hey just recently got my w3j yay!! i'm having problems with dvd playback using VLC. it would usually spike/stuttering (seeing lines across the screen) here and there. its really annoying and i tried changing profiles but its still there. do you think its the graphic card? or maybe i need new drivers? btw i'm using the driver that came with the laptop

-
ok i tried reinstalling drivers, new programm (media player classic and windvd pro 7) still doesn't work!!!
-
maybe its the DVD? did u try others?
-
yep, i also tried backing up the image to my HDD.
-
any other suggestions? do you think bios upgrade might fix it?

Doode: Hey! I´m still waiting for my W3J (as it´s on backorder), so I´ve been doing a lot of lurking in this forum. I´ve read that the BIOS update fixes a lot of things, including the bay battery problem, but I don´t think I´ve read anything about the DVD playback issue. Generally, it´s a good thing to have the latest BIOS.
Take a look at the post here: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showpost.php?p=1464431&postcount=424
Seems that other people solved the DVD playback issue by reformatting.
Until someone more knowledgable comes along, I hope that helps. -
hey thanks achufong for that info, i might reformat today when i have the chance and ill report back what happens. i hope your w3j is a okay!
-
ok for starters, bios upgrade doesn't work. ahh lets try format, dang all my files.
-
Dood: If you really need to save your files, just drop your files onto a pendrive, sd card, gmail, etc. That´s what I do when I reformat
Hope this gets to you before you do it.
Btw, my W3J isn´t here yet... out of stock, so it looks like I´ll be doing all the things you´re doing on 9 de Augusto. Really excited for it for some reason. -
okay i have tried upgrading bios and no worky so i reformated and guess what it worked!!! then i installed everything slowly i found my problem!! drum rolls: Splendid Video Enhancement Technology my ass!! i think asus needs to upgrade that splendid program or my graphic card is just bad but it works perfectly without it. does anyone know what splendid actually do and do i need it? when i was using it, it was also on normal anyways.
-
Doode: No clue what Splendid does and there´s little mention on it within the forums. Personally, I´d just uninstall it and forget about it. Then again, I´ll probably also OC my W3J when it gets here... Just eight more days or so...
