Hi, I don't usually play the 2 intro's but if I do it just appears as though it just has 16 colours, plays in Windows Media player but in game, must be missing a codec, could someone point me to where I can download please?:D
I have divX codec, as well as the Windows media player 9 codec installed from the SH3 disk.
Many thanks.

I had the same issue. Upgrade to Windows Media Player 10, that sorted it for me.

Trouble with that is that it's not reversable, once installed your stuck with it!:-?
But thanks.

Disable Windows Media Video Acceleration in your video-driver.

Excellent Anvart, that did the trick.:up: This leads me to another 2 questions, will this slow down or have some bad effect elsewhere? and if so would downloading a new codec fix this? :D
Thanks All.

Apparently 'Windows Media Video Acceleration' uses your graphics hardware to improve WMV-encoded video playback - which is recommended, but I suppose not necessarily essential. As mentioned before, I upgraded to Windows Media Player 10 which cured the problem you raised without having to tweak video card settings.

Hmm, I may have to considder it Captain Nemo, I worry if things like unticking the acceleration would effect playing DVD's etc, obviously version 10 has the proper codec.:D
Many thanks.:up:

I have not seen decrease in speed.
It is bug SH3 playback only (coding-decoding).
Try.
