Playback Questions
Q: Why does my AC-3 audio sometimes pause or pop when I’m
playing movies?
A: Windows 95 supports background processes, which are small
software programs designed to improve performance of certain
applications or perform other functions without requiring you to
manually launch them. These background processes can
sometimes interfere with continuous processes such as playing
audio and/or video which have specific requirements for sustained
data rates. These applications should be disabled whenever
possible. Examples include screen-savers, anti-virus software, fax
receive and answering machine software, Microsoft’s Office95 Fast
Find, etc.
Q: When using Windows 95 MediaPlayer to play standard
MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 video files, I sometimes get thin, hazy
lines along the left and bottom edges of the video display; why?
A: Most MPEG-1 and standard MPEG-2 content is not as carefully
produced as DVD titles, and it is possible for these thin, hazy areas
to appear at the extreme edges of the video content when played
back. This effect should never be visible on professionally
mastered DVD content.
Q: Why can’t I play encrypted (*.vob) files with MediaPlayer?
A: Media Player does not initiate the Authentication process necessary
for an encrypted DVD stream to be decrypted. Attempts to play
these encrypted files (with .VOB extensions) will result in no video
played. The authentication process is initiated in DVD Player,
which should be used to play all encrypted content.
