The VideoLAN Forums

I am always getting the grey screen when I start a video.

Dell Inspiron 15 7000 series. I checked for updates. VLC says I have the latest version. I find it rather annoying. its not even the first frame. I start the video its clear and then I get the grey screen a few seconds in to the video clip.

I really don't know much about 64bit software vs 32bit software. as far as windows goes I know 32bit windows was limited to 3GB of Memory and if you upgraded your OS to 64bit you could add more ram. I downloaded 64bit versions of other software and dont notice a difference. I have a 64bit version of...

I can't figure it it out. when I chose open file instead of using the right click open with I had audio. then I tried the open with way and still had audio. I think I closed and reopened the program not sure if that is what fixed the audio.

I haven't used my desktop in a while. I thought I would play some videos and my favorite media player is VLC but no matter the video I get no audio. I recent preferences but I didn't change anything still no sound. I also tried reinstalling the player also didn't work. if I don't right click and say...

What is the Link you've posted is that supposed to allow me to do what I want or is that someone else requesting it.

Today I opened up a Audio file because I knew that VLC could make music play Faster. I tired both Fast and Faster and the Music Sped up without sounding like a chipmunk I know that is what Most people want but I would like to Entertain my 3 year old Nephew by playing his favorite turns as Alvin and ...

Is GPU Decoding still Experimental? I am trying to figure out why every video I play using VLC starts out with black blocky artifacts. Only noticed it Today. so I am trying the GPU accelerated decoding. "Video Quality Post-Processing Level" not sure what this means but its at 6 I didn't pu...

Not sure if I did it correctly but I reported this on the BUG website

Video Auto Scaling is Required because my Monitor isn't 1080P I have a Square CRT Monitor set at 1280x1024. Video Auto Scaling Resizes the 1080P video to Fit to the size of VLC in FULL Screen which gives me the normal Letter Box which I do not mind one bit I do alot of video downloading I have lots ...

I am somebody who doesn't like VLC to Auto Scale my Videos to Full Screen since it makes low resolution videos look bad. Tools -> Preferences -> ALL -> VIDEO -> uncheck Video Auto Scaling. Now play a Video which is HD and the video will not display Correctly. I have the 1080P Big Buck Bunny Video wh...

I have two topics that can be merged because they are related "MP4 1080P Video Not Displaying Correctly" This is the Title of another Thread by Me gohanrage When ever Auto Video Scaling is unchecked it screws up the way 1080P videos display. it makes 1 Quarter of the video on the right of ...

when I enable GPU acceleration decoding I get these in my debug Log main debug: picture might be displayed late (missing 4 ms) main debug: picture might be displayed late (missing 4 ms) main debug: picture might be displayed late (missing 0 ms) main debug: picture might be displayed late (missing 1 ...

ATi has had some very neat post processing effects that are cool. Like taking a totally pixelated video and turning it into an actual decent looking video. this is my first non ATi GPU

But that is during streaming

How do you know if GPU acceleration decoding is actually working? I have an Nvidia GPU a GeForce 9800 GT. I am always checking to see if a new driver is available I have the latest one. Nvidia recommends that I use the Player settings not nvidia control panel settings. everything is set to use playe...

I hope I get some more replies on this thread. like I said auto scaling isn't good when your watching a video that is very small resolution. so I like to disable that but it seems to be the cause of the problem with watching 1080P videos

If I do any scaling at all its the 2:1 Double option. but I usually have to select that after I've started the Video Manually is this a Bug in the Program I have found? should I need auto Scaling check box checked to see 1080P videos correctly? see what happens if you uncheck Auto video scaling. I g...

Preferences->All and use the search to find threads in the FFmpeg module OK I have Forced the Threads to 4. Not sure what I am suppose to expect. the Video Plays the same way. I thought maybe I add to enable hardware decoding the check box above threads but doing that didn't do anything either One ...

Can you force your threads to 4, please, in the preferences?

I need more information where in the Preferences do I find this and what does it do?

I do not know if you are asking about VLC or the Forum. I can't see Force Threads to 4 in either

Can you share the logs without the GPU?

This is the Log with GPU acceleration decoding turned off

How come this forum doesn't have a way to upload an Image.
The only way I can upload is if the Image is somewhere on the internet and I use the img tags.
I belong to a lot of forums and this is the first that doesn't allow me to attach a file.

Downloading that YAMB didn't fix the problem

Also I downloaded that Over 600 MB Video and it displays incorrectly just like the others.

I have no clue what "remuxing with MP4box+yamb" means. is it part of VLC or is it something else. MP4box and yamb are separate tools, which can be used to process MP4 files. When the file is remuxed, new file is created from audio and video tracks. This new file hopefully has working size...

There was 1 moment where the video displayed correctly in VLC but it only happened once. I didn't do anything different

I would guess incorrect MP4 flags. So remuxing with MP4box+yamb hopefully fixes the file. I have no clue what "remuxing with MP4box+yamb" means. is it part of VLC or is it something else. I think I said earlier that these videos display properly in Windows Media Player 12. My Monitor does...

Please open Tools -> Messages (set Verbosity to 2) before you start the playback and then paste the full resulting log here or on Pastebin if it's too long. Are you using GPU acelearation ? Also upload a short sample of a file to either http://streams.videolan.org/upload/ or to Multiupload.com or t...
