Old ASUS CUV4X
I have a older ASUS CUV4X motherboard that I'm using in a pc in an attempt to get videos to play.
After fresh install of Windows XP, using several different drives, I cannot seem to get a video playing in either of the three media players I tried. Not DVDs or video files. At best I might get a frozen or near frozen image that looks like this: http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/l...ps4b1fd60a.jpg Or the pc would just freeze when I attempted to play open up a video file/DVD. It's as if this is beyond the PCs power. The only odd thing is that the computer does occasionally/randomly send me into set-up upon booting up prompting me to correct the CPU frequency settings, but I don't know why since I corrected them using just the dip switches as per what is in the manual. And also in BIOS. http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/l...psccea01ef.jpg I tried different settings, but I'm presently at 133 x 7.5. Could the real problem be the ram? They are not matching sticks. But the entire 512mb(256 x 256) does show up. I can however play mp3s, that is the most I can do. Any advice on what to do? Thanks. Darren Harris Staten Island, New York. |

Make sure the Display control panel, has your AGP video card set for 32 bit color. The colors look like you're in 16 bit or some lower mode. And if it is a lower mode, then the driver is not working. Go to Device Manager, and review the video card and driver file entry. Or even, run dxdiag from command prompt, and play with the test buttons, to get some idea how well things are working. Please give us details on the video card make and model. It means less guessing. Um, there is no video card. The monitor is plugged directly into the motherboard, so it is integrated video.

Like something Asus would do, if it thought the PC had crashed. If you've turned on the "jumper settings" switch, it should be hard wired (JEN at position 1-2 should hard wire the speed). Nope. As I mentioned this happens "occasionally/randomly", so I doubt it has anything to do with crash recovery. And since a pc can crash for many reasons, why would ASUS do that as opposed to prompting with a warning on boot up? Could the real problem be the ram? They are not matching sticks. But the entire 512mb(256 x 256) does show up. Could be CPU instability. Is it really a 133 x 7.5 = 1GHz processor ? You have to be careful of any internal ratios. If 1:1 with RAM, you'd want PC133 RAM sticks, or they'd be run out of spec. Check the System/SDRAM Frequency ratio. For example, 4/3 would take a 133MHz CPU and create a 100MHz RAM clock for PC100 RAM. Something along those lines. Some later motherboards, might have supported the other direction, such as 3:4, and running RAM faster than CPU. In any case, check your math. At one time, there was also a ratio setting, between CPU (133) and AGP slot. We'd have set that to 2:1 to get AGP 66MHz. That's the correct clock for AGP (twice the PCI clock). The ram is from different companies. But perhaps this is the problem: PC100-222-620 and PC100-333-542 I can however play mp3s, that is the most I can do. Any advice on what to do? Thanks. Darren Harris Staten Island, New York. To help decode DVDs, Inverse Discrete Cosine Transform helps (IDCT). Most video cards have that, so it's not worth checking for it. I don't really know when that came in. Before my time. (An unimportant link...) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrete_cosine_transform But that's only a portion of video playback. IDCT only helps a tiny bit. On my previous P4 system, I found a pretty large overhead for "scaling". If a video is 720, and you stretch it to 1024 wide, and the video card lacks a scaler, it uses 40% of my P4 just doing that. So *don't* display video in non-native format. I only have one video card here, with a decent scaler, where the CPU does nothing when asked to scale. The GPU does it all. Older cards (MX440), wouldn't have a scaler as far as I know. I don't think my 9800 Pro had a scaler. If you could find a modern video card (with AGP slot), that might have a DVD video decoder inside it. We may have discussed this, at some point in the past. The driver situation on stuff like this, can be pretty grim. Always read the reviews for the still-for-sale AGP cards, as they'll have the details about where to get a driver. There aren't many good cards left to choose from. HD 4350 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814161318 The 4350 is UVD 2.2, meaning a certain vintage of decoder is in the GPU. This would likely work better than your current card - as long as a driver can be found that actually works. Still, you've only got a 1GHz processor, which is too slow for the ~1.5GHz suggested limit, so your video card has to be "damn good" on its decoder. With an MX440 say, you'd have next to nothing in terms of decoding. The video should still play, but drop frames in an attempt to keep the audio in sync. There is no "scaling" involved. I'm assuming that getting a video card may help? I really don't have money to spend on this, but if worse comes to worse I was thinking about searching on Craiglist: http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/sys/3932929739.html Thanks.

I'd struggle at times with a 2.4Ghz CeleronD. Still, does seem they should play or at least offer a token more info than just to crash. Try some lesser encodes, MPG, changing your codecs ... might want to find some older software, closer anyway to when/if players ran at 1Ghz core speeds. Look up if GOM is available on SIMTEL. I used Belarc to confirm the processor speed. These same DVDs, FLV and MP4 files played ok on my 1Ghz mini-ITX that had 1G ram. (Or my previous system which had less than a 1Ghz processor and 512mb of ram). I have several codec packs, but try to stay away from them because they tend to create more problems than solve, requiring me to uninstall them. GOM is the player that will crash when I attempt to play a DVD. Thanks. Darren Harris Staten Island, New York. |

There is no "scaling" involved. On the contrary, grabbing the handles on the viewing window and changing the window size, triggers scaling, and a sudden jump in CPU usage. That's what I saw on my P4. Going full screen will do it - that's scaling, guaranteed. The movie has an intrinsic size. Say it is 720. It takes a bloody miracle, for the software to actually display on screen at 720. And not trigger scaling. Most players will not make it easy, for the movie to be played at native size. They don't really have an option that says "I have limited CPU, please don't scale anything".

