The VideoLAN Forums

I dunno whether this is because you haven't released something specifically for Vista yet (I did notice there was a beta test going on for 0.9.0), but I get extremely blocky playback in VLC regardless of what I'm playing back. Including DVD's. Interestingly enough, WMP has the same behavior. In fact, the only player that seems to be doing things right is Windows Media Center, and I find that just plain bizarre.

Anyone have any idea what might be going on?

I have the same problem sometimes, no idea what it is Maybe some dev(s) can give some information concerning the whole Vista thingy?

You are running prerelease software, with pre-release video drivers, on a pre-release Operating System. I leave the rest of the math up to you

I had figured that's what it was. Although, I'm not using 0.9.0. I'm using the latest stable version offered on VLC's main page.

My video drivers are screwed anyway, thanks to Acer-modified hardware that Nvidia drivers won't recognize, but that's a whole 'nother story . . .

Few things
Prerelease OS: Vista is already RTM, and 30 november OEM's are preinstalling it on their systems as well, which is only 2 days left.
As for the drivers, yes, that's true, but expect something final soon
And prerelease software, we give feedback to improve ofcourse

Zelbinian: You can modify NVIDIA drivers to work with your card.

in theory that works on Vista too.
