Media Player Display Bug?
Posted by admin on Sep 27th, 2006
When Media Player is in full screen mode I've noticed that the time line / scrub bar flickers on and off. Anyone else have this problem?Thanks, Dustin

There always have been. I keep asking why?1. Inability to correct play some AVI and MPEG files. 2. Inability to play audio tracks in some videos start to finish. 3. Unexplained pausing, stuttering, skipping, breakup. 4. Some videos can show upsidedown or totally reverses left to right. 5. Hue, Contrast controls do not function properly or work at all. 6. Often hangs before finishing video, audio may play, then cut out. 7. Nags about "can't find a codec", already installed on system. 8. Plays far below rated frame rate on some vids. 9. Has trouble with many DVD's some HD vidsThe list goes on and on. Micosoft in over ten years still hasn't fixed this Windows applet perferring instead to keep adding more "features" that rarely work as advertised. And no, these are NOT codec issues. Because every file that exhibits any of these symptoms PLAYS FINE if played on another player. While no player can play everthing the iroy is the builtin Media Player can't even play videos that run on Microsoft authored codecs. How silly is that?So Microsoft, how come you can't fix this?

"Adam Albright" from Elliot Carver in 007's "The World is Not Enough":Carver "Mr Jones are we ready to release our new software?" Jones "Yes sir, as requested, it's full of bugs. Which means people will be forced to upgrade for years." Carver "Outstanding."
