Very quick media player classic issue

[dimtim]

Ok so I have a few ripped dvds on my hard drive and when I play them out through my video card it shows blackness where the picture should be on my tv. I know this is a problem with the video acceleration, because I already went through this with Windows Media Player 10. Now my question is how do I turn down the acceleration in Media player classic?

Thanks a lot

Try this: In Windows XP---Right click on your desktop, choose properties, then settings, then advanced, then troubleshooting. Turn down your hardware acceleration to level 3 (disable all 3D and Direct Draw accelerations).

Thanks a lot.. and that did work but am I sacrificing anything else by turning down the acceleration that much? Also, is there anyway to do this in the software itself rather than have it affect windows XP totally?

Thanks for the solution
