RE: [LIB] Margi failing to play video
Date: Thu, 18 Oct 2007 03:17:54 + From: "Matthew Hanson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: RE: [LIB] Margi failing to play video I'll leave my system playing video over the weekend and will report back on what the BSODs say. Well Avi... I've got good news and bad news. The good news (for me) is that after 3 days of playing 3 ~2 hour DVD images in W2K, I didn't get a single BSOD. The bad news (for you) is I didn't come up with any data that might help diagnose your setup. I did experience a couple of problems, but I wasn't able to determine the causes. Day 1: Played a 2 episode DVD. Each episode ~2 hours. 1st episode played through and returned to the title menu unattended. The 2nd episode was playing for more than an hour, but at some point before I checked in the next couple of hours, the system had rebooted for some reason. But that's happened from time to time with the L110 just playing MP3s in W2K through my Echo Indigo. Maybe heat. It just shut down today because of heat. Day 2: Played the same DVD. 1/2 way through the 1st episode 1st episode I pulled the power cord and brought the L110 with me on a drive. That episode ended on the drive, and I started episode 2. Somewhere along the way the system shut down when the battery got low. Day 3: Everything went flawlessly. I played 2 different ~2 hour DVD images, one of them twice making about 6 hours of flawless playback. They were concert videos, and I actually paused playback several times. Now I didn't do any fast forwarding/reversing, navigating chapter and extra menus. It seems that's where I've run into playback problems in the past. But the only BSOD I've seen since you told me to set the screen resolution to 16 bit was when after doing that, I reinstalled and ran Margi. I've uninstalled and reinstalled it several more times since then, and everything has been working darned well. I was having a problem with my mouse, which was why I tried uninstalling Margi. But I'm sure the mouse problem was unrelated. My case is broken at the right hinge, and I think the ribbon cable is the source of the mouse problem, as I wiggled things and the problem went away. I'm also pretty sure that the colored vertical lines on the edge of the screen that Librettos are famous for are due to faulty connections through that ribbon cable.

That was it, but not before a bit of BSOD shock treatment. I reset that after I 1st read your post. But I immediately got the BSOD when the Margi player popped up. I didn't even try again for a cfew more days, remembering what you said about not being able to get Margi to work in W2K because of BSODs. The next time I slide the Margi card in, W2K couldn't find the driver and popped up a "New Hardware found" window. After getting that ironed out, Margi now does run pretty well at the 16 bit screen resolution. As long as I don't do too much in the way of pausing, fast forwarding or fast reversing video playback.. I can usually play a video through. But I do still get the BSOD from time to time. Did you say you can't play video at all, or can't play it for very long before having that problem? Funny beasts...
