Try a different video output module (Preferences -> (tab) Video -> Output modules -> (tick "Advanced options") "DirectX video output", save and restart VLC. If that video output module doesn't work for you then try the others and report which one you used that worked.

[CloudStalker]

Did you click on the plus/tab next to Video?

[pot]

yes but all i ahve in the video area is video tack then in that is disable and track 1 and then some other stuff but im not seeing what u are asking me to see

I think CloudStalker means to change the video Output Module in VLC's Preferences. To do this go to:
Settings >> Preferences... >> Video >> Output modules

And then tick the "Advanced options" tick box (bottom-right corner of Preferences). You should then see a drop down box - like this:



Start off by selecting the "DirectX video output" one (then click "Save" and open your video). If that doesn't improve the video quality - try other ones, such as "OpenGL video output" etc.

The blue/yellow vertical lines could be due to the No. video lines not being divisible by 16 (some video codecs have that problem - I don't know the details though).

Cheers, Arite.

Preferences/Video/All/Window decorations - deselect this, and it fixed mine. I know, its weird, but that's what happened.
My Camstudio was crashing when I clicked 'record' so I UNINSTALLED Camstudio, and VLC, then reinstalled the K-Lite_Codec_Pack_1095_Full.exe. The install found many codec errors which I allowed it to correct. Then reinstalled VLC and Camstudio. VLC works without the above fix now. Camstudio not so lucky it still crashes when I click 'record'.

I was specifying size=1980x1080 in the Command Line, but the Media screen showed the Aspect Ratio was defaulting to 4:3.
Changing to my correct Aspect Ratio of 16:9 corrected the vertical line problem.
I will add --aspect-ratio to always get the correct combo.
