I just bought the sl-video with the ttm-57 and installed everything. When I try to load the video tab the sl-video plugins seems to load but then nothing happens only a empty grey area appear where normally the video output is suppose to be.

Heres my laptop specs :

Dell XPS gen2

Intel pentium M
2.13 Ghz
2.00Gb RAM
directX 9.0
win XP Pro
Service pack 2

Video card spec :

GeForce Go 6800 Ultra
video Bios : 5.41.02.36.a7
IRQ:16
BUS: PCI Express x16
Memory:256 Mo
Forceware:78.51
encoder TV : integrated


If someone have any clue about that issue please reply

thx

Can you post the output of "movieBatchInfo" on one of your video files? You can find the application in the articles section.

what format are your video files? you may also check for different video driver versions.

I think your computer isn't up to system requirements tho.
Even though you have a 2.13ghz cpu, it's Pentium M.
The Pentium M series is much slower than the Core/Core Duo series.
I have a Core 2 Duo 2ghz, and the CPU is constantly run 80-100% and I still have slight dropouts when using Windows XP (OSX fixed this). I can bet money that you won't be able to run dvd quality mp4 videos at medium/high quality. You might be able to run 320x240 videos at low quality, but what's the point of that?

i'm pretty sure it's a driver issue then. i had that problem with a different driver version. you can also try the new beta.

that will fix that issue, but i still think your computer is too slow. geforce 6800 isn't that good of a card compared to todays standards.

well either way u can't use a computer that does not meet minimum spec and expect it to work.
