Posted a bug or a newbie question some time ago that I couldn't play mpeg2 (using the mpeg plugin). I have finally figured it out. I'm using AMD dual processors on a server motherboard. When the graphics card (NVIDIA GPU) is plugged into a PCI slot connected to the second CPU MPEG2 doesn't play... plug it into a PCI slot connected to the first CPU mpeg2 plays fine. All other formats play whichever port the card is plugged into.
An interesting bug for you guys to look at! |

Uhh... I think the MPEG-2 plugin only uses the CPU, so I can't think of a reason why the video card would affect it, unless it was a display problem.

Same here.
You might try experimenting with different Decompression and Output formats in the "Video / Color Depth" menu. If Autoselect is chosen, the default for most MPEG video is "4:2:0 planar YCbCr (YV12)".
This just affects the raw data which the plugin returns to VirtualDub, but where it goes from there I don't know. Maybe he tries to hit the GPU directly at some level for some formats. That's about all I can think of...
