Topic: Strange video issue. 1/2 screen green and red stripes - Page: 1

Dieser Teil des Themas ist veraltet und kann veraltete oder falsche Informationen enthalten

After lots of head scratching, I almost have a viable VJ system. Here are the specs

2.8 Core Duo
200 gig drive
2 gig RAM
ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT Video
XP Pro fully patched
Direct X 9

Everything finally runs smooth and the effects are clean. My problem is that I get a random video glitch that puts colored lines (mostly green) on the right half of my rendered video. The lines appear in the main and secondary preview screen on the console as well as the 2nd monitor. I'm wondering if I need to RMA the card as defective. The return time is expired but I could get a replacement.

One more thing to note: The shadow dancer video on the screen shots below are from the video setting that asks to use the “clipbank” when playing MP3 Files. There is no problem with the video when using the “clipbank” plugin, only if played on the console. I have tested this extensively.

Here is a link to screen shots of the problem in progress.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I sort of doubt its the card but I could be wrong. It seems weird that is only comming from a single deck, and showing up in that decks preview too. What happens if you turn hardware rendering off in Config/Video, just curious as to the results.
 
It is coming from both decks. Turning off hardware accel is a kick in the pants and makes it stop for awhile. It comes and goes randomly. The latest drivers came out today and all but eliminated the issue. I'm narrowing it down to the Codecs config settings. I'm downloading Divx now.

Any other ideas would be great

More info....

When I use the "video decoder" for my MPG codec, everything plays but I get the random glitch described above. When I use the "Windows Media Player" decoder, Half my videos quit working but the problem goes away.

Ideas?????
 
Eeek, Um, is it only some files that display wrong, if you set auto mix on just the same two tracks for 30 minutes, will the files sometime play Ok, and play badly sometimes too.

Does the green error always appear on the same spots of the same tracks. IE, play some files, when you see the error, start the same track again, and check to see if the error happens at exactly the same time in the track.

Were all the files made in the same place on the same software?
 
Not made in the same place doesn't happen in the same place on the track. Clipbank continues to play the tracks perfectly. bumping the hardware acc button or bumping the pause button will make it go away.

I'm wiping the system and reloading it from scratch. I will do XP patches etc one at a time and test to see if the problem shows up after each patch.
 
Total reload and the problem is back just like before. It works perfectly with no hardware acceleration turned on. I just don't get video effects, just a simple fade between videos.

I now know I'm safe for tonight's gig. Whew!

I'm going to swap the card and go from there.

I'll report back what I find.

What a pain

P.S. - These Shadow Dancers DVD's are a great video for your clipbank. They have scenes from mild to very wild. It's just like the Shadow Bar in Vegas!

Ok the reload is what i would have suggested too, but most people dont like hearing that.

Have you tried a different set of video drivers? even if they are older, like way older, it may point you in the right direction.

I also had green stuff appering at times in windows media player, but not on VDJ. i never really worried about it, but figured it was a codec issue. never did get it sorted however.

Try another video card by all means.

What file type/s is this happening on, just one type like mpg, or all file types? perhaps try another file type.
 
i am on trial and have told it is the program to use. i am having the exact problem. with some whole picture flickering

my system is dell optiplex 755
xp pro 2002 sp2
E6850 @3.00GHz
4 gig ram
ATI Radeon HD 24OO XT 256

this computer arrived on Wednesday and is brand new.

Can You fix this Problem.
 
I have had similar green bars in the past when I was using a trial version of a video codec that had expired.
If you are set to "video decoder" in the codecs panel, then you shouldn't be using an external video codec anyway, so I kinda doubt that this is your problem, but I figured I would mention it anyway.
 
First things first, Merry Christmas.

I am having the same issue with Virtual Dj. I almost have the exact same specs as you do and cannot find a fix for this issue.
I first had an NVIDIA 8800 gts 320mb DDR3, but for some reason the video would keep on freezing. So I decided to purchase another video card. Now I am facing the half green screen with red horizontal lines.

Does anyone have a fix or suggestions that can solve the problem.

System:
NFORCE 680i SLI MOTHERBOARD
ATI HD 2600 XT 512MB GDDR3
DUO CORE 2.13GHz
2 GB of RAM
1 TB HARDDRIVE
XP PROFESSIONAL
NO OTHER PROGRAMS INTALLED ON THIS SYSTEM

Thanx,

@Mrtim
It can be a problem of deinterlacing or codecs.

According to the pictures I have just seen, only the video "Mickael Jackson - Smooth Criminal" is affected on the left deck and there is no problem on the right deck

So just load the video of the right deck on both deck and it should work correctly.
 
Out of curiousity do you have the latest Direct X (10-xx-07), the latest video drivers (12-20-07). I just got the latest ATI drivers and am seeing better performance (I use Vista). Just somethin to check out.
 
I FIXED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I loaded up this Codec

http://www.xpcodecpack.com/

Used this codec on all my video types (MPEG, MPG, AVI etc) and it works perfectly!

Give it a try!!!!!
 


Good to hear ;) codecs means lots
 
"So just load the video of the right deck on both deck and it should work correctly"

Just to review that comment...it was on both decks on all video randomly. The clip bank video was never a problem. Could it be that there was no video effect associated with it?



Everything now works great but the video is being taxed way more than before so I may end up with dual ATI 2000 cards with a crossfire cable. The system goes int sleep mode whe the card gets overloaded.
 
i have all updated and tried the codec listed. still havin the problem.
is there a special way to install the codec.?

I just meant that it wasn't a video card problem if you loaded the video from the right deck on both decks because the codec was ok with this one ;-)
 
Did you switch them in the codecs menu? Your new codec will be th last one on the list.

I recently Changed my system at home and I use this same Vid card as you. ATI HD2600 and for the past 2 days I've been getting the same green lines on the secondary display.

Question for you:

When downloading the codec package you have listed above, How do you make it available in VDJ? I've downloaded some other codecs and the config menu baffled me. So off the hard drive it came.

Is it automated or are there some steps to import them to VDJ?


New install of XP home - 2 days ago.
AMD 4600+ dual core 2.66 ghz
2 GB ddr2 RAM 800ghz
ATI HD2600 512 MB Vid card.
