Building/Upgrading a PC for TS2
Aggie:
I've got VLC, great. :) Edited to add, though, that the greenness seems to be sporadic. For instance, with this certain video, if I try to play only it, it turns green right away, but if I add a video after it, it plays just fine. It's the darndest thing. ???

ZoomPlayer
Use overlay mixer as video output renderer - Overlay mixer is used as the default renderer for several reasons, compatibility being one of the foremost. VMR7 is only available on Windows XP and VMR9 is horribly buggy (jagged edges and extreme smoothing are common problems). The VMR7 renderless and all VMR9 modes have a tendency to make the video look distinctly greenish, especially on nVidia video cards. The overlay mixer should be the most accurate renderer - it shows you what the video really looks like. So for both compatibility and quality, we use overlay. If, however, you have issues using overlay, try the VMR7 windowed mode.

MPC
Use overlay mixer as video output renderer - See the same entry for ZoomPlayer above.
Since MPC is essentially the same thing as Windows Media Player when it comes to video, VMR9 is probably where the problems are coming from in that case. Don't know about VLC having that problem, it shouldn't even use VMR since it's not a DirectShow player.

Just a wild guess, but easy enough to check out. You might try checking to see that the cables are firmly seated. My monitor goes off color unless I have the monitor cable very firmly plugged in at the back of the case. A loose connection somewhere could cause sporadic color changes.

Most of us read the article when it came out, and they make some valid points, but they also overlooked some things. The main one being vsync. The reason all the cards tested at the same frame rate is because of vsync. Turn it off with the cheat, and suddenly the more powerful cards getter better frame rates than the crap ones. They also never tested on the larger lots with more than 2 Sims, a party, etc.

Yes, but there's no real practical benefit to doing this, as you cannot physically see higher frame rates anyway.
