VLC Videos Jagged Edges

[Naveen_Reloaded]

I dont know , for MKV to play in ps3 i installed many converting software which required different codecs , so installed various codec packs . Now my VLC shows jagged edges

Here is VLC screenshot .. as you can see the letter itself is jagged and also the picture behind


Oh i forgot to mention , i have tried reinstalling VLC many times ( Version 1.0.1)

here is my K-Lite ( media Player Classic ) , it has smooth edge




Also now when i try to play a a avi or some other format , i get a COM Surgate issue ( sometimes only ) but i can play the video..

May not be VLC related but is this anything to do with Quicktime installation and removal ? also why is when i view videos ( thumbnails ) there is Haali splitter running ( too many ) and there is a COM surgate (dllhost.exe) in the task manager

Is there a way to completely remove all codecs and put in fresh codecs ?

This isn't a K-Lite support forum. For VLC video quality issues, try different video output module.

i think you got it wrong.

I have both K-Lite and VLC. Off lately VLC is showing jagged edges .

as i said before , a reinstall has not solved the issue

also when play a video with " Output " > DirectX , the video seems to be normal , what could be the problem ?

You use Windows 7?

[Naveen_Reloaded]

yup.. RC .

build 6100 i think so

please help me. I cant see any movies. all are horrible on full screen Oh i forgot to tell. If the VLC is half sized , i mean not in full screen mode , the videos are normal ,, no jagged edges

if i use openGL there is no aero disabling but cursor disappears and no seek bar

I am experiencing this as well. When I watch an HD mkv file with VLC I see jaggies as if it isn't AA but when I take a snapshot with vlc the picture is perfectly smooth. If I watch my videos with SMPlayer there are no jaggies either.

I have an ATI HD 3850 1Gb card.

Known issue. I will fix this when I get myself Windows 7 box, or JB fixes his box. DirectX video output module should produce OK quality under Windows 7.

[Naveen_Reloaded]

could this be due to codec issue ?

[VLC_help]

No. It happens with all the videos.

thnks a lot. i was very much worried coz VLC is fav player and i was hitting my head of what i did wrong to make it show jagged videos.

anyway i tried few other things here is list


1.) Changed compatibilty to " XP SP3 " + Disable desktop Compostion >> Video are smooth --- aero is disabled
2.) Changed compatibilty to " XP SP3 " >> Again Aero Disables and video is fine ( but slight wobbling is there )
3.) Changed compatibilty to " Vista " >> video again shows jagged edges
4.) Changed compatibilty to " Vista " + Disable Desktop Composition >> Video is jagged


i dont know why this happens. May be you guys know about it. I will leave it to you guys.

Hope this gets fixed soon.

One last question though , I recently installed quicktime ( Crap ) and removed it. i think that the problem arose after that removal only. could that be a issue ? Please help.

Thanks for helping me out thus far VLC_help

Is is display driver related issue. So nothing to do with QuickTime.

I am experiencing the same jagged edges. I'm running Windows 7 and VLC 1.0.2. Looking forward to a fix since this is my favorite player.

I have this problem with a 4870 X2 on a 32" Samsung HDTV, I've tried god damn well everything to make it work, including what has been said in this thread. Using Windows 7 now but the problem has been with me throughout the years (XP/Vista/7), I've tried the TV with another computer which had the same problem but that computer also had an older ATI card. I've tried a 4:3 Samsung LCD monitor on my computer and then the problem did not occur so I drew the conclusion that it must be some kind of conflict between ATI cards and (perhaps only samsung) TV's/widescreen monitors.

Now there's really no point in posting this since somebody said a fix is on the way but I'm just wondering if there's anything else related to the issue i could try out. Here's what I've tried so far:

-Setting compatability mode to everything (also tried "running as administrator" since you had to that in vista in every other program so that something wouldn't --please stay polite-- up)
-Disabling Aero, both in windows and for VLC
-Setting output mode to DirectX (In fact I've tried every output mode in the list)

(Video works fine in WMP so naturally there's nothing wrong with my TV)

This has been fixed in VLC 1.0.3