Darren Harris Staten Island, New York. The resources in each computer, are limited. You can do everything on the CPU (i.e. do output to a dumb frame buffer, like one of those USB to VGA dongles). Or, if the CPU is too weak, it's either a shader program on a GPU, or decoding in a dedicated block (available even on low end video cards in a product line), that helps. The purpose of getting a GPU on a video card to help, is in some cases, you can add more processing power to a machine that way, than you can by getting a faster Pentium III. On the Google Chromecast, they do exactly that. A lousy processor, coupled with a so-so GPU fixed decoder (for VP8 only). As soon as you stray away from VP8, it's not going to work well at all. http://www.anandtech.com/show/7186/g...-hdmi-dongle/2 If you're lucky, your chipset graphics will have IDCT. And that is only a small percentage improvement. A UVD card or a Purevideo card may help quite a bit more, but even so, they cheated on those (as I read recently), and there are still some activities that the CPU has to do. And the video card choices are getting more limited as time goes by. The HD 4350 I selected, isn't the very best at it, but it's all that is left at retail. There were a few more HD 5450s. The limiting part now, is two-fold 1) Both ATI and NVidia have stopped making Rialto and HSI. These are the bridge chips, that convert modern PCI Express GPUs on video cards, for usage with AGP. The HSI was the first one to be discontinued, meaning NVidia lost the ability to make AGP, a long time ago. And while ATI made Rialto bridges for a while longer, it's just possible the crappy selection in Newegg, is because those are all gone too. ATI Rialto, on the back of an ATI AGP card... http://www.theinquirer.net/img/2779/...jpg?1241332001 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NVIDIA_BR02 2) Even when you do get the right hardware config, and there is a "nice" video card with built-in movie decoding, the card still needs a driver. The video card companies, generally don't waste a lot of time on these cards, so support usually consists of just one "good" driver release. And (2) is why, if you're going to Craigslist for a card, be damn sure to cross-check the card detail with Newegg reviews, to see if a driver is available for it. Maybe the driver comes from a page on the HIS site, rather than from the ATI driver download page. You have to hunt around, to find a driver that won't crash or artifact. ******* I don't know anything about the GPU in your CUV4X chipset. Even if I had the name, I doubt at this point in time, I could locate an accurate hardware feature set. The most modern video cards, have UVD or PureVideo. Articles in Wikipedia, will go over what accelerations those are capable of. The player application, has to know about DXVA, to access the acceleration features in a general way. At one time, before DXVA, some players had some kind of driver package, included with the player. But those were commercial players. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DXVA "Nvidia PureVideo - the bit-stream technology from NVIDIA used in their graphics chips to accelerate video decoding on hardware GPU with DXVA. UVD (Unified Video Decoder) - is the video decoding bit- stream technology from ATI Technologies to use hardware (GPU) decode with DXVA." The HD 4350 I picked out, has some version of UVD on it. And now, you need a decent OS to use it with. Even if it meant going to Linux and using VDPAU. You will notice in the description, that VDPAU may not match DXVA 2.0 exactly in terms of capability. (And on Windows, if you go to the most modern OS, like Windows 8.1, that won't install on a Pentium III, so you can't even run the free preview version of the OS, as a means to getting to test DXVA 2.0.) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VDPAU "ATI/AMD released an open source driver for Radeon 4000+ graphic cards featuring VDPAU acceleration. VDPAU is implemented in X11 software device drivers, but relies on acceleration features in the hardware GPU. (Currently, only the second generation PureVideo HD bit-stream processor in some of Nvidia's GeForce 8 series and later video controller hardware work as of Beta device driver version 180.06." It's basically a mine-field, in terms of what you get, and when. You will have better luck with a commercial player (WinDVD), than with a freebie, as the commercial players usually get a little more help building their decoder, from the GPU chip makers. Independent developers don't tend to get the time of day. ******* If you get DXVA capable hardware, you can download the trial version of a commercial player, and see how much difference the GPU hardware can make. For some of the Corel software, you'll need .NET 4.0 installed, to make the installer work. I think some other Corel crap I tried, the trial was for 30 days. (Since I couldn't use the interface on it, couldn't figure it out, I got zero usage, but that's besides the point. This stuff will undoubtedly work better, than what I was testing.) http://www.corel.com/corel/product/i...egid=5 000008 And picking another one from this list... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compari...layer_software you could look for a trial for this one. Cyberlink PowerDVD. http://www.cyberlink.com/products/po...res_en_CA.html In some of the old Anandtech articles, where they evaluated UVD and PureVideo, those are the kinds of players that had beta hardware support. ******* You also have the option, of playing movies in two steps. 1) Convert DVD VOB to AVI uncompressed (would take hours and hours). 2) Then, play the AVI in real time. Readout rate might be 20MB/sec from the hard drive. This might use less CPU, as there is no decompression step. Paul |
