Flicker MPEG4

#1

Post by rakosnik » Wed Feb 20, 2013 12:41 am

Recently when I try watching MPEG4 files there is noticeable and continuous flicker. These are MPEG files that I made from VOB files using Handbrake. This didn't use to happen and I don't know why it is happening now. At first I thought it was an isolated file, but it is all MPEG4 files. The flicker doesn't happen with .wtv files that I've recorded from cable television. The flicker also doesn't happen when I watch the same file using VLC instead of Windows Media Player to watch the file. The flicker seems to be isolated to MPEG4 files that I watching using Windows Media Player. Any ideas? Please help.

Install any updates recently or codec packs?
Update DirectX here and try the file again: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download ... aspx?id=35
Are you up to date on Video Card Drivers? And have you updated Video Drivers Recently? If so can you roll back to the previous driver?
