How to get rid of a vertical speckled pink stripe at the right edge of every Xvid video during playb

Hello!
How to get rid of a vertical speckled pink stripe at the right edge of
every Xvid video during playback?
Best regards,
Dima

 

With Media PLayer Classic, you could enlarge the picture, to have it
disappear.

Thanks Martin for your reply!
The stripe hides a part of the video. I want to see that part too.

You can't see "under" your stripe. The video information does not
exist in the copy you have. It is a 2-dimensional image. If you want
to see what is in that part of the frame, you will have to discard the
file you have and get a clean copy.

 

That requires rotoscoping. If the camera is not moving, you are doomed, and
it will be lost. If the camera does move, you could reconstruct the area by
copying the missing bits from previous or later frames, overwriting the
pink stripe. Usually rotoscoping is done by programs like Adobe After
Effects or Discreet Combustion (the affordeable options), and requires a
lot of time. It's not a quick, automatic process unfortunately.

Yes, I cannot see "under" the stripe, but others can see, they do not
have the stripe on their computers.

Others can see the video under the stripe on their computers. The
stripe appears on all Xvid videos on my computer.

Ah, then you have a problem with your software. Did you try a different
player? Did you try a different Xvid codec? Do you have the latest versions
of them all?

cheers

Thanks Martin for replying!
I tried different players: VLC, MPlayer, WMP, WinDVD.
I tried ffshow. It did not help. I have the latest versions of them
all.

In ffdshow you should be able to select the Xvid decoder. Do you frequently
update your codecs? Maybe the Xvid has a dodgy installation. Or ffdshow.
Or.... uhm, so many steps. Reinstall windows! (just kidding).

Then you have either a bad copy of the video file,
or something is wrong with your viewer(s). It seems
like a simple case of differential diagnosis.

Does your player properly display other video files?
Can you get another copy of your problematic video
file? (Like from someone who can play it properly)

 

Thanks Richard Crowley for replying!
All my players properly display all non-Xvid video files.

Dima

 

Thanks Martin for replying!
Others do not see the pink stripe at right if the Xvid videos.

Dima

 

Read it in your other mail. I would suggest to follow Richard Crowley's
suggestions, because it's an elimination process to find the cause of the
pink stripe.

I would also suggest he tries uninstalling Xvid support & reinstalling
it using a different download source. There are a number of buggy,
hacked, Xvid codecs out on the web, especially in the multi codec packs.
There may also be an interaction with his video card driver, so he'll
need to check that he's got the latest drivers for that.

The same files playing on other systems points strongly in this direction.

 

Thanks John for replying!
I uninstalled Xvid codec and ffshow. MPlayer still plays Xvid files
with the pink stripe.

Dima

 

*ALL* Xvid files, or just the one you have a problem with?

 

Thanks Richard for replying!
MPlayer still played Xvid files with the pink stripe. I have deleted
the MPlayer. QuickTime player and Real Player do not play Xvid files
any more. WMP and Nero player play Xvid files with the pink stripe,
but with video distortions.
Saved to jpg WMP screen with the video with the pink stripe does not
contain the video and the stripe, but the player window only. Inserted
to MS Paint WMP screen with the video with the pink stripe could be
scrolled, but the video with the stripe do not scroll.
Best regards,
Dima

 

Thanks Martin for replying!
The stripe disappeared after "disabling all DirectDraw and Direct3D
accelerations, as well as all cursor and advanced drawing
accelerations" - lowering Hardware acceleration 3 steps down on the
Troubleshoot tab in the video card properties.
The video card driver is the latest.
How to prevent the stripe with the full Hardware acceleration?
Regards,
Dima

 

Good question. I have an Nvidia-card (6600), and enabling hardware
acceleration gives me funky looking pictures too. The video plays well
without the accelaration on, so I leave it off. So I never took the
opportunity to actually research the cause.
