The VideoLAN Forums

I hope this is the right place to report this bug. If not, please let me know and I'll move it to the correct location.

As the title says: I have a playback issue with VLC version 3.0.6 and VC1 codecs created with FFmpeg.
Both examples were created with blender 2.79.
Settings:

• FFmepg video codec #1
• very slow; smallest file
• Encoded as RGBA
• keyframe interval: 15 frames
• Audio codec: None

Example images:
1)


2)


This is what the video actually should look like:

[s]Upload from http://streams.videolan.org/upload/ will follow in a moment[/s]
Edit: It seems that I can't share the link to the file I uploaded over there. Is there any site where I should upload the file (eg. uploaded.net)

BTW: I would be very thankful if you can tell me how to create spoilers in here so that the original sized images don't use 90% of the screen space.

Was this the right place to post such a bug report or not. I highly doubt that it is since there was not a single comment. I highly doubt that even a single person really read the whole thread!

Are there any comments on here?
Like is this forum dead or is this just the wrong place to submit such things?

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 please upload a short sample of a problematic file to Zippyshare.com (200 MB max) or to WeTransfer.com and then post the link to the file here.

If needed cut it with DGsplit and read here about how to do it:

100 MB max should be enough.

I can't reproduce the issue, your sample is playing fine for me with either D3D11 or D3D9.

you can try to change under preferences->video->input/codecs->video codecs->ffmpeg->threads:
change from 0 to something less than the number of processor/threads that you have.

I have a 6 core CPU (no Hyper Threading) and set the thread count to 4.

I still get the same result

I have a 6 core CPU (no Hyper Threading) and set the thread count to 4.

Is it any better if you set it to 1 ?

Better, well... I would say different.

When set to 0, 3, 4, 5 or 6 I get the results you see in the two images.
When the threads are set to 1 or 2 I don't have the distortions. However, the playback stops after a second or so. I the frame/seconds counter seems to still run while the image seems to be frozen.
