Problem viewing videos from Canon camera

[Bob_Swede]

Whenever I view videos created on my Canon IXUS 230HS in VLC there are lots of square disturbances and short stops in the view.
Other videos, like those created on my Samsung Galaxy S2 and other sources play just fine.
I have noted this on several versions of VLC so I think it is a basic flaw of something in VLC.
I am using VLC on a powerful HP workstation laptop (Elitebook 8560w) with SSD disk, Intel Core i7 CPU and 8GB memory, so I don't think my hardware is to blame for any problems...

What can I do to fix this?

Try another video output module:

And/or disable/enable GPU acceleration:

And/or adjust FFmpeg threads:

You can also try to enable or disable some video options such as Overlay and/or Hardware YUV -> RGB conversions.

Thanks!
I tried the video output module thing but there was no DirectX 3D setting. Tried a few similar ones but the error persisted.
Then I tried the GPU acceleration setting and it was not enabled so I checked it and this solved the display problem!
