Color Trouble w/ Video Playback w 2.6 Driver

June 21st, 2005, 05:11 AM

HI

Just noticed that when I play back WMV files (tried watching BF2 trailer) the colors are all bright yellow, orange and green........Strange.

Any help wold be great.

PS:Sorry for the post outside of the 2.6 thread.....didnt notice till I backed out...

Thanks.

Have tried various adjustments.....but all WMV's are displayed as bright pastel colors........like an animated Easter Egg.

Find this registry key:"DXVA_WMV" and set it to 0. because the settings are being stored in few locations inside the registry you have to use F3 (Search again) and make sure all them is setted to "0".

I will release an update soon.

Hi! the WMV is now working for you?

correct me if im wrong but setting it to zero will disable WMA Videa Acceleration.
not like the 96 97 98 or x800 series actually has DXVA.

a quick check of your cpu usage will show it.

or is that only for High Def videos ?

also any test results rolling it yet comparing performance from ATI to NGO

modified drivers are not something im much of a fan of although the 2.5's were pretty nice. gave me troubles in some games but overall,, not really any improvements for me. some but nothing that caused me to want to stay with them.

but with a 9800 XT i think ATI is already squeezing just about as much out of them as they can.

Thought that Z buffer optimizations are for all.

another workaround:

-> open the Video controll panel
-> move to color correction
-> set "Apply Color changes to:" -> All
-> set "Color Profile:" -> Advanced Mode

movies are looking normal now

Yes but it does but it seems to cause a few issues in the latest catalyst.
