Pixelation in Screen Caps from HQ video

[Terry]

I find that when making screen captures from 1080P video, I get a lot of pixelation in my images. I'm not very tech savvy, and know nothing about codecs, but I'm wondering if there's a setting that I can adjust in VLC to avoid this problem?

Try another video output module:

And/or disable/enable GPU acceleration:

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