intervideo windvd or.... interactual player
2004-05-26, 3:59 PM #1
so... i tried to play a DVD (Equilibrium) on this laptop computer... which was recently reformatted and had XP installed... so the problem is, it has no default DVD player (besides Windows media, which doesn't have the correct Codec... you have to BUY the freaking Codec... that's retarded)... so i tried to download intervideo winDVD... which used to be on this comp... it isn't free.


SO then, i downloaded Interactual DVD player (free on the TTT DVD)... only to find that when i try to play Equilibrium, a message comes up saying that:

Quote:

Playback failed due to a problem with the video subsystem. Lowering your screen resolution or color depth may fix the problem
</font>


so... i lowered both the color depth and the resolution as far as they would go, with the same error message resulting upon attempted playback.


so i thought i'd read the FAQ on the interactual page... that page is kinda useless...

any ideas on how to fix this?!?! I don't want to pirate the software, nor do i wish to download any other good free DVD player. Thanks.

Download Media Player Classic:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=82303&package_id=84358

It plays ALL TYPES of video files, including DVDs. Just hit Open DVD from the file menu.

Didn't notice that part.

Anyway, Interactual player SUCKS MAJOR BUTT, TOTALLY. So just use anything, ANYTHING else. I've always despised it.
