Problem with MPEG videos on Windows 7 64 bit

[Mr Wolf]

Hi to all!
I'm running VLC 2.0.4 on Windows 7 64 bit, and I have problem with MPEG videos: in short, they'are all played this way:

I don't have the same issue for example on Windows XP.

Anyone can tell me what can it depend on?

Thanks in advance!

Update your video drivers.

Hi!
Sorry for the late reply. Now, I have time to try.
Well, actually, for example, with Windows Media Player I can play mpeg videos without any problem.
Are you sure it's not VLC problem? Why should update video card drivers?
By the way, I'm using now a netbook with AMD Radeon HD 6290.

Are you using the experimental x64 build of VLC ?
If so then try with the regular 32 bits build.

You can also try another video output module:

And/or disable/enable GPU acceleration:

And/or adjust FFmpeg threads:

You can also try to enable or disable some video options such as Overlay and/or Hardware YUV -> RGB conversions.

Damn! I disabled GPU acceleration and now the videos are played correctly!
Thanks so much! And have happy holidays!
