View Full Version : WD TV green garbled video

I have a WD TV with 1.02.07 prerelease installed.

Most of my videos play great until a certain point in the movie, where the video poops out, and appears to be scrambled and green. The audio continues fine.

If I hit FF and play, it always returns to normal, with quality picture and audio.

Then later in the movie it will do the same thing.

Harddrive is a 1 TB Buffalo. I reformatted it, using NTSF 64 kb clusters, and reinstalled a couple of my videos. Same thing continues to happen.

I have been updating the firmware whenever I see a new one.

I did not have this problem when I first bought the WDTV. It has been doing this consistently for a month or so.

Any ideas on how I can correct this?

Here's mediainfo from one of my videos that does this several times throughout the movie:
