Playback problem on TV when movement

[Zacron]

PLEASE HELP. I´m going crazy really soon. Can´t figure this out.

I´ve got a RADEON 9000 graphic card, 1700 MHz Celeron and a Panasonic widescreen 100hz TV. The picture I get when I playback video on the TV is fine (no jerkystuff and the sound is fine) but whenever the camera pans or something moves by (cars, people, etc.) I get these irritating lines behind the moving object. It´s like the TV can´t update the picture fast enough and is a little behind with some of the lines.

As far as I can see the picture looks fine on the computer monitor.

Hope someone can help.
Thanx.

How are you capturing, converting etc? VCD, DVD, SVCD?

[Zacron]

Ups, sorry. Forgot to tell that I´m using Media Player and it´s all formats that´s a problem (DivX, Xvid, MPEG2). I´m not converting or compressing, just decompressing (playing).

are you on an NTSC TV system? i found with my custom TIVO set in NTSC mode that if i watch a 23.976 fps movie (such as DIVX is usually found) then i get these artifacts because the image is not teleclined. (converted to 29.97 fps, the NTSC TV standard)

No, I´ve got a PAL TV system. Just call me a newbie (cause I am) but what is TIVO?

ah, you're pal. ok, check the files you are playing, they need to be 25fps to play smoothly. open one up in media player and click view - statistics. it will tell you the framerate. like i say, through a TV out anything other than 25fps will cause a problem on a PAL tv.
TIVO is that silver box thingummy that lets you pause live TV and record stuff to watch later. i have a mini pc for this, complete with TV out and dvd-burner.
