Hi!,

I've got some videos sequences in yuv (uncompressed) format that i'd like to play using VLC. When i try to do so, the result is a fuzzy video with lots of coloured lines "floating" around. Does anybody know what the problem is?, am i missing something (like a codec)?.

Thanks in advance!,

Jeremy

P.S.: My VLC version is 1.1.9, and i'm running it on a 64 bit Windows 7.

If you see video, you aren't missing anything. If same happens with other files (like .avi, .mp4 etc.) then it is most likely a video output issue.

If it just happens with YUV files, it is most likely a bug in VLC.

I'm able to play almost any kind of file, EXCEPT yuv... it's really weird!, i refuse to believe that i'm the only one with this problem!

You are not the only one. vlc can output to yuv files (and they are correct, i made a tool to decode them), but fails at playing them correctly, colors are messed up.

Edit:
Hmm, i did some tests, if the first line of the yuv file is It plays fine.

if it's something else like , vlc won't detect the size and will display weird stuff. Forcing the video size in the command line helps, but the image slides to the right and green lines appears at the top.

Could you share us one non-working file so I can open a trac ticket for this?
