Any helpful suggestions?

I've got a fun problem. I open the capture device, it works perfectly for a few seconds, then the image is drawn over in solid green and the mouse gets very choppy. It even gives me a nice show, dividing the image in half on the diagonal and covering one half in solid green, then the other.

I am using a VLC media player 0.8.1, precompiled and running on windows xp, I have an NVidia Geforce FX 5600 with video in/out. (I also have a disabled NVIDGIA eforce4 MX 420 with tv-out)

I also have this problem, seems to depend on the capture device but when i try similar tv-in progs (like am capture) i works perfectly. So it must be something with VLC.

It worked for a while and then for some reason it stopped working, arghhh.

Any clues?????

Specs:
VLC 0.81
WIN XP
GeForce Fx 5900 XT VTD TV IN/OUT

I get a completely green screen while trying to play ANY file in VLC...... and now its stuttering the audio too!

Vers 0.8.1

1) Make sure you have the latest DirectX from MS, plus check for the latest NVidia drivers from them.
2) Under Settings -- Preferences, -- General -- Video, try forcing the video module. Try both Directx and OpenGL, see if one works better.
3) Try a nightly build -- do a search on this forum for that phrase. VLC undergoes daily development, almost always in a positive direction (new fixes and features).

Driver issues are common If you do a search for the word nvidia you'll see quite a few posts, people having to work through getting current drivers. Once in a great while, though, it'll turn out that the latest driver actually adds the bug -- gotta love those vendors
