Vista and DivX Player
by Mark on Oct.10, 2006, under general
Besides playing with iTunes, I have also been playing with the DivX Player on Windows Vista. One of the most annoying things about using the DivX Player on Vista RC1 is that the window flickers while playing a video. The video will appear just fine, but the UI will flicker around the video. The controls of the UI still work just fine, but you have to keep track of them as they flicker on and off.
The only solution I have found, and it is more of a workaround than a solution, is to turn off Aero and use the Windows Classic GUI. This will turn off all of the eye candy, drawing windows in the dull and drab gray with blue title bars and *gasp* normal window control buttons. With the classic GUI, the DivX Player operates normally. I am waiting to see if this workaround also fixes my UI problems with iTunes.
Update: The latest versions of the DivX Player do not suffer from the abovementioned GUI issues. Vista automatically removes transparency from my Desktop when I open the DivX Player.
