VLC dirextx problem when switching between VOB / AVI (divx)
Posted: 24 Oct 2004 20:03
I am using XP SP 2 and VLC 0.7.2 (also tried 8- beta test 2) and I noticed a problem where a grey screen will pop up (some sort of yuv direct x window) and it covers up the entire screen. Must at that point move it off the screen in order to see the movie.
This problem appears intermitantly, and it seems as it occurs when I have playlist entries that combine VOB and AVI-divx encoded files.
So for example, if a AVI just completed, and the next file in the playlist is a VOB file, this problem will show up.
Keep in mind, this is not happening all the time, just at random.
I can cycle thought several time, and not see it, but then at some point it will show up.
Once I move the window off the screen, I have not problem. This is my work around for now.
I believe this has something to do with direct x, as when this happens, I am able to see the screen via a remote session (VNC) where normally I would not be able to. Just thought I would mention it just in case it helps point out something.
I can arrange a session (VNC) into a machine for your review if it would help.
Just email me for details.
