I have some videos copied from TV that I captured with an ATI All In Wonder
Radeon video card. These were saved as MP2 video files. Never had any
problem with these files until today. Now when I play these files with
Windows Media Player or the ATI File Player, the aspect ratio is wrong -
picture is squeezed together - and the audio has a popping noise in it,
plus the audio and video are out of sync.

A few weeks back, I did copy these files to a data DVD to preserve them.
When I play any of these from the data DVD, I get the same results. BUT,
when I put the data DVD in another computer, the video plays fine. So I
tried copying some of the video files to a CD from my hard drive - same
thing, they play fine on another computer but are all messed up on mine. I
have no idea how to solve this problem but I can't help but think it is
something with the ATI captures codecs on my computer, if that is the
correct term to use.

As I said, this computer has an ATI All In Wonder Radeon video card.
Processor is a Pentium 4, 1.6, 384 ram, Windows XP Home with SP2.
 
The system did a Windows update yesterday morning and also installed some
ATI drivers. I thought that may have been the problem so I used system
restore to go back to 10/1 but it didn't make any difference. Maybe I
should uninstall the ATI drivers and re-install the old ones ????
