NVIDIA Quadro DVD poor quality image

Hello Guys. I need your help again.

I do not watch that often DVDs on my laptop but this is an option I like to have especially during long trips with my family. I used to watch DVDs on my 6 years old Compaq laptop and I can tell you the quality of the image was really superior on my old Compaq compared to my one week old ThinkPad (NVIDIA Quadro NVS 140 M).

Am I doing something wrong? How is possible that the quality of the image of my new laptop is so poor compared with my so old previous laptop?

Thank you for your feedback.

 

You have the drivers installed for that thing?

 

There is no problem watching DVDs with the 140M, like you said even 6 year old video cards can handle DVDs. The problem lies elsewhere.. like adinu said, make drivers are installed for the 140M, if they are, reinstall them anyway. You can find them at Lenovo.com.

 

It depends on the resolution. I think your laptop either has the 1280x800 or 1440x900 native resolution. Most DVDs are only 480p so their optimal viewing size will be small. I recommend watching 720p (HDDVD) videos as they'll look a lot better on your computer. Click on the following link: http://www.stage6.com/videos/search:720p

 

I have the t61 with 140M too, the DVD picture looks so bad, it seems the face of the people in the DVD movie is over exposure. I tried to adjust the DVD in Nvidia control panel, it did not help, I load my Power DVD player, it does the same. I did all the updated of windows from MS and from Levono, I dont think I updated the Video card driver but my T43 play the same DVD disc perfectly(ATI X300). My other t61p-570M plays that same DVD music movie ok, and I did not have to do any updated. I think T61_140M has something wrong with paying DVD movie and T61p_540M has 3D graphic games problem with 4G(2gx2).
The t61_140m(2g+1g) plays 3D bitpro test no prolem, but play DVD so poorly
The t61p_570m(2g+2g) wont do any 3D bitpro test with the resolution above 640X400. But it play DVD ok, picture looks ok, not that perfectly like my t43.
sorry, I may have gone off the topic. Any one else has T61_140M with the DVD picture so poor like that. I just got my t61 for a week. Planing to return it.

 

did not work.

 

You have to have the divx codec. Did you install that?

 

I have a similar problem, T61p with NVIDIA Quadro FX 570M, DVD playback quality is really poor.

Using PowerDVD, so that should not be the problem. I have WUXGA (1920x1200) resolution, but it also looks really bad on my 1024x768 projector.

Any advice here? I like to watch movies and it sucks big time, my old t42p was so much better.
