VLC Player

Post by unforgiven »

Hi All,

When I start VLC Player and open a media (DVD Video or a Movie) to run, the screen becomes green coloured when the menu disappears and stays green.

Any Solutions?


Thanks in advance

It usually appears at motion menus for me, I don't know any solutions though... just switching to Powerdvd in that case.

VLC doesn't need codecs, it decodes itself. Try to plays with the video preferences: overlay, hardware rgb/yuv conversion or more probably the video output module (or whatever it's called in english): yuv, gdi, opengl, direct3d,...
