How to change the rendering used for video playback in Windows Media Center Version 6 engine

I usually use other media players, but I would like to first of all using Windows Media Center. However for the moment video playback is not good because of the weird colors (everything is displayed in black and Red instead of normal colors). When you use other media players, I use the Haali rendering engine which gives good results for video playback.

Can you tell me how to change the rendering used by Windows Media Center?

Also, I noticed the same weird color effect in Windows Media Player 11.

Hi Woobee,

1. What is the brand and model of the computer?

2. what graphics card use on the computer?

If you are using an Nvidia graphics card on the computer, in the Nvidia Desktop Manager, you will find an option for saturation to ensure it is set to 100%.

And if you are any other graphics card on the computer and search for a similar option for saturation.

If the previous step fails in Windows media player, so be sure that the hue and Saturation are defined by default.

1. click on the arrow on the tabplaying , point to enhancements, and then clickcolor picker.

2. do one of the following:

  • Choppy video playback in Windows Media Center (Windows 7) WTV

    I recently experienced a video playback jerky with windows media center.  Sometimes the recorded TV (WTV format) play very well for about 2-3 minutes until the video playback is very jerky (probably about 5 to 10 frames per second instead of the usual 30-60 fps).  The audio is not again normally.  Windows Movie maker also plays choppy video (Windows Media Player seems to work very well).  The main menu of Windows Media Center, itself becomes generally restless slow when I'm scrolling autour options, even when there is no video game in the background.  Video streaming on the Internet and DVD seems to play fine on Windows Media Center, and I can even stream HD video without problem.  I also know that this isn't a problem receiving the TV tuner since I test with the video recorded previously.  I bought my computer in June 2009 with Windows Vista and upgrade to Windows 7 a few months later.  Everything worked perfectly well until recently.

    I tried to update my video card drivers, reallocation of Windows Media Center to a task of "high priority" to improve performance, the RAM Cache to improve the performance, my graphics card setting to low quality setting to have superior performance to compensation.  I even tried to reinstall Windows Media Center, reinstall Windows Media Player and the restoration of my entire computer to a State a few months in the past where the problem was not intervened.  The memory usage seems OK too (I have 6 GB).  Basically, I don't think that the issue is performance related.  I'm guessing that there is some little conflict, pilot program, codec, etc., which is originally the video playback to go bad after a few minutes.  Any thoughts?

  • How to change the PCTFREE parameter for an existing table

    How to change the PCTFREE parameter for an existing table?

    Guys can you help me please

    Hello

    Of course it is possible.
    In this case you would export the table from the database (using old style exp)
    Start the import with the index_file option to generate the table/index instructions
    Modify the file created and updated the PCTFREE and remove any that need to be performed (default, if I remember correctly, he comments on the statements of the Index)
    Run the file for the table and the index created
    After that start the import with the option "ignore = yes".

    Make sure that you export only this particular table using "tables =
    Also in importing the "ignore = yes" will also be important data that still exists.

    In my view, however, this is not what you want to do. It's more complex, sensitive failure and the table should be deleted, so users are affected unnecessarily long.

    Success!
