Hello friends. I haven't had problems with VLC from years. And i never install codec packs. But... from now at version 2.0.3 (32 bit) and fresh fully updated Windows 7 Ultimate x64 OS i have big problem. Here is example pics of artifacts with quadres. If i use snapshot from VLC Media Player the output pictures have not artifacts, they are missing. Which means that only screen display show me artifacts. How can i fix this or may be you can fix this bug?

No! It can't. I change it from default to DirectX (DirectDraw), apply (save), restart the player, and still have the same artifacts. Also i disabled the "YUV -> RGB".
What to do now?

Please open Tools -> Messages (set Verbosity to 2) before you start the playback and then paste the full resulting log here or on Pastebin.com if it's too long.

Also upload a short sample of a problematic file to either http://streams.videolan.org/upload/ or to EmbedUpload.com, so it will upload the file for you to several other hosts, and then post the link to the file here.

Here is log

I have already uploaded video earlier for friends, because they wanted to try too.

Look, there is unexpected process with my OS - i am thinking that i was install Windows 7 without SP1, later SP1 come as update! Because maybe i was get wrong DVD. But before SP1 and after SP1 these artefacts are staying to VLC.
My computer have another one player QuickTime and i always do reboot between installations. I haven't any problems with VLC + QuickTime until now. If you can find the problem, it will be great to know the reason.

Even with that, it should not give the look that happens on the first post.

That looks like a driver issue to me. Maybe the default VGA driver and its 16-bit color mode is being used for some reason. Or some wrong setting (dither, range output) in the drivers configuration.

Maybe YUV->RGB hardware conversions.

Hello friends. I fix this. Before i always get automatically kind of ATI VGA video driver! But now it looks that update process does not work for some reason and i see only stupid "VGA adapter". And it use 32 bits color mode. I install my video driver, i was sure in this fix, and the problem is gone. After look in device manager there is only my video driver now.
Thanks a lot people.
