No video playback

Hi All -

I am having the exact same problem. I have a PC running XP , two monitors both from one ATI Radeon 9600 card. Works in N4 but have never been able to get picture in N5 or N5.5. I have downloaded the latest drivers and even run the open GL test - where one monitor tested to 2.1 (I was not able to test the other monitor). I tried unplugging the “other” monitor and starting up that way but still no picture. I have set the picture to “original size” and I have tried a variety of .Mov files at different compressions I do get the frames just not the moving picture. Any thoughts – help would be greatly appreciated as I have a mix to pix looming!
Thanks,
Alan

On which monitor to you need the video? Have you tried on both?
You need to close/open the video window after you have moved it from one monitor to the other.

WinXP didn’t support OpenGL on both screens. Some drivers worked around this in a quirky way. But it doesn’t work with N5 for video which demands OpenGL.

Try it and see. But the 9600 is awfully old, and may not work. I remember it as lousy with OpenGL.
Try with another card if you can also.

And finally, move away from WinXP. With N6 you want be able to install in WinXP.

Best,
Pål
