windows media player 11 bad ghosting ?

GothicGhost · 31 Jul 2008 at 18:48

Hay i just notice a lot ghosting going on when watching pitch black

So i test a few more dvds and the same thing.

Not sure if cose my x1950 gt using dvi cable maybe ?

cause never happend on my 7800 using vga as far as i know.

Think could be cable or maybe a setting in windows media player ?

Monitor a sync master 940Bw 19"

And i not seen ghosting in games yet but i try some in a bit to make sure.

Thanks for any help.

Could be a refresh rate issue. Have you set the maximum the monitor can handle at your res?

it was on 60 but i thought that was the proper for 1400/900 res

It shows it can do 75 so i test it on that now

(nope still ghosting )

I'd suspect it's codecs.

I'd uninstall the ones you have and download a trial of WinDVD or PowerDVD and check if that works any better.

Have you tried using a VGA instead? Vista Codec pack serves me well btw.

X1950 here as well and the same problem but the way I found to get rid of it was to disable hardware acceleration in the video options of you playback software of choice. Don't know if Media Player has this option though or not as I mainly use VLC (which has no ghosting problems).
