The VideoLAN Forums

I have been using vlc to watch avi files for a couple of weeks, but now I don't have any video( I have audio). I don't know alot about this kind of stuff( or really anything for that matter), so if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated

Change video output module or disable Overlay video output. (Save and restart VLC after changes)

I have the same problem. I've been using 0.8.6h on an XP Home PC for a couple of years now, and just upgraded to 0.9.2 today. Right away video playback failed, with no error messages, nothing, even though the audio is fine. I tried every available overlay, or none, but nothing helped.

You also tried other video output modules than default choice?

Yes, it was set to default, so I tried DirectX, OpenGL, etc. Saved and restarted player each time, then played a video.

thanks for your help, I had to use" windows GDI video output" to get it to work

Then your graphic drivers and directX install are pretty f**ked up.
