The VideoLAN Forums

Hi all,

I just did a clean install of Windows XP Home and I've installed VLC 1.1.5. On the homepage it says VLC can play files encoded with DIvX, so I don't know why this one won't work. It plays but it looks like the colours are misaligned. Do I need to adjust a setting somewhere?

Here's the MediaInfo (sorry for the poor formatting):

Try different video output module.

Thank you!! OpenGL output worked for the DivX. And switching off Accelerated video output/Overlay video output made mp4 files work correctly. Thanks for not making me have to download a load of trashy codecs.
