DVD playback Audio Works but No Video

<< < (2/3) > >>

Mitchco:
Still can't get DVD video to work. Removed and reinstalled MC 23.0.36. Audio comes through, but no video, just a black screen. I can play the video on the same computer using an old version of PoweDVD, so it seems to be something MC specific... Am I missing a key or some add on software? Any help appreciated.

RD James:
I think Media Center uses the Microsoft DVD Decoder while PowerDVD use their own, so the change in Windows version seems a likely culprit.
Aspect ratio affecting this could mean something too.
 
Have you tried switching video playback between Red October HQ and Standard?
Hardware acceleration on/off?

Mitchco:
Thank you!

I tried Red October HQ and it works! It is not a super smooth playback, but it does work. If I go back to Standard it does not work... Hardware acc seems to help smooth the playback on HQ, but still seems to freeze a frame every so often.

Any other settings to try and optimize the video playback smoothness?

Again, thank you!

JimH:
That's odd.  It's usually the other way around.  RO Std always works.

Mitchco:
I know, right?!? What's weirder is that Standard will play some DVD's, but only certain aspect ratios, not 16:9.
Only HQ will play 16:9...
