Video/DVD: Video or Display Problems or Errors
Problem
My DVD will not play.
My DVD is vertically
stretched.
My image and video
display is a poor
quality.
Possible solution
You can put data files on a DVD to store them or transfer them to
another PC. However, data files on a DVD do not play in a DVD player.
Re-record your files to a file format that can be read by DVD players.
If your DVD playback is vertically stretched in Media Center, stop
playback and eject the disc. Reinsert the DVD and try to play it again.
Or
Click Start on the taskbar, choose All Programs, InterVideo
WinDVD, InterVideo WinDVD Player, and then click
InterVideo WinDVD to play the DVD.
For the best image and video quality on fixed-pixel displays (LCDs),
Windows desktop resolution should always be set to the original
resolution of the panel. Media Center requires more video memory at
higher resolutions and may not function reliably if there is not enough.
Media Center displays a message if there is not enough RAM to
support the current resolution.
