Flickering

**steve.ledger** · 14 March 2008, 02:04 AM

Firewall?
Meantime, rename your file.avi to file_avi.jpg and try again. We can rename it back to an .avi once we download it.

Okay, trying that...

nope.

Firewall enabled or disabled, no difference.

Bob you can try emailing it to me.

Here is the file that Bob (-=Drifter=-) was trying to attach.

Anyone have ideas as to what may be causing the flicker shown in the video?

**Soquili** · 14 March 2008, 02:54 AM

Bob what refresh rate are you running in your monitor settings?

For anyone that did not notice. I attached Bob's avi file to my previous post.

Thanks, Bill.

1. Why were you able to upload it and I wasn't?
2. I am using a refresh rate of 60. I changed it to 75 and the flickering seemed to increase, so went back to 60.

Bob I'm not sure why I could upload it an you could not. May simply have been a network traffic issue. You said the was a server disconnect error. That can occur when the server that TG in hosted on experiences a long time lag between packets. The upload is on a different data stream than you usual internet connection so you did not experience loss of browser connectivity.

I only used the question about refresh rate to bump the post up, it would effect all programs and not just Xtreme Pro. Silly me attached the file to a post that was already present and needed to bump the thread up.

When this happens, do all of the shapes on the canvas flicker like that, or only some/the ones you just drew?

It almost looks like some sort of weird double buffering problem where one buffer has the shape drawn and the other doesn't, and it sometimes uses the wrong one. I can't imagine how that could suddenly pop up, though.

Does the flicker still happen if you turn off video acceleration? If it does that might rule out any graphics card change that you made.

I haven't changed graphics cards recently, only Scotty did, so that rules that out on my end. Not sure about your other question, will play with it more tomorrow.

Hi,

I'm having that upload issue from time to time
I restart my router and it works again.

For the avi,don't see any flickering
I'm using the mediaplayer classic with k-lite codecs pack
found here http://www.free-codecs.com/download/...Codec_Pack.htm

I'm pretty sure that Drifter is referring to the circle shape momentarily disappearing and then reappearing when a change is made rather than a candle-like 'flicker' or like when a bulb is on the blink.
