Can Updated Video Drivers cause inverted video in media players?

Kilee · 07-06-2005, 03:51 PM

I'm having a little trouble trying to watch video, it happened recently. I dont know if its due to downloading the internation update for ge force drivers, or something else is wrong with settings. Any suggestions?

Just to make sure it is/isn't the drivers, you might want to download the latest drivers from the official Nvidia website.

i just uinstalled and installed the display drivers once again...its not them. I think the problems might of happened after I viewed an incomplete video file from a p2p program I was using.

But I will say this, when a video plays in Stepmania (since some stages show video), there is no such problem...so I think its secluded to actual media players.

Sounds like a codec problem (??? maybe?). Try downloading new codecs or downloading the latest version of Realplayer/WMP/Divx, or whatever you use (they come with codecs).

If you downloaded the international drivers, it could cause your card to output as PAL instead of NTSC or vice versa

do you have any codec packs installed? is there an extra icon in your task bar when your play a film?possibly a green arrow one?

I had this problem recently and all you need to do is adjust the 'Video Overlay Settings' in the driver settings

Hope that helps
