DP8 video window stops playing

Post by Tripi »

Has anyone else run in to this problem with DP8, where a video will play back fine, and then either freeze on a frame, or just freeze on black? I can clear the movie, and re-open it, but it only helps sometimes. I'm sure this was never such a problem with past versions of DP. Makes scoring to picture very difficult (and time consuming) having to trouble shoot this. Any thoughts?

Haven't seen that one! Time for a graphics card shootout again?

I'm on a NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT 512 MB, dual digital monitors.

I've got an ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT (256mb). Not sure if that's the problem though. I tried re-converting my video to an m4v file, and it seems to work much better... but a little more choppy than before. Remember when DP5 could just play anything... smoothly... every time?
