The voodoo 3dfx cards came around 1997. The normal voodoo's where around 1995 when they released it.

I always get mixed up between 3DFX & Voodoo..

But the technology is from Voodoo, bought by NVidia.. D:

Only by buying a new processor or overclocking.

Than buy a 1+Ghz processor. They are cheap... Atleast the 1 Ghz ones...

Dragon-of-Rune · Post by **Dragon-of-Rune** » 01 Jul 2005, 13:47

then you need a better media player.

jemc · Post by **jemc** » 01 Jul 2005, 13:49

BS player is the only player where you can take screenies (i think)

Dragon-of-Rune · Post by **Dragon-of-Rune** » 01 Jul 2005, 13:50

That isn't importend how will you take screenshots if the file isn't playing.

R34GTR · Post by **R34GTR** » 01 Jul 2005, 14:32

jemc · Post by **jemc** » 01 Jul 2005, 14:33

i know, but i would like a player that plays .wmv files and you can take screenies of those videos. i need a player like this for the links on a site izklop.com

Dragon-of-Rune · Post by **Dragon-of-Rune** » 01 Jul 2005, 15:07

You could use winamp or realplayer.

jemc · Post by **jemc** » 01 Jul 2005, 15:23

you can't take screenies from winamp and i haven't tried with realplayer

PSZeTa · Post by **PSZeTa** » 01 Jul 2005, 16:31

CTRL+I doesn't work in WMP?

Dragster · Post by **Dragster** » 01 Jul 2005, 16:34

erm
What codec pack are you using? If you haven't tried Coda Codec Pack, you should try it.
I also had some problems with normal DivX codecs, BSPlayer just blocked when I tryed to play a specific movie type.
With Coda it worked.

edit: I just realized that isn't the problem

Try using Fraps

You can take pics in Media Center.

VLC player

Arg, I'm getting sick of this.

I have a problem.. Every videofile I play ( I tried every player ) looks grainy and on the white side. You can see pixelation. However, when I take a screenshot, the screenshot looks normal..

Is this problem familiar? ;_;

It's about the same when you increase in the contrast alot of an image in Photoshop.

Edit: I found the problem.

It was running on low quality. ARG, I want to rip my hair out! >=(

Edit2:

ARG, I want to rip more hair out of my head. >=(

I forgot it looked like shiznit in the other players too, so I took a try with them. And yes, it looked like shiznit! I thought the slight quality decrease in WMP was just normal because I had much on my mind, but now I know it doesn't function normally. -_-

Edit3:

*sigh*

It was a problem with the newest NForce drivers.. Jeez, fixed.
