VLC on Vista 64 Ultimate pixelated picture

Postby aleq » 02 Sep 2008 11:18

Hi

My system is Vista 64 Ultimate, and when I open my video files in full screen, I see pixels and it's annoying. How do I make the picture smooth?

My resolution is 1600x1200

Obviously you see pixels, how else would you see the video. LOL. Just joking around okay, now for the help.
The probable reason why the video appears "squarey" is because it is a low bitrate and/or it does not have a high enough resolution so as to apear "non-squarey".

In VLC Advanced Options set Video Output to OpenGL.
