choppy pixelated blu ray playback

anonymous6366 · Sep 26, 2011

I have the asus blu ray drive and total media theater 3. when i watch newer moview like avatar the video is pixelated across parts of the screen. It is never the whole screen, but one area. any idea why it does this/suggestions to fix it?

thanks in advance!

oh and its the desktop comp

Perhaps it's an issue with Total Media Player 3. Try using something like VLC player or Media Player Classic.

Make sure you have the latest version of Total Media Theatre 3 - films like avatar have a newer DRM encryption algorithm which the original TMT3 didn't support (as it didnt exist when it was originally created). If you try older versions of bluray playback software on new DRM protected titles you will see partial corruption on the screen.

I know that there is a patch for the total media player line of software to allow proper playback, if it doesn't work with the latest updates then it is something else wrong in your system.

This is what vlc said
Your input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'dvd://D:\'. Check the log for details.

It doesnt seem like these support blu ray?

VLC can't decode blurays. Have you updated total media theatre 3 and tried that yet?

ok here is a new question. TMT3 now plays the movies fine but its really quiet. If i put the audio boost thing up it gets really scratchy. I do have a separate sound card so that may be part of the problem

try changing the audio output. sounds like you might have it set to 5.1 with only stereo speakers (could also be related to your windows/soundcard settings)

if you have it set to 5.1 output, then voices will only come out the center speaker, and very faintly through the rest.

If you've got them connected or setup wrong, you wont hear anything from the center channel, therefore it will seem 'extra quiet'

please run the sound test in windows, and make sure all your speakers are set up right.

(make sure its set to 6 channels/5.1 sound before doing so)
