best dvd player streaming image

My new laptop is doing this thing to any videos, like youtube or megavideo, that makes them all green, pixelly, and just plain hard to watch. It doesn't change any other movies I have, like on my hard drive or in the dvd player, just streaming videos. Any tips to fix it?

Answer
Kindly follow the steps and see if it solves your problem :
===============================================
1.Browser Issues :
Update your Browser - whether you are using Internet Explorer, Firefox,.Chrome or any browser just go to their website and download the latest versions.First uninstall the older version and then install the newest versions.
===============================================
2.Website Issues
Many of the popular video streaming websites, including YouTube, use Adobe Flash Player. Confirm that your computer is using the latest version of Adobe Flash Player. To do this, go to the Adobe website and download the appropriate uninstaller for your computer. Once the current installation has been uninstalled, go back to the Adobe website and install the most recent version of the plugin.

===============================================
3.Firewall Issues
Firewalls may block streaming video ports. If you are having problems watching streaming videos via a desktop application such as Windows Media Player, and you normally have to use an proxy server to gain Web access, you may have to enable your media player to also use the proxy server. This option can be found in the Options or Preferences menu of your particular media player.
===============================================
4.Internet Connection
The speed and stability of an Internet connection has a direct effect on the quality of streaming video. A slow connection will result in choppy video and audio, while an unstable Internet connection can result in video stopping suddenly. Try to view streaming video using only a fast connection such as broadband cable or DSL. If you are using a wireless broadband (Wi-Fi) connection, make sure you have a strong signal. Check your internet speed at - www.speedtest.net
========================================================================
5.Software Issues
Running out-of-date software can result in problems watching streaming video. Other common issues include buffering problems or acceleration problems. Consult your application's help file to learn how to update your media viewer to the latest version, and to learn how to adjust the buffer or video acceleration.
===============================================
6.Hardware Issues
The quality of your streaming video is dependent on the power of your graphics and sound cards. Older computers may not have robust enough video or sound cards to handle modern streaming video. If you have an older machine, try updating the drivers for your video and sound cards to ensure the best quality.
===============================================
7.Ad Blockers/Pop up blockers
Ad blockers, especially pop-up ad blockers, are public enemy number one. Turn them off and the videos may stream.
If you are using Chrome browser check if you have flash blocked extention installed.
===============================================
8.Antivirus Issues
Although less of a problem than ad blockers and firewalls, some overly protective anti-virus programs obstruct streaming video. If none of the earlier suggestions have worked for you, turn off your anti-virus programs and the videos might stream. This is perfectly safe.
========================================================================
9.TRY ALTERNATE PLAYER - Try alternate player to youtube - Flow Player (www.flowplayer.org)
it is very streamlined,fast and much better than the official youtube player. To watch Youtube through flow player click here to open up the youtube page and any video you click on will open with flow player - http://4.hidemyass.com/ip-1/encoded/Oi8vd3d3LnlvdXR1YmUuY29t&f=norefer.
===============================================
10.If Nothing works at all try downloading the Youtube videos to your computer from http://keepvid.com/ or download the software (which works with 900 video sites) from www.videoget.com.
===============================================
Hope this helps - Have a great day!

How come i cant play a video on my dvd player?

jess997

I have 4 glee episodes in MPEG4 format on my flashdrive and when i plug the flashdrive into the dvd player it doesent work. Does anyone know how to make it work or convert it to the windows media player format fast?

Answer
First of all you should read your DVD manual and I bet it will tell you it can only display .jpg pictures and perhaps standard def .AVI files. Thats it.

A DVD player is a standard def device. Why would they add software/circuits to it to let you play MP4 videos in HD? It is not a computer.

Look - your computer has 10-20 small pieces of software called "codex's". These software pieces plug in to handle .wmv, .mp3, .mp4, .rm, .mpg, .mkv, .avi, .flv, .. etc. About once per year you usually need to update these pieces of software.

But a DVD player is NOT a computer. It does not have a way to insert all these codex's or even let you upgrade things.

What you really need is a device called a "Media Server". It's a small box with a USB jack on one side and a HDMI jack on the other. Some of these run about $99, and other more expensive units have hard drives, network connections (to stream from your computer) and even wireless connections.

I have tried to burn things to DVD's before and it takes HOURS and sometimes there are issues with the sound being out of sync with the video, etc. A media server is a easier way to go.
