There are several possible causes for this.

1. Your PC is upside down.

2. Your monitor is upside down.

3. You are upside down

4. You are watching an Australian channel.

5. The bloke on the screen is the World Head-Stand Telephonist champion

Hope this helps.

its something to do with the codec installed for hd as if i play around and select ffdshow video decoder then its fine but when coreavc codec is selected as the video decoder then the picture is upside down

just want to sort it out incase the football is on there on wednesday

McLaren no doubt wishes that they could win the game stood on their heads, but I wouldn't bank on it - so you may need to get it sorted.

Just a bit of light hearted banter wod, no offense intended mate. Maybe I'll have some more medication.

Never seen this before. Have you tried asking on the coreavc forum? That has to be where your problem lies surely.

Good luck, and it would be interesting to hear the solution.

I can't find any other mention of this problem when doing a search for coreavc codec installed for h264 so perhaps you should also investigate other possibilities.
I have seen mention of upside down pictures to do with HD televisions one reply was:
"OK this would denote that somehow your deflection (verticle) has been switched. I would have to see what the service documentation has to say about this, if you can contact the manufacture and get the service documents I or someone else can actually help with this problem. It is actually a simple problem but the service documentation will show how to correct it properly."
You could try looking for updated drivers for your graphics card and check your cable, are you running the picture to an external HD TV or your monitor?
Also found one reply to do with a laptop suffering from an upside down picture but I can't see this one applying
"If you would rather not stand on your head or turn the monitor upside down, try an CTL+ALT+UpArrow key combination on your keyboard. From what I have read, this a display feature for tablet PCs that some video controller chip manufacturers include in non tablet desktop video controllers."
Maybe a thorough search on google for upside down HD pictures might provide a solution.
Please keep us updated as it sounds a fascinating problem.
