Pixelated Video Playback

[l Ancient l]

Ok so heres the deal... When i play video files, it doesnt matter what format they are, avi, mkv so on, with VLC under Win7 (16385) the picture is pixelated (blocky/squarish), :unsure: WMP plays those good, but i prefer VLC...

I use KL mega pack 5, latest video driver and latest stable VLC...

If anyone knows what causes this and how to fix, please reply... thanx... :)

Hi dude,

Yes that is a known issues with VLC and Windows 7; If you do not want to install any other media player at this point and want to continue using VLC , go to preferences and change the Video Output Method to OpenGL; This will fix your pixelated video issue. BS.Player works great though.

VLC in default DirectX mode (pixelated)

VLC playback after changing video output mode to OpenGL (smooth)

Your settings should look like this:

In DirectX mode, when i start a video, aero closes and i get the vista basic theme. But when playing 720p video, i need to put it on directX mode, in openGL and GDI, it's low framerate

Have you tried BS.Player? You don't need to tweak anything and it works fine :) Thanks Microsoft for Windows Media Foundation heh :\
