VLC plays with reversed colors (negative)

Postby tosem » 02 Feb 2008 19:40

Whatever file I try to play, VLC plays with reversed colors (negative). All other players (Media Player, MV2Player) play with normal colors. I had ffdshow installed, I thought it somehow changed the colors, deinstalled it, deinstalled VLC as well, then reinstalled it - no luck. Tried deleting cache and preferences, unchecking video overlay and various other tweaks - no luck at all. :( I hope someone can help. Read quite a few themes on the forum, didn't find anything similar.
Thanks in advance! :wink:

I'm sorry, but could you be a little more specific? I'm not sure how to do that. If it's the one where you set it to "DirectX", for example, or OpenGL, I've done that, with no result. :cry:

Did you delete the preferences and cache fully by going to:
C:\Documents and Settings\(Your username)\Application Data

And deleting the "vlc" directory?

Have you tried changing the color quality from 16bid to 32bit this can be done in display properties. I had the same problem and this fixed it.
