Image problem when playing Ripped Videos

[jwhalley]

Hi All,

Wondered if you could help me. I've recently bought a Radeon 3870x2 and the OCuK 24" monitor.

I've noticed that when playing back some of my ripped simpsons dvd's i'm getting an odd thing with the picture.

Imagine the light blue area is the picture. When the show plays there is a verticle and horizontal black line on the left and top side of the image close to the edges.

When I uninstall the graphics driver and play the video it works fine, but when I install the 8.2 or 8.3 driver I get the described effect.

Any ideas whats causing this?

Thanks a lot

I'm getting it in both VLC and WMP.

I'm fairly certain when i first installed everything i didnt get it (might try a clean install). Have you played around with multiple monitor options, as first noticed it after testing a few things out with these settings (but may be a coincidence.)

Any help much appreciated

Tempac,

Thanks for the reply, but isnt nview desktop manager an NVidia program, and we are using ATI cards.

I have tried reformatting computer and starting from scratch, but still getting this problem.

Anyone know what is causing it, and/or how to fix it?

Cheers

Thanks for that,

Whilst unticking that box removes the black lines, it appears to cause tearing of the video so for me it doesnt seem the ideal solution.

Any other thoughts?
