Fixing VLC 'Bugs'
Step 1
Reset your Preference settings under the "General" tab, quit VLC and restart.
Step 2
Try deleting VLC's configuration file, which is located in your user directory.
For Windows XP users, VLC can be found in your C-Drive: C:\Documents and Settings%username%\Application Data\vlc\vlcrc
For Mac OSX Users: HOME/Library/Preferences/VLC
Download and re-launch VLC.
Step 3
Upgrade your video card from its manufacturer; for many, this is a free upgrade. Or, try disabling your video's overlay by clicking "Preferences/General/Video" and de-selecting "Overlay Video Output."
Step 4
Change your video "output module" by clicking "Preferences" and selecting "Video." Click "Output Modules" and try choosing a different option (VideoLan suggests trying the "DirectX video output," which claims to have helped many people who experience "purple video").
