Help - Vidoes crap out on my PC
I don't know why, but on my PC any animation I watch seems to be zoomed in. It does this on all of my video applications.

I don't understand it, it's like it's zoomed in 50%, and when I maximize a window that covers over the player, and then go back to the player, the picture is fixed for about 7 seconds, where it'll then return back to it's zoomed in view.

I'll post screenies if anyone asks, but it makes watching any video nearly impossible...

try opening preferences on the player? or something in your video options may work...

IIRC you can **** with your DivX settings to do **** like that.

Try playing with the config thingies on whatever codecs you're using.

Heh, you're right. I left it on the default settings and it ****ed up, but now that I eliminated all of the compatability crap in 3ivx, it runs fine.

Cheers, an0n.

Meh. I'm tired of this.

Once again, I direct you to the sockets.

As much as I'd love to spend all night arguing with you, the thought has lost it's appeal in view of your recent inability to entertain me, puppet.

I hereby cut your strings.

LOL Glad to hear it's fixed :)

And as for being nice to people, well, that's just my choice, I refuse to get stressed out over a forum ;)

Find a different codec thingy and do whatever you did to the first one.

And did you remember to click all the "Save Settngs" buttons and "Start-up Default" check-boxes?

Um.. there were none, so no, I didn't remember to...

But the divx codec isn't like the 3ivx one... and it's options are different. Is there a different divx codec out there, than the one on divx.com?

Just do a search for the Nimo codec pack.

It's got all the **** you could ever need and it installs it all automagically.
