Hi Dale,
thank you for your in deep explanations ! :)
The distortions I saw on my screen look identical to
those I recognizeed with my old nvidia card before using
the sync settings...so i /thought/ (read: "dont know for sure" ;) )
it would by a syncing problem again.
But it wan't.
For reasons I dont know in the nvidia-settings there was "GPU scaling"
activate. May be someone sitting in front of my computer the same time
I use to has fiddled with this setting without informing me... ;)
The trick is: When watching a video in its native resolution, the
problem does not occur.
When watching the video full screen, the GPU was instructed to scale
it up (instead of mplayer or vlc doing this job in software).
Problem with this is (I thinkt), that there is one-pixel-border around
the full-screen window of mplayer/vlc so the GPU is instructed to
scale it to 1918x1199 pixel. Then this is thrown into my LCD monitor
and .... rubish...
First I deatcivated "GPU scaling" and then spoke some serious words
to this guy, who uses my computer always the same I do and ... I am
happy again to have a clean video playing.
Thanks a lot for your explanations! (will store them for later use...
who knows what things I will encounter next....;)
Have a nice weekend!
Best regards
mcc
Glad to have helped. I find myself in a situation sometimes of not
knowing where to start looking. Of course, sometimes knowing where to
look doesn't always help either but it is worth a try at least. I
recently had video issues and knew where to look but the solution was
not so obvious to me but someone with better googling skills found a
solution.
