VLC does not work with Vista x64 properly (blocky)

[mr pipp]

Hi

it seems that VLC does not work properly with Vista SP1 64bit edition.
All avi's and mpg's are not smooth, the videos are blocky (you can see edgy pixels).

I have installed VLC right after the Vista installation, so it must be a VLC problem

On XP and Vista 32bit everything's fine...but here, although installed as an 332bit application, vlc does not work like it should

Can somebody please tell me how to fix this issue

Change video output module.

yup, works after changing to 'OpenGL video output' and restating VLC

thank you j-b

strange that the 'default'-output is blocky...

Your display adapter drivers are buggy if Direct 3D output doesn't work correctly. Specially Intel display adapters have this problem.

Sorry to bump, but I didnt want to start a new topic about an old subject, I have this same issue, blocky video, vista home premium SP1 x64 and yes, intel.

I dont know about the last person, but I can play flv, avi, etc, I am trying to play a PAL dvd and getting this problem. Changing to openGL does not work. Because my problem is only evidently dvd related and not other formats I am hoping someone has a solution, the thought of using WMP makes me feel ill (in fact the thought of using windows...but anyways...til adobe wants to port photoshop to linux I have been forced to change my OS)

If you see macroblock style blockiness in your DVD video

then the DVD decryption has some issues. One option is to rip the movie to hard drive by using tools like DVDfab decrypter or AnyDVD.
