Problems playing video files on extended desktop

[Chad Slater]

I have been playing .VOB, MP4, AVI, MKV, WMV, MOV etc and Karaoke songs (MP3+G). I would normally do about 5-10 Karaoke and then play a video depending on how many ppl where up to sing. All of this done within the Hoster program. As far as my Graphics card I have a NVIDIA GeForce GT 230M.

The problem came about when I had to reinstall windows on my computer and everything else. After that problems began. Hope that helps

you might wanna try going on line and download a driver scan, it might help you find what's going on with your graphic card..

Chad,

I believe the Video Issues are with a software conflict rather than the video card itself (unless there is some remote possiability that the Bios on the video card was flashed by the virus).

Speaking of Bios, have you updated you computers Bios since the Virus?

Were any Bios settings changed since OS reinstall?

Try installing this codec : Combined Community Codec Pack.... Credit goes to the author. I have no problem playing all my video files and you can tweak filters.

What video card are you using?

[bendrew]

I happened to find out about this codec because of the same problem you have. I have 5000+ vcd songs and i had problem with an nvidia video card. And also most of my friends has the hoster and lite and they have the same problems as you are. My suggestion is to do install it and if it didn't work for you, i'll recommend other solutions. But i believe it will solve your problem. Klite codec didn't solve our problem that's why we look for another one and this one solve it.

And remember, you cannot just copy .dat files of a vcd. You have to convert it or else, it will work but you gonna have problems.

What kind of problems?

The few that I have work just fine after using Windows Explorer to copy them.

What is the disk manufacturer that contains the .DAT files?

Thanks!
