VLC 1.0.3 Swscale kills video output

[Alexsource]

Tryed to use swscale to see how it looked like, and it doesn't seem to work. There's just no video output. I've tryed several video output modules (directx, direct3d opengl and windows GDI), and they all work UNTIL I enable the filter. Then, a big nothing, not even a black frame. Just the audio plays.

This is what the message windows with verbosity set to 2 has to say on the matter:

Notice the
main error: no video filter module matched "swscale"
and the
main error: no suitable vout module
and finally
main error: failed to create video output

What's going on?

WXp sp3, ZOGIS nvidia geforce 5500fx video card.

Yes, swscale will be loaded by himself, if you deactivate overlay, not when you force it.

[Alexsource]

Ahh! Silly me. Thx for the fast answer. I'll tinker around with this when I'm back home tonight.

[Alexsource]

I've tryed bilinear, fast bilinear and bicubic with one slightly fuzzy video. I couldn't really tell one mode from the other, probably because i chose a slightly fuzzy video, but there was some screen tearing. Any way to cope with that?

[VLC_help]

Tearing is known issue of 1.0.3
