610067 2007-11-10 04:22:00 Are you getting a slowly overtaking green diagonal that then covers the whole screen in the player? SurferJoe46 (51)

610070 2007-11-10 10:38:00 Do they play OK in Windows Media Player? stu161204 (123)
610071 2007-11-10 10:49:00 How do I get them to play in that? bob.m (13015)
610072 2007-11-10 10:59:00 The results are the same, seems to buffer then stops bob.m (13015)
610073 2007-11-10 12:51:00 Sure the movie files aren't corrupted? Try something open source like VLC Player first, it'll literally play anything and see if the problem persists. beeswax34 (63)
610074 2007-11-11 08:55:00 Have tried VCL, Picasa2, windows photo gallery and they all open the movie okay then play for a few seconds then sometimes stop as if it is buffering then starts again for a few secs then stop etc. sometimes freeze the pc altogether The movies play ok straight into the tv from the camers ,canon G7,but the pc looks as if it isnt up to the job which is a bit of a joke given the specs.This also is with movies I have had for years (on an external drive) and have played okay on my old pc bob.m (13015)
