Qosmio G40-108: bad quality video/DVD playback

I have new Qosmio G40 108 loaded with Vista Ultimate and am very disappointed with the quality of video/DVD playback compared to the older machines loaded with XP. Seems insipid depth bland, not really the color and not too strong. I tried another laptop of another manufacturer and pretty much the same thing!

What is Vista's fault? You want to try XP but blocks me when I boot with XP disc in. I would like to run the two to see if there is a difference. (Sorry to all if this appears as message repeated hurry but bad touches earlier - starting!)

I don't have a notebook, G40 but I use the Vista OS and I must say that the video and the quality of the DVDs is great!
Don't know what DVD software you use, but I use the WinDVD and Windows Media Player. Two applications provide the same quality.

> I tried another laptop of another manufacturer and pretty much the same thing!
According to your own statement I don't think that there is something wrong with the Qosmio G40 laptop because you have the same opinion on the other non-toshiba computer.

PS; I wonder why you start always different threads on the same topic:

However, if you wish, you can test the XP if the same phenomenon occurs with other OS.

  • Qosmio G40-108-dvd/video playback quality

    You just bought the Qosmio G40 - 108 loaded with Vista Ultimate. EAD all reports and went for the superb view report. I am very disappointed by the quality of playback on DVD and avi (divX, Xvid, h264). The colors are bland bland and not all that sharp.

    Compared to my Toshiba 3 year, mid-range machine running Windows XP Home edition, it is pretty poor. I did not test anything.

    Am I missing something or is it the fault of Vista. I tried to load Windows XP Home edition, but could not because it came with the message "blocked" since WXP is a downgrade. Can anyone help? Please, I beg you.

    Hello James

    I'm really surprised that your question is marked as replied. You have the solution to the problem described? Please let us know everything is OK now and I hope that you will be able to watch DVDs.

    Hello

    This forum is not a trading market!

    I imagine that for the moment the G40 recovery CD is not available and the authorized service provider ordered the warehouse of head of Toshiba Recovery CD.
    It takes a little longer.

    But if you want you can install the operating system from the original CD of Microsoft Windows and all the necessary drivers Toshiba you will find on the European driver Toshiba page!

  • Qosmio G40-108 - prevent recovery of product disc ask to insert the disc

    I have a Qosmio G40-108 and it works fine even if the disc is not read discs any longer, perhaps because of a motherboard failure that I replace the disk with a new of brans and it still does not work, but my problem is the following... I have the product recovery disc, I tried to copy it to a USB key and reinstall the OS from USB and the start of software loading a page with the logo Toshiba asking to insert the recovery disk into drive F: I can't use is more like it's broken. How can I prevent the disc from asking to insert the disk into drive F:? There are lines on the laptop recovery disk to install the USB without using the disc?

    I managed to install a generic Windows Vista 32 bit downloaded from a Web site and my serial key works with it, but I really want to reinstall the original software
    P.S. Recovery of product is for Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit and just in case there is also a serial number of the disk GMR400766ENG

    I don't have any experience with this, but I found an interesting article on creating recovery USB - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD4103KB0000R01.htm

    Maybe you'll be able to create the USB stick recovery. Check it out.

  • Qosmio G40-108 does not start

    Hi Gang

    I hope that there is some good buddies out there that can save a window double glazing to be mullared by that lappy.
    I had (Qosmio G40-108 with 4 GB of RAM) since August 2007. Everything was fine until two weeks about where it kept crashing during the execution of a couple normal progs that I use.
    After reading several messages from buddies with similar problems, I think it might be the PCI express graphics. Is this good? I can swap out? Or advice, blaggs, ideas or suggestions are very welcome. :)

    * Do not forget: there is always someone worse off than you... *.

    What exactly happens?
    Your Qosmio freezes simply and you must turn off or switches off without any warning messages?

  • Qosmio G40 does not recognize CD/DVD

    Qosmio G40 does not recognize CD/DVD, or sometimes it reads some DVD or CD. But it does not burn.
    Once I managed to burn, but could not be able to read the CD.

    All the world is facing this problem?
    What would be your suggestions?

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    This isn't a real problem.
    These problems can occur using incompatible media or not fully supported.
    I had this problem too. You wouldn't believe how many CD or DVD I used to know what media would be fine.

    Finally I went to TDK's and for a long time I m really satisfied.

    By the way; User manual you should provide some useful details on the compatible media. Check also.

  • Qosmio G40-108: Question about CPU upgrade

    Dear friends, I am an Italian man who asks if it is possible to change the CPU (T7700) of my Qosmio g40-108 with the new T9300 (like USA G45-AV690)

    All the best
    David

    Hi david

    Please understand that mobile technology is completely different Office of PC technology and motherboards are all just different.
    Upgrading the CPU's especially not possible or very risky for other reasons.

    A main reason could be overheating; as you know the stronger CPU would produce more heat and this could lead to a higher temperature and finally to overheating...

    In addition you BIOS was not configured for other processors so it possible s that your laptop does not start after such update!

    See you soon

  • What are the differences between Qosmio G40-108 V G40 - 12 c?

    I think to treat me to a new laptop.
    I got through the purchase of a Qosmio G40-108, because they seem to be the special offer
    But I discovered that there is a new due notebook, G40 - 12 c available end of February.

    Q. is there an update on the G40-108 due even time or I would be better to just buy a G40-108 now?

    Dave.

