gonna have to disagree with vista to, i have tryed it, and it sucks

And thank you opensources, i will try that and give a report back.

Vista sucks... until you shut down a whole lot of "security utilities" or whatever one should call them, Then Vista rules!

I have installed some divx code's and some plugins to MP and it seems to work now.

Thank you.
