Hi. I'm going crazy trying to troubleshoot this.
Recently all my captured video files started to playback somewhat distorted. There is a black vertical line on the right side of the frame. Viewing the video on fullscreen it looks as if the video is slightly shifted to the left. I doubt these files can be corrupted since just a few days ago they played back JUST FINE. And now whenever I try to capture (using ATI AIW 9800pro) I get same this distortion. It doesn't matter what format I'm capturing to, what software I'm using to capture, or what video player I'm using to watch them.
Here's what I've tried:
--Reinstalling/updating my ATI drivers (all of them - Cat's, MMC, WDM, etc)
--Playing the video without any ATI drivers installed.
--Using several different file players (WMP, ATI's player, Vidomi, Vdub, etc)
--Reinstalling Windows Media Player 9
--Using Nimo's Codec pack (this caused WMP to stop playing the files altogether)
--Playing the videos under a different user (using XPhome by the way)
Here's the only things I can think it might be connected to (things I've done since it was all working correctly):
--Had some sort of virus (pup.exe) that attacked Window Media player and/or my video files. (BUT, all the videos I've downloaded still play fine)
--Upgraded to ATI's MMC 9.0
--Messed around with "Geoshell", an alternative for explorer.exe (I've since uninstalled)
--Messed around with "Mobydock" (I've since uninstalled)
--Messed around with "Objectdock" (Still on the computer, but I've tried shutting it down and playing videos with same results)
If anyone can help that would be great. I've spent hours upon hours scouring the web with every possible string of words I can think of to describe this problem and found nothing.
Thanks.
