VLC Video Bleedthrough in Firefox Flash Videos (ala youtube)

[fridgepants]

I am having a very strange problem with VLC. In the black portions of flash videos rendered in firefox or IE images displayed on VLC bleed through. It is entirely dependent on the physical positioning of the VLC window on my screen. If I move it so that it doesn't align with a flash video I am watching, there is no bleed through but when they align I can see small strange portions of the VLC displayed movie in the midst of a flash video.

The patterns (that essentially turn a flash video into a transparent window to VLC behind it) are peculiar and irregularly shaped but they only occur in black portions of flash videos. I have no explanation let alone a cure, does anybody else?

It occurs in both Firefox and IE, so it isn't web-browser dependent. It doesn't happen with other video rendering programs

Disable overlay video output from Flash and/or from VLC.

This is a side effect of how overlay works. The actual VLC window is filled with a certain colour and the hardware replaces that colour with the video within the VLC window region. So if some other window overtop of the VLC window has the same colour in it, those pixels get replaced with video too.
