A working video player?!

Ease · 25 Apr 2009 at 21:18

I now have three programs for watching videos on my computer; all of which are flawed.

Windows Media Player 11 : Diagonal Lines scroll from bottom right to top left.

WinAmp : stutters very slightly.

VLC : poorer quality than it should be.

The file I'm testing with right now is a .avi if that helps. Below is a picture of the diagonal lines...

<edit>Forgot to add a question =P My question is, how can I fix any/all/one of these problems? Or what do you use for watching files?

The diagonal lines look more like interference on the original source recording than an issue with the video player to me. Does WMP exhibit this behaviour on other files (of this type from different sources) as well?

Yup, anything and everything. Even super high quality to the lowest quality.

Try Windows Media PLayer Classic, that's what is always use.

It does sound like a source or moniter issue though. And you would probably notice if it was the monitor.

Hey all, still got this problem, even in Windows Media Player Classic. Any suggestions?

are you using the most recent VLC? becuase im using that, and the quality is suppurb. always has been. Might be because you havent got the settings right on it.

get newest gfx card drivers

uninstall any codec packs, and use the ones from shark007.net and use mpc

I use KMPlayer, I used to use VLC but for some reason it crashed a lot/quality when dodgey so I changed to this, works great.

My VLC quality is bad also. Must be something to do with Win 7 and graphics drivers / codecs I suppose.
