Preview Window Malfunction

[Gavilan22]

I just started using DVDFab 6.2.0.5

I can't get the preview window to work. It only gives me black screen when I click the play button, I've tried with a DVD in the drive and with video files on the hard drive. I'm using Windows XP.

Any ideas?

Are you sure you are selecting a title that actually has video, i.e. the main movie

That's odd because the preview has not worked for me for a long time, but now DOES finally work with 6.2.0.5

Have you tried changing the setting for the preview (Settings, General, Preview)?

Try setting it to the DVD Fab decoders and Internal instead of DirectShow.

This was addressed in another thread, but don't remember which one, something about directx. Preview window in directshow mode using the dvdfab decoder, does not work, so I disabled 3D acceleration in directx. The preview chapter slider now slides thru the chapters without showing anything in the preview window, all other decoders in my list work fine with the preview window. This is in DirectShow mode, the internal mode works fine.
I keep all my notes so try the above, also I got rid of all the codec packs which seemed to work.
