I've noticed somthing on my new XP box, everytime i playback a video, avi, mpg etc, regardless of the codec, or the player, media player powerDVD etc, the sides and bottome are cropped. I don't get this on the same files on my other box.

I've installed NIMO version 5.0 build 8, but this was even happening before that.

At some point i also installed the ffdshow filter. But i don't think thats it.

Am i missing some whacky setting someplace?

Thanks alot.

I'm sorry I don't have an answer, but it has to be something bigger than your machine. It just happened to me as well. I used to be able to play/view videos fine. Then something happened (I don't know what) and I couldn't play DVD's anymore. I could still view other videos (AVI, MPEG) fine. I just recently updated my machine with the latest NVIDIA drivers (I have a Nvidia GE Force MX 400) and now I have the same cropping problem. I origionally thought that ANY video was cropped, but I am now finding out that only SOME videos are cropped and some are not. I tried rolling back my video driver - now my DVD's only play audio (same problem as before) but that didn't fix the cropping problem.

yeah - definatly is - I dropped back to version 28.84 - look on nvidia's site - go to archived drivers... or I think this is the link:
http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp-2k_28.84.html

It's a really old version (2.something) but it fixed all my problems - I can play DVD's and movies now! :-)
