Videos Are Black After Playing A Game

Postby 2-D » 08 Sep 2007 09:27

Whenever i play a game, like Counterstrike Source, after i exit it out, and i go to play a video, any video, it is just black, with audio.

If i restart my computer, it goes back to normal.

I would like it better if i wouldn't have to restart my computer every time I'd like to watch a movie and/or show, because i play counterstrike:source a lot.

I unchecked "Overlay video output"

Still black.

My display adapters are updated.

Ah, theres a drop down menu.

After trying all of them, OpenGL works, thanks.

In that case I would suggest that you update your video card drivers and DirectX drivers. OpenGL isn't really the best for video quality but "DirectX video output" should be better.
