High Def Problems

Merged the two threads.

As for your problem....that's really fucked up.

So I have a modded XBOX, and use an HDTV and haven't seen this issue.  I'd like to know what happens when you take your XBOX and connect it to a different HDTV (like in the store) and if you still see the problem.

It really sounds like the video chip is fried but since you've found consistencies across modded vs. unmodded XBOXs I guess that cannot be it.

Also, if it becomes distored in 480p mode, but your DVD player doesn't....are you connecting them (the XBOX and the DVD player) to the same inputs?  Many HDTVs only allow 480p on specific inputs and expect a different signal on other component inputs.

okay now i have come across something that i hadnt found before, iguess that when halo 2 came out it had some sort of bug in the program that causes a problem with the 480p in high def,
Well, not really.  It just didn't send a signal that it was 16:9 format, which many HDTVs (i.e. Sonys) ignore anyway.  So HDTVs that auto set the aspect ratio on 480p didn't auto set the aspect ratio.  A bug yes....a big deal...no.

could this also be affecting my other games
No, it's only specific to Halo 2.

and is there a way to fix this bug in the game without the live download?
doubtful.  Was there even a Live download fix?

i will see about getting the newest version of avalaunch.

also noticed last night when i turn 1080i off in the options menu in avalaunch and i rebooted in to 480p mode the menu screen became distorted like the games do in 480p, i dont see this distortion when the dash is in 1080i mode. just incase you might think that its the progressive scan in the tv my dvd player play perfectly in 480p and so do nonmodded xbox's.


Are you connecting the DVD player and the XBOX to the same inputs on the TV?  Some HDTVs fix the resolution to specific inputs (i.e. a 1080i only input, a 480i only input, etc.)
