Odd graphic artifacts in RiffTrax Player

[Diane]

I've used the player before with no problems.  When I bought the Spiderman riff, it updated the player, and now things aren't working quite so well.  The audio works fine all of the time.  For a while, the video works, too.  Periodically, though, it's as though the screen isn't being completely updated.  One frame stays in view and more or less random pixels change as the frame changes, leading to a very odd picture.  Then, suddenly, it'll clear up and things work fine again.

I'm running an HP Pavilion, 1.8G P4, 768MB RAM, WinXP SP3, Radeon 7000 AGP w/64MB (yes, I know the card sucks).

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hello-

It is by far the MB in the Video Card-
That is where the problem is - the only solution to that is not a good solution - which is try another card-
RiffTrax uses quite a bit of Memory and Ram - Default DVD in Windows eats up alot

That certainly seems possible.  It's odd that all of my old DVD players work fine, as did the first version of the Rifftrax player.  Not that it matters, but do you have any idea what was changed that it's suddenly eating so much RAM?

Hello-

Standard DVD rendering takes up about 120MB of system RAM and any additional filters/sources will also present more video ram-
The combination from system to system will vary
