Hi
Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction about a worsening problem I have.
My system is; AMD Sempron 2800+, 2GB of matched RAM, soundblaster 24 bit live, & Sapphire HD 2600 PRO. HDD's; Karaoke 120Gb 54.7 used. Music 120Gb 39.0 used & DVD's Sata 500Gb 181 Gb used.
Over the last few months my system has been getting slower & slower when loading DVD's/Karaoke.zip files. (Previously it worked fine). Now it won't load DVD,s/Karaoke.zip files when the TV setting is used, activate window setting & it runs reasonably well. Looking at my old graphics card I thought it was not really up to scratch, (Radeon 92500) So the following action was taken;
Format C drive & reinstall Vista PRO with service pack 2 as was originally installed, this is a minimum installation with no Word, Excel Etc just the minimum required to get it working. Loaded Directx 9 & all drivers for sound/graphics/Sata/motherboard. I then loaded my original Numark Cue off of my CD (I think it's V4. something?) I now have exactly the same problem again, DVD's take about 2 days to load or the programme stops responding, ONLY when the TV is activated, whether the TV is connected or not makes no difference.
I've been all through the settings both on Cue & the hydravision control & changed refresh rates, screen resolutions, latency Etc & I'm getting nowhere. Just out of interest I downloaded the trial of PCDJ VJ & have exactly the same problem. When I have config open & activate TV the CPU goes half way up the scale, when I click OK the CPU goes off the scale & everything goes pear shaped. I've also tried V5.0.7 & V5.1 nothing is solving my problem.
I know it's a bit long winded but I wanted to cover everything (?) in the hope that someone can help.
Thanks, Rob.

are you talking about loading DVDs in CUE or DVD files in normal players like MediaPlayer??

CUE, it's not just the DVD's but also Karaoke.zip files. The problem ONLY happens when I activate the TV/Window in config. I've just tried it again with no TV/window activated & player A loaded straight away, activate the small window & it has taken nearly 2 minutes to load player B, activate Video output ATI radeon HD 2600 Pro AGP & you can go & get a pint take the dog for a walk & wash the car before it loads into any player.
As I said this has worked perfectly for at least 12 months & the problem has only just recently started.

first of all I can suggest to download the latest driver of your new video card.
Which one is the company which munufactures your card??

It's a brand new ATI Radeon card with the very latest drivers installed as of 06/08/08

Good.
did you try to enable "Hardware acceleration"?
ATI cards have got a special chip called ATI AVIVO that it's optimized for video like:
- H.264/AVC and VC-1 video formats
- High definition (HD) playback of both Blu-ray and HD DVD formats
- Hardware MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4/DivX video decode acceleration
- Motion compensation and iDCT

If I enable hardware acceleration in CUE config I get 'Error in video driver'. In config I've set everythign for speed rather than quality & in Catalyst Control I've done the same & lowered the refresh rates to 50Mhz to try & make it as easy to run as possible.
I've also noticed that if the window/tv out is enabled even Mp3's load slowly.

You have a issue with your video driver.
Do it:
uninstall all about ATI card, reboot your computer and then install only Driver and Catalyst Control Center that you can download by www.ati.com
Don't install hydravision at the moment!
P.S: are you using Windows Vista with SP2??
Strange because the currently Service Pack for Vista is the SP1

Sorry about Vista, it's actually running XP Pro with SP2. I've got Karaoke running blindingly fast but still have a problem with DVD's it still keeps locking up.

After reinstalling your driver, did you try to enable "hardware acceleration" on VDJ and did you get the same "'Error in video driver"?
Your HD2600 Pro AGP is good with VDJ so I think it's not necessary change your hardware

I've enabled hardware acceleration & that works fine. However, when playing DVD's I now get just under half the right hand side of the picture flickering different colours, this goes on & off at different times during the playing. Karaoke & music is running fine.
Just started & the counter is still running but the DVD has frozen & the folders have shut down, now it's showing " Disk plugged IN or recovered. Disk location <controller 0, channel 1, Master>
