Video Playback issues with hardware acceleration

[BIGGRIMTIM]

I am having an issue trying to playback videos. Anytime hardware acceleration is used the screen is either green or black, depending which app I use for playback. I am using the latest ATI drivers 10.6 and the latest drivers for all other hardware. I need the acceleration because I am on an Intel Atom. I am unable to access the hardware acceleration settings from the display properties. I have performed a clean install of windows 7 pro 3 times now. I am not sure what to do. Please help!

Thanks.

System: Asus Eee EB1006
CPU: Intel Atom N270
RAM: 2GB
HDD: 160GB
OS: Win 7 Pro
GPU: Mobility HD4530

Re-installing win 7 obviously isnt going to fix it. We need your system specs to help. Please fill them in (lower right corner of your posts)

Hello tim welcome to Windows 7 support forums,
what are you wanting to playback?
what program are you using?

Well I am trying to use YouTube, I also use media browser to mount DVD .ISO files and various .avi and .mkv files. The .avi will play as they don't use hardware acceleration. Anything that uses the acceleration will play but the screen is green in Arcsoft TMT3. In Media Center the screen is black. I can hear the audio just fine, so I know the files are fine.

That system should make use of the HW acceleration and provide a smooth HD video playback (most notably those encoded with H.264 standard).
What video player are you using? Have you tried other Video Players?

I also have an ATI video card and the MPC-HC makes use of DXVA (DirectX Video Acceleration) to produce a smooth playback.

I have tried windows Media Player, Media Center, Arcsoft TMT3, VLC. I mainly would like to use Media Center because I am using a remote. The hardware acceleration is working but I dont see the video, I only get audio. I even went to YouTube and get the same problem. I have 3 other machine all using ATI GPUs and have no issues.

Have you installed the latest chipset drivers for your motherboard? If you have not, that could very well be the issue.

 

[BIGGRIMTIM]

I installed the drivers from the Asus website. I was unable to find a newer driver on the Intel website, but still no luck.

Hm, I wonder if somehow the system is using the integrated graphics chipset instead of the ATI card. I believe that laptop has the Intel 945GSE Express chipset with an integrated graphics chip. If that is the case, maybe try going into the bios and disabling the integrated chip and see if that helps/works?

Sorry, I'm really grasping at straws here but hopefully something will work or at least spark an idea for one that does.

No dice there, no integrated graphics in the bios settings.

Does your ATI Control Panel allow you to choose between the two?

Not as far as I know. I don't see an option in the Catalyst Control Center.

Does it only have problems playing 1080p flash, or also 1080p and/or 720p locally-stored videos?

 

[BIGGRIMTIM]

It has trouble playing anything that tries to use the GPU for acceleration. DVD, Mpeg, Live TV from my HDHomerun, Blu-Ray, Flash of any resolution just to name a few. I contacted ATI and they told me to go back to Windows XP. Not happy to hear that as i use windows Media Center very heavily.

 

[FliGi7]

Well, as I'm sure you're finding out, this is certainly not the best machine to try to use as a HTPC or something of the like. It is very hit or miss on whether or not people have gotten it to work with HD movies (streaming or not).

Not sure what to do at this point very disappointed.
