ok my question is that i download bbs cutscenes. on my windows 7 computer it makes it videos look sharper but on my friends comuter its not the same its smoother so anyone know how to get it to look like my friends (note friends has a windows vista and ) oh and also same cutscene just the quality is different (and i mean SAME CUTSCENE) so to sum it up anyone know how i could get same quality (and its just the bbs cutscenes)

If the same file acts differently depending on which computer you play it on, then it has to do with your computer.. it's not a problem with us or anything. You should try reinstalling your video codecs. I would recommend the K-Lite codec package, using Media Player Classic.

what version of K-Lite Codec Pack should i got because i can see there are three there is basic, standard and full which do you recommend and also will it make any major changes to my compuer? because i like everything else it's only the bbs cutscenes

[DChiuch 5,773]

It explains what the different versions have on the download screen, idk why you're asking me... it's really up to you which version you want.

 

And the BBS cutscenes have exactly the same codec as everything else, which is WMV v9 I believe. So no, you're wrong, the BBS cutscenes aren't any different.

1. thanks

2. with in your last post how you said "And the BBS cutscenes have exactly the same codec as everything else, which is WMV v9 I believe. So no, you're wrong, the BBS cutscenes aren't any different." i knew the cutscenes are not any different i was just thinking its strange that the quality is different on my computer

3. thanks again

@2

You said that "it's only the bbs cutscenes", and I'm saying, that can't be true, since all of the videos from this site use the same codec.

His video card might be outdated or be a pretty bad one.

ok the K-Lite Codec didnt work and with sora96 saying about my video card it might be that but the thing is when i watch the cutscenes on youtube it's like how they are on other computers and my i pod. so im trying to think what those older computers and my i pod have the my laptop (which i haven't had for even one year) doesn't.

What you said though would happen.

I've used a out updated video card before, and that happens videos are fine on Youtube, but when you view something like in full screen or almost full screen like WMP, VLC, Divx etc. It looks pretty bad.

 

So yeah its your video card.

 

What Company makes your computer? Lenovo? Toshiba? etc.

There might be a System update program that came pre installed when you got your computer, that should update it.

 

For example, mine is a Lenovo laptop, running Windows 7 Professional 64 Bit version. Lenovo has a System update program, that searches for updates and then gives you the option to download them.

 

It should provide updates to your video card, it does for me.

 

Other computer brands also have System update programs, but not all.

 

If you installed via Windows disc then you wont have one, since the disc only installs Windows 7 not your computer designers software.

as you asked what company made my laptop my answer is toshiba and where should the update thing be on my laptop?

[Sora96 17,256]

Search your computer, in like the start menu search, or another search method.

And type System Update. It should come up with a System Update program.

i havnt found on my laptop system updates i have windows updates i've installed all of them and still the same (with my laptop it had windows 7 pre installed)

[Sora96 17,256]

You might not have a System update program on your laptop, or you might have un installed it.

Regardless its your video card.

Go to the place you got it and ask about it.

[kh roxas 969 0]

what should i uninstall and how do i install a new one

[Sora96 17,256]

I said you might have un installed it.

Just go to the place you got it, or if you know anyone who knows a lot about computers ask them.

[kh roxas 969 0]

i dont think i uninstalled it

[Sora96 17,256]

Okay, but you'll need to see the place you got it from. Or someone who knows a lot about computers.

It's the Video card, and chances are you will need a new one.

[kh roxas 969 0]

ok on my laptop im in device manager so should the video card thing be in there?

[Sora96 17,256]

Sorry, I wouldn't know.

As I said you will need to ask someone who knows about Video Cards to help you, possibly get a new one.
