Help !! Winamp 5 Final - videos play upside down !!

subman · 12-17-2003, 08:50 AM

Strange problem -

On my daughters computer which consists of a BX chipset ASUS P3B-F with an ASUS 3800 TNT 2 display card Winamp 5 final plays the AVI files upside down - in other software like Media Player and PowerDVD they play fine.

Any one have any solution to this problem ? I tried fiddling with the settings in Winamp as well Display Properties - no luck. I tried reducing of the Hardware Accel setting in the Display properties.

Did you try turning your monitor upside down ? It might help.

Sorry...couldn't resist.

I don't know what the problem could be, but the developers often answer questions on the winamp boards....you might try posting your problem over there too.

LOL

Nah seriously, it's must likely Codec problem, wrong version or something (like divx 5.05 vid and you have 5.01 or something)

since we are talking about codecs and video,does any1 know of a codec pack that is farely up to date and has no spyware???i installed a codec pack that contained many codecs i could run all types of video/sound without problems,but it contained who knows what and now i cant do a windows update,cant do a roll back cause i will lose stuff i need,so soon ill have to reformat,wohooo!!!!!

also is there anyway to make winamp stay lets say in the top righthand corner perm,even if iam viewing a website and click on the webpage,this would be a nice feature while whatching a video or something

Make sure the main window (not EQ, Playlist, etc.) is the active window and press Ctrl+A. Or right click WinAmp, click Options, then Always on Top. Not sure if this would apply when watching videos though.

oh wow man ty the ctrl+a works like i wanted,thanks for the info

Thanks for the replies - the first thing I suspected was the codec and I reloaded Divx 311 - no difference. Still upside down

I checked on Google and this seems to be a common problem - but no one has an answer.

isnt there a newer divx???you could try a new version and see if winamp still play upside down

I got it to work right... I used divx 4.11 and that corrected the videos. I also tried a couple of ver 5.xx and they did not help. I ripped them with divx 3.11 so I thought that should have made it work right - it does with Meda Player and PowerDVD.

Thanks for all the suggestions and the jokes about this problem
