It used to be that mpeg-1 files I play on media player 8 (bundled with WinXP) plays true. But when I upgraded to media player 9, I noticed a gradual degradation of the mpeg1 files as they were playing. First, the movie looked squished, then later, there's a vertical artifact that distorts the left side of the movie. However, when i play the file using Real Player, there is no problem.

Any of you guys know a fix for this problem on Media Player 9?

Thanks.
