How to open a kensington lock!

Actually that's a symptom of a codec problem with WMP.

DXVA = DirectX Video Acceleration

Essentially something is glitching up in the playback path for the video. Try diagnosing it with G-Spot ( http://gspot.headbands.com ) or some similar program that shows you the render path for a particular file.

Err... hold on, some links:

(but that didn't fix the problem for that guy)

Some discussion there.

Seems upgrading to WMP10 would fix it... that and the latest ATI drivers, it seems to be an ATI acceleration thing for certain Windows Media Codecs.

hmm, the picture for me was colour distorted & left a notepad file called dxva_sig.txt with a size of 0 bytes on my desktop!

Get Media Player Classic, it's very good and looks like MP6.4

Start -> Run -> mplayer2 -> ok!

No, Guru, MPC only looks like MP6.4, it's heaps better (and plays quicktime and real video too, if you have the codec on your system). Just try it out, it's really a nice little peace of software
