Vertical lines in mpeg-2 (svcd) playback

Fused · #1 (**permalink**) 28th June 2002

Trying to play back a 480x480 NTSC SVCD video, and i'm getting vertical lines fairly evenly spaced across the entire video window.

I don't experience this with any other video player (PowerDVD, WinDVD, MediaPlayer, ZoomPlayer).

Something to look into maybe ...

Does it with VOB files too.

MPEG-1 video displays fine.

Just seems to be a problem with MPEG-2. It's not AS noticeable at 100% scale but its stillt here. At 200% its more obvious.

change your MPEG-2 decoder to something else (like PowerDVD filter or WinDVD's one)

I believe it is using the CyberLink decoder, its all i've got installed.

Where do I check/change it? I saw a place to select the decoder for AC3 in the prefs but nowhere for mpeg2 video ...

Okay, I was messing around with the settings and managed to fix it.

The lines appear in Overlay - Mode 1, but not in Overlay - Mode 2.

When I try to disable overlay entirely BSPlayer crashes:

Code:
