OK,
System specs.
Duron 700, epox ep-8kta+, 384MB, IBM 30gb hdd, Maxtor 30GB HDD, Herc Gerforce 2mx, Quadzilla II, d-link nic, studio PCTV capture card.
Win Media 6.4 win98se nvidia 6.31drivers
Problem:
I can capture an episode of B5 but if I try to play it on this machine, video plays for about 1 second then it locks up, and I have to restart. I can send the file over to another machine(intel) and it will play the file fine. The AMD based machine can play mechwarrior4 for hours, it can run cutemx for days on end. But it will not play any freakin movie file.
I've reinstalled 98 from scratch and have the same problem. these files are not Divx or mpeg4, they are just plain .avi files. I did get scrambled looking screen after the reinstall of 98 and 6.31drivers. I had to completely power down and restart to fix the problem.
Is my video card hosed?
I'm starting to remember why I hated hercules cards in the past. This will be the third Herc geforce 2mx to die between me, my roommate and one of my friends.
<<edit>> I have tried mpeg, asf and wmv files with the same results?
