Windows 7 x64 Enhanced Video Renderer Issues

(1/2) > >>

Hi there

I am having issues with video playback under theatre view. Apparently randomly i get the following message when playing video

'enhanced video renderer cannot be loaded on your system, video mixer renderer 9 is used instead' - ok to accept

A further MC13 error follows -

'Error starting direct3d engine (error creating direct3d device(0x8876086A))

It is not specific to certain files as same files play without this error on other occasions.

I have a fresh install of 7 (7077) and sharks windows 7 codec pack (latest version) installed

Any ideas?

Thanks

Matt:
Try updating your video driver.

I'm using Windows 7 x64 at home, and haven't had any EVR or 3D issues.  I'm using the beta Windows 7 drivers from nVidia.

Hi there

Using the latest Nvidia drivers 185.81

Issue was present with stock windows 7 drivers also - any other ideas?

Cheers

Matt:
I don't really have any other ideas. 

If we fail to create a Direct3D device, it means the hardware isn't working or is out of resources.  Are you on a video card with not a lot of video memory, or do you have other big 3D things running (other than Windows :P) that could be eating card resources?

I have an 8600 512mb and my htpc is running the os and MC13 only  ?

***edit - I have also noticed when playing the next video in the playlist MC13 often stalls at the start of the video with the 'opening' message. These are regular mpeg's on a local drive and i have not had this issue before. Can only say for sure that this has been present in the last 2 builds on 7 x64 as i was running vista x64 with previous builds.

I am certain it is unrelated to the issue but out of interest what video codec pack do you recommend? I have always used shark's pack but perhaps you could suggest an alternative
