Extended Disply Problem

[stublack]

Well I believe I conquered the conversion from CD+G problem. I\'ve got the songs that were originally video(MP4) to add the watermark to not be perfect but acceptable. But adding the watermark to those I converted to videos not so much. So it might be I need to try a different watermark software. I am giving up today but back at it tomorrow.

Well Used the watermark program and run some tests.
Now bear in mind I packed up doing karaoke some years back so had not played any video karaoke tracks in Hoster for a long time but did notice that when I played any karaoke videos, even ones without the water mark they played Ok until I sent them to the extended monitor.
When I sent them to the extended monitor there was a blank screen for a few seconds so did not show the intro screen, then the actual video started suddenly.
I have now updated the K-Lite codec pac, in my case the Mega 1890 version. made sure I ticked the box that appears during installation for mp4. and now all is well and playing both mp4 with and without the water mark on the extended monitor.

Whether this will help you or not I dont know but worth a try.

I sure will try it. I\'m not sure how to update that kodec you are talking about.

[Roy Dennis]

Just go to this page: https://www.codecguide.com/download_..._pack_mega.htm.

Install this version: Version 18.9.0 Mega ~ 63.4 MB ~ April 19th 2025

Download from 1 of the 3 servers, dont click on any of the other download links for other things.

Thank you so much Roy, you are a life saver. I installed the k lite coded you suggested and not only fixed the watermark issue it also fixed the mp3+g to video conversion issue as well. I thought it might be the graphic driver. I\'ve only installed the codec on one laptop and it works beautifully but I am sure this is the ticket THANKS!!!!

[Roy Dennis]

Glad to know it worked. Must have been a fault created with a Windows update.

Thank you so much Roy. You are a lifesaver the k lite codec download fixed both my issues THANKS!!!

Hi Roy I have tried several times to reply to this thread to thank you. The K Lite Codec fixed the problem for those files that were converted from MP3+G to Video and the watermark. It is awesome, you are a lifesaver. Hopefully this reply goes through this is my third try.

[Roy Dennis]

Third time lucky.
Thank you too for your appreciation and for letting us know that was the solution. Always happy to be of help.

Well **** I have a new problem. After updating the k lite codec the karaoke video is playing beautifully on my extended monitors in my office. But last night when I got to the venue on their big screen TV half of the screen is completely blocked out when playing the video. I have the same problem on my living room TV. Man I hope there is an easy fix for this. The 2 monitors in my office are both Vizio. I have a Sony in my living room and I have no idea what brand the TV\'s are at the venue.
