DVD 7.7 and Catalyst drivers still have subtitle problems!

Whenever I turn subtitles on in DVD 7.7, the gamma just goes up. And when the subtitles are gone, it returns to it's normal color.

This was also the issue with DVD 7.6. My solution was using a very old driver and all was normal with it. Frankly I'm a bit dissapointed that ATI didn't solve this one.

I mean come on, a new driver AND a updated DVD Player.......

I still zhave the same problem with PowerDVD XP 4.0. If HW accel is enabled I get no subtitles.

Hi,

Same problem since 9023 drivers for me. The 'newest' driver that did not give me this problem is 9021.

I managed to overcome this by using the 9021 setup.exe and overwriting the files in ATi drive with the 9039's. Hybrid installed well and my System reports the driver as 9039. PQ is good though I can't comment vs. actual 9039's. This is with DVD playback, I do not play games with my setup. I have the tabs in Display but of course I lose some of the 9039's functionality.

Regards.
 
Soloexceptional, I AM using DVD 7.7 and still having the problem.

Same here. Even "built-in" subtitles aren't displayed. Example: Episode I has subtitles to help understand what some aliens are saying. With the Catalyst drivers, even those subtitles won't be displayed, making hardware acceleration useless.

I honestly wonder why something like this hasn't been fixed already. It's not as if Radeon's DVD abilities weren't hyped, after all.

i noticed the problem with the gamma shooting up with subtitles in DVD 7.7 last night. it's annoying. i did a driver feedback thing on ati's site ...

anyhow i did a little experimenting. if you use zoom player with the cinemaster/ravisent decoder (the one ati dvd player uses) and hardware acceleration enabled, you still get the gamma problems with subtitles. when i tried it in windvd 2.something (it came with my dvd drive awhile back) with hardware motion compensation enabled, the subtitles looked fine -- but the cpu usage meter in task manager shot up toward 100% when there was a subtitle on the screen. all other times it was around 30%. ati dvd hovered between 5 - 25% all the time.

not sure if any of that means anything useful, but just thought i'd throw it out there.
