I just updated to 2.0.1 and was working on a slide show set to music that played fine on the old version but won't play, or at least very badly on 2.0.1. this is they very first problem I have ever had with VLC in all the years & years I have used it. Please help.

Ok , fixed I think, I checked the boxes:
1. Use GPU accelerated decoding.
2. Use system codes if available, for WMV codecs.

don't know about no.2 since it is avi file. but anyway it works fine now. thanks.

I've upgraded from 1.1.11 to 2.1.11 and can't play all my video files anymore. I've been searching for a similar problem and responses to it but I couldn't find any. Perhaps I've just missed it because I'm not a techie and I couldn't understand most of the posts.

kogiks: what does Tools -> Messages (set Verbosity to 2) complain during playback?

How do I use GPU accelerated decoding?

I've read a post saying he has checked the boxes and his 2.0.1 can now play his old files. What boxes will I check? Where can I find these boxes?

"These are the messages in Tools - > Messages."
avcodec info: obtained IDirect3DDeviceManager9
avcodec info: DXVA2CreateVideoService Success!
avcodec error: DxFindVideoServiceConversion failed

1. Use GPU accelerated decoding.
2. Use system codes if available, for WMV codecs.

I finally found these in 'Tools - Preference' and checked them too. I still can't play my old files.

Could you share us one file that isn't playing correctly with VLC 2.0.1?