    Hello

    It depends on you how much money you want to spend. I mean that the difference between the-108 and-12 c, is-108 has a more powerful CPU (T7700) and a larger hard drive.
    But the basic technique, the machines should be similar.

    You have to choose yourself, but in all cases, you can buy the same maybe more or less powerful machine... :)

  • Bad quality video when I do a DVD

    Hello

    I was very disappointed when HD DVD footage.  I have create a sequence in first Pro CS5 and use the Dymnaic link software to make this sequence in again with out making it.  Sharpness and clarity are fine on the original film, but as soon as I do in a DVD, the output is always less strong and less defined.  Now, I understand that it is reduced in definition when rendering for DVD, but if I buy a DVD and play on a TV high-definition 65 inches high, it is almost as clear as a Blue Ray.  The stuff that I do seem to not even good on TV 25 inches: (.)

    Can someone help me understand what I am doing wrong?

    Thank you

    Mel

    There is a huge difference between those made of commercial DVDs and at home.

    If you want to play home made DVD on the big screen you a DVD with upscaler.

    For HD DVD will I suggest that you export directly to first max render quality mpeg2-dvd (vbr2/upper field).

    Import into Encore, menu and burn,

  • Satellite A660 - 11 m - video DVD playback is quite grainy

    Hello.
    Not so long ago, I bought this Satellite A660 - 11 m and I am extreemly happy with it. Graphics capabilities are perfect for my games.
    One thing however, I noticed that the video playback is very grainy, especially with the DVD. I tried to use the best software like Cyberlink Power DVD DVD playback.
    Is it possible that I can improve the clarity of the video and remove the adhering and afterimage?

    Any help would be greatly apreciated.

    Thank you

    You tested it with the original or some cottages created DVD?
    Maybe you checked the first Blu - ray movies and later when you use DVD quality is not very good. ;)

  • Is Qosmio G40-108 supports RAID?

    Does anyone know if the G40-108 supports the RAID1? According to the manual, the G30-204 made but there is no mention of RAID in G40 manual even if the G30 and G40 have double HARD drive.

    THX

    Colin

    Hello

    The G40 is an amazing camera. Very powerful and nice design. I like it!!!

    So I looked on the net to get some info on built-in hard drives and
    It seems that some of the units have been delivered with hard drives of 2 x 200 GB that supports the RAID without a doubt!

  • RH10 bad quality videos

    I need to publish some software simulations RH10 Webhelp and I meet a lot of difficulties. The only ones that seem to work are the videos I create in Captivate - these publish as. SWF files.

    I started with a MP4 file, created in Adobe Presenter 8, I converted into Adobe Media Encoder, FLV and F4V. I chose a maximum quality in Media Encoder.

    When I run these video files in other software, they are fine. The resolution is great. As soon as I insert in Robohelp using the Insert > Multimedia/Demo option, the screen resolution is terrible. Preview mode is bad, so, whatever happens, happens immediately. Generation does nothing either.

    The MP4 I inserted play not AT ALL (or at least not for five minutes, I waited), and it does not display the controls at the bottom. It was just a black rectangle on the page. I even tried to download the FLV file as a file of luggage with a link to it - didn't work. Nothing works.

    I tried the conversion of SWF files in two free converters because the encoder does not give me this option. I have no audio on one or the other, but the resolution has been good. There was another audio converter I would have paid that gave me the audio, but I'm looking for other solutions in the software I already have.

    I can't insert images of screenshots to show you - I get an error, so something is not on the site, I guess.


    How everyone is videos high resolution in Robohelp?

    Thank you!

    We have found the solution. A programmer and I messed around with this for a few hours and hitting on the size of the video.  When I converted the file to FLV format, the setting in Media Encoder is 1280 X 720. When I insert the file in Robohelp, the video is much smaller, so I grabbed the corner and it size about 920 X 700 or more. Don't do this!

    When I double click on the video and displays the multimedia dialog box, there is a button size. I clicked on it and is entered in the exact size of 1280 video, convert X 720 - and it is great!

  • Qosmio G40-108 crashed when reading things via WMP or VLC

    Whenever I play stuff via wmp or vlc the machine crashes.
    Sometimes I get an error message saying nvkklmd (something like that) has failed.
    I have dl the latest display driver, but have the same problem.

    Any suggestions? Googling the error message that tells me it is a compatibility issue with Vista and the card nvidia 8600.
    It makes me wonder why they would put such an element in if this is the case.

    It's very strange because one of my friends has a G40 on the table that he can play the video files using Windows Media Player and other players free downloaded off the net.
    Therefore, I doubt that there is a compatibility problem between Vista and nVidia.

    I think that it of really not easy to say what causes this problem until you will not recover your system. I mean you can try to play the same files on the laptop picked up fresh and if the laptop will not crash while it was certainly a problem of compatibility with you 3rd party software/files.

    If the laptop is going to plant a hardware problem may be possible

    As you see it s not easy to say how to resolve this problem, you must try in different ways and recovery belongs to one of the possible solutions.

    Hello

    It is very nice to hear that you already have the new Qosmio notebook. I can't say much about your problem because without a screenshot, it is not easy to understand what you mean exactly. On my Qosmio G30 (with the same HD resolution) I have no problem at all. Because of this I can't really understand what the problem is here.

    If possible send a link where we can see what it looks like. Your description is not enough.
    BTW: have you noticed that on web pages only?
