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
 
yup i get this when i am playing xvids in vlc player in my new machine. if i play them in windows media player its fine....

i am using an ocuk 3870xt with the 8.3 cats... its annoying but i just put up with it. if anyone has a solution...
 
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
 
i am only seeing them when i blow vlc up fullscreen. i dont think i ahve touched any cats optiosn, just installed them after windows had finished installing. hopefully someone might be able to help us
 
It's apparantly due to some 'desktop overlay', After I purchased my new system I had the same problem, the only way I could get rid of it was to activate the 'nview desktop manager'. I've no idea what it does, but it made things better as I could view videos etc with their correct colours. If you've got such a setting with your chosen graphics cards, you may wish to tweak them.

If you've got lines accross the screen, then that would sugest that you're not using the correct refresh rate for you chosen monitor would it not? It certainly was when I was tweaking my lcd tv anyway.

HTH
 
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
 
hey jw, well i fixed it. all i did was go into vlc player and go into preferences and video options and i unticked the button that said "overlay video output." those borders are now gone now.

hth and sorry that u did a wasted format and install.
 
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?
 
damn u are right, fix on thing and another thing occurs, lets look deeper into vlc options and cat driver options shall we :P
 
the back lines on the top and left are only happening when i am using rips that are using the xvid codec. when i watch rips that are made with the x264 codec everything is fine. damn its annoying.
 
This using FFmpeg?
I only use FFmpeg now for everything, I never bother installing divx or xvid.
