The VideoLAN Forums

Hello, i'm using windows XP, and i have a problem with the last version of VLC.
It was fine with the version 2.1.5 of VLC, but now that i installed 2.2.1 there's the problem.
I also deleted preferences but it didn't fixed the problem.

The problem occur when reading .VOB files
Most of .VOB files start with a gray screen or a green screen for about a second just before it start playing correctly.
I know the .VOB is fine (it was before the update of VLC), but i still tried to play the video with a different player, and it was reading fine.
Also, i convert a .VOB file to .MP4 and the reading problem wasn't with the .MP4, only with the .VOB

What should i do?

Well, it's definetly a bug. I just uninstalled VLC 2.2.1 re-installed 2.1.5, and my .VOB files are playing fine.
I think i'll stay with 2.1.5 until this bug have a fix.

The error also occurs with MPEG-2 files which I have recorded with a DVB-T capture card as a video stream

Yes, seems consistent with the reports.
