Video CD's / MPEG & Creative Labs MPEG Decoder

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Video CD : One Thread

I have the Creative Labs PC-DVD kit, and the decoder card has a tv output. About half of the video cd's, and mpegs that I find play perfectly on the monitor, but only half of them work on the tv. When they don't work on the tv, the image is in black & white and the image keeps scrolling down the screen, does anyone know a way to fix this?

Thanks,

Jeff.

You are probably viewing a VCD that was encoded in PAL and your TV is NTSC or vice versa and there is probably nothing you can do about it except view it on your computer.

get a program called RemSelec - it allows you to change video format of output
