9 of 10 video snapshots are green

[basspig]

When I grab a snapshot of a paused video, usually I'll get one good frame written to disc. Subsequent frames will appear to be grabbed normally (the thumbnail in the upper left of the VLC screen looks fine) but the file written to disc is a green frame. If I keep clicking the the grab (camera) icon a dozen times, I'll get a good grab out of that dozen or so.
I upgraded from 3.0.4 to 3.0.6 and the problem persists.
The video plays fine and no green video at all, just the frames captured to disc are green.
What could be causing that?

I upgraded from 3.0.4 to 3.0.6 and the problem persists.

Update to the latest version, 3.0.18 as of today.

I just checked and the version I am currently updated to is 3.0.18

Try another video output module:

You can also try with and without hardware acceleration.

I rotated through a bunch of the video output options and found one that consistently works: open GL. I was able to write 4 out of 4 frames in a row without green screen. Thank you.
