When video post processing filter is used in conjunction with another filter and it isn't listed first in the options text box it will be disabled when you open a video.

swscale:postproc <- Disabled (default order when you tick those two options)

postproc:swscale <- Works

If you change the order then go back into options again it will be listed as swscale:postproc again, and if you press save it will revert to being disabled on video launch. If you leave it as-is and press cancel it will continue to work though.

VLC 1.1.11
Windows 7 x64

postproc is usually needed to be at first, indeed.

Thank you.
This has been annoying me for a while, and all of the answers I have previously seen missed the actual cause of the problem.
Anyway, I really appreciate your post.
