Game screen upside down

[kosmiq]

Well while taking a look at the ace mega codecs pack it seems to be a lot of matrox codecs included in it.

A good advice would be to generally stay away from codec packs and go for FFDShow instead (much better IMO and less cluttering). Then it may need some extra's depending on videoformats etc. Like quicktime and realplayer formats, in that case there are great alternatives like RealAlternative and QuicktimeAlternative. All free and very useful IMO. Might be worth checking out..

Hope you can solve the problem!

Thank you kosmiq, I will take your advice and uninstall the ace codec pack and get FFDShow. Will report back with the results !!!

ffdshow causes weird problems, too: upside down picture and/or picture consisting of only green stripes as some kind of weird static! Use GSpot to determine the codecs of the AVI file you're having problems playing. Tell us and we'll recommend you a specific codec, instead of ffdshow.

never had a single problem with FFDShow ever, you must've used an old version. Heck even the latest alpha works great!

Yes, I gave up using FFDShow - because of those problems - completely about two or three years ago...
