I have tried everything suggested here serato.com
Tried new video card drivers, new and old versions of Quicktime, different video codecs etc.. Nothing fixes the problem. Last thing left for me to try is to do a HD format and start with a fresh/clean build.
PS the bars do not appear on all of my videos, but about half of them.

Hi DjayRage,


I would suggest forcing your machine to use Directshow as its default Decoder on a Windows MAchine.
You will find info on forcing Directshow and the registry script to do so here: serato.com ( It is in the Getting Started - How can I use QuickTime as the default decoder for Video-SL on Windows? ) The reg script to force Directshow is there also.

Have you downloaded and installed the recommended codecs from here:

We recommend using both of the following codecs for DirectShow for use with Video-SL:

* FFDShow www.free-codecs.com
* Haali Media Splitter (MatroskaSplitter) haali.su
Use the defaults when installing.
Note: If no codec is found, then QuickTime will be used to decode the video.

Give this a go and let me know how you get on and if you have any further questions.

Cheers,


Anthony
