The VideoLAN Forums

I am trying to play DVDs and other movie formats on a TV set. My graphics card is an old Matrox Marvel G-400 TV which has DVDMax to watch movies on a TV. Whenever I use the VLC player the picture is always displayed on the TV like a negative.
Are there any settings that I am perhaps missing to correct this ?

Deactivate overlay in preferneces.

Deactivate overlay in preferneces.

Thanks Jean-Baptiste. I shall try that and post result.

If I disable overlay there will be no picture on the TV.
Please note that the picture on the computer is always good. But the on TV is being shown like a negative. This happens mostly when I change the file format, from mpg to avi.

Keep Overlay and deactivate RGB->YUV conversions then.

Thank you again for your patience and help. Overlay and YUV ->RGB must remain active otherwise I will have no picture on the TV. The problem begins when I change source from mpg to avi or vice versa. This is the effect I get on TV.
I have uploaded the pictures here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=VTGEHG9W

I don't think there is any easy solution if overlay shows wrong colors.

That's what I also think too. The funny thing is that WMP 11 has no problems. But if I have to use WMP, I would be missing out on all the nice features of the VLC player.

Hmm, try to use another video output in preferences.
