| 91783 | 2002-10-22 12:12:00 | Hey all, I have just been given a new computer for work here in Japan and it has a habit of always playing back Video at close to twice the speed. I have used different programs like, Divx, Realplayer, Windows media, and others etc.. Still Problems.. The machine Runs a AMD XP1800 chip with 256mb ram, 64mb Nvidia graphics card. Any help on this matter would be appreciated. I have tried reloading the operating system but that didn't help. Thanks.... |

| 91784 | 2002-10-22 16:43:00 | This may not help, but I am thinking it is a codec problem. How you tell what codec you need to download, I cannot say. Can you tell what codec was used to create the video? robo. |

| 91786 | 2002-10-23 23:31:00 | Hi someone else mentioned that it may be a codec problem, however i dont actually understand what codecs are.... What i am trying to view are movies off the internet and things like that. Some of these have ben loaned to me by others who dont have any problem playing them. Can you update codecs?? Thanks for the reply |

| 91787 | 2002-10-23 23:36:00 | The OS is win98se. No I havent done an update yet as I will be changing OS to XP pro in a few weeks. Win 98 was put on it just to get it up and running. As for the driver, it is the one that came with the video card. The file says that the drivers are working ok and that they are the Nvidia drivers. The sound appears to be just skipping to each part as it goes along. thanks for your reply. |

| 91788 | 2002-10-23 23:46:00 | well i would get the latest driver for your video card and also motherboard. could be a codec problem. but i doubt that if the same thing happens to avi, rm and mov files. |

| 91789 | 2002-10-23 23:59:00 | true, probably not codecs. Don't ask what they are. Just know you have to keep downloading new ones and they are a pain. robo. |

| 91790 | 2002-10-24 00:12:00 | I your video card has a hardware codec it could be that. Get the latest video driver for you card. |

| 91792 | 2002-10-25 12:35:00 | OK I have installed the latest drivers for the video card and also updated all microsoft programs on the machine. Still no difference.. Any other ideas? I think this machine needs to be shot |
