Preview feature in Reauthorist

[jerschwab]

I always seem to have problems previewing VOBs in programs... including Reauthorist (also in ChopperXP, VobRator, etc.).

Anyone know how to fix this problem? Do I need to install something? I thought I had the latest stuff, but I guess I'm wrong. It's frustrating, but in RA it just crashes and closes the program.

BTW, I'm using Windows XP SP1.

Thanks!!

all of those I believe use DX... maybe check your DX version?

I've had problems where the preview is just black..try "shaking" the window a little - some have suggested upgrading your videocard drivers too

I had the same problem a while ago and "SHAKING" the RA appliation window should work.

I thten upgraded my video drivers (Radeon 8500)to the latest and this seems to have fixed it in RA for 99% of the time.

Cheers...

Yeah, I'll give that a shot... I have the latest DirectX drivers but haven't looked at upgrading the Radeon drivers in a while. By shaking do you mean "moving the window"??

[D3s7]

grab the window title bar.... hold your left mouse button and give it a good shake....

LOL...

Is that the software equivalent of whacking the machine or what?

:D

yep :D

thank MS for that one... works on most all apps using DX that have that issue :D

Ok, that works, I don't really care why but it works. :confused:

I wonder if the author of ReAuthorist knows whats up with this, this is an old thread and the program has had many updates since then.

you also might want to check your dates .... RA v1.0.0 was released on 3 June 2003
