Hi-


Everytime I try to use Zoom Player with FFDSHOW, I get huge lag and sometimes total unresponsiveness in any given DVD's menu. I have disabled all of FFDSHOW's settings and just had it run in Zoom Player's "additional filters," and it still causes this. Playback during the movie is fine. At first I thought it was because I had too many options selected, but like I said, with nothing selected, it still staggers.


When I disable FFDSHOW in the "additional filters" box, zoomplayer runs fine.


My system isn't the fastest, but it's no slouch:


AMD mobile 2400+ (running @ 2.2ghz)

512mb Corsair Ram

Abit NF7-S v.2

Ati Radeon 9600xt


I figure if I can run Far Cry without a hitch, I should be able to get the DVD stuff up and running with some pretty good filtering. If anyone can point me in a worthwhile direction I would be most happy. I want to buy ZoomPlayer, but only if I can get FFDSHOW to work.


thanks

Sounds like tou are using the WinDVD video codec, in which case you must configure DMO Abstract with a setting of 0 to gain stability

Indeed I am, which I forgot to mention. Thanks. I haven't tried it yet, though I did get my hands on a copy of PowerDVD (turns out it came with my DVDROM) and used the filters from that and zoom player works perfectly and looks pretty fantastic too. Between this and WinDVD (hopefully it will work), I may not have to buy the Sonic filters at all.


thanks,
