I'm using XBMC to play back MKV files with embedded subs (and also external ass & srt files) and they seem to appear all over the screen (Top, left, right, bottom of screen). They seem to be squeezed and flattened as well, making them unreadable. Any idea whats going on? I have already reformatted my XP machine but still same problem.

OS: Windows XP Pro 32 bit
XBMC version : 10.0
Shark codec installed. Tried k-lite but same problem.

Tried the video file in MPC and VLC, no problem.

I face no problem in using XBMC with my win7 notebook though. It plays beautifully on it.

And XBMC always freezes when I try to search at network drives (SMB).

Any ideas?

How long have you been using it on win xp?

A few weeks already, still having that problem. Will it help if I remove shark's codec and install K-lite?

XBMC works fine on my Win 7 notebook, having this problem in my win XP notebook (which I turn it into a temp HTPC for now).

Anyway attached is the screenshot of my problem.

In case you're wondering I already tried video calibration.
