Getting purple flashes when playing most HD WMV files
#1
I have ripped most of my Blu-ray collection into WMV files using MS Expression Encoder so I could play them on my Xbox 360. Since I've moved to using my XBMC on my HTPC, I get a strange purple flashing in most (but not all) of my HD WMV files. When I play them in VLC, I get normal playback.

I have a few Blurays that I have in H.264 MKV and I don't get this problem. I have encoded a number of DVDs in both H.264 and WMV and I don't get this problem.

Does anyone know what the problem is or how/if it can be fixed. I'm willing to reencode my movies, but I'd rather not have to.

Hi,
I'm also getting this 'purple flashes' problem but not only in wmv files but also all of my mkv files as well. This happens after I change my video card from gt220 to gt430. I also notice the 'purple flashes' only appears when my mouse cursor were hovering over the bottom gui (the 'play', 'pause', 'stop', etc. buttons)
My system
AMD Athlon X2 dual core 5200
4gb DDR2 RAM
Windows 7 32 bit
NVIDIA GT430 1gb DDR3
XBMC v11.0 eden
AVR Yamaha RXV-467
Optoma 720p DLP projector

Please help..
