Hello - I bought a DVD movie "Charlotte's Web" by Walden Media yesterday and when I watched the movie on my netbook I thought the actors' blue skin (they were Caucasians) was supposed to be like that for this particular movie for fun effect - but when I started another chapter in my Stargate SG - 1 DVD movie to do screenshot captures and the faces of the Stargate actors were also blue, I knew something was wrong. I was running VLC 1.0.1 in my netbook under Windows XP.

How can I fix this blue-ing of the actors' skin and get both movies to play back in full color as they should? Here's my VLC color settings (before I uninstalled it and installed VLC 1.0.5, that is) -





And also the video play back isn't as sharp as it was before I played Charlotte's Web last night - as you can see in this screenshot from the video playpack, the play back got a bit more fuzzy - how do I prevent this in future and fix the current situation (after I reinstall VLC, that is)?

Thanks in advance.

Could you please tell me how to do this - spell it out, please? I'm an idiot when it comes to stuff like this.

Thanks.

Remove %appdata%\vlc folder

Where exactly do I find this - full path, please?

And will removing this folder affect the video deinterlacing abilities, multiple screenshot captures at full resolution?

Open Windows Explorer or start -> run and paste %appdata%\vlc there. Removing that folder will reset all VLC settings.

Hey everyone - I installed the vlc v1.0.5 that I d/l from the home page and tried both my Stargate SG 1 and my Charlotte's Web DVD movies in it, and goody, goody, goody - all the faces of the Caucasian people in the movies are the way it should be - everything is in full color!

This time when I reinstalled vlc v 1.0.5 I noticed that in the installer the "delete preferences and cache" was checkmarked - I left this alone and proceeded to do a normal install. Could this have anything to do about how this problem got solved?

Thanks!
