Windows XP video problem.

Mr.Crowbar · 03-11-2005, 08:55 AM

I am having a small problem with my video with filetypes like .avi and .mpeg. Everytime I play a video doesn't matter what size or video and it doesn't matter what codec or player (Winamp, Windows Media Player it only shows the bottom right side of the video and clips everything else. Very furstrating indeed!

First I thought it could have been DirectX (Altho I don't have very much understanding for it other than knowing it is an API built into Windows.) But Quicktime files play perfectly fine and it uses DirectDraw (Or atleast I think it does, correct me if I am wrong. Also if you want to know I am useing DirectX 9.0c)
