Alright, this problem started about four days ago, and It has made me stop using VLC for the moment. The first time it happened was when I ripped the audio from a violin tut on youtube (using vid2mp3). When I opened the file in VLC, it played the music fine, but this showed up on the screen. http://i38.tinypic.com/2w7el3a.png <- It's not a pretty picture. If you look at it you'll understand why I've stopped opening music in VLC.
I tried updating VLC but it didn't work. I just want to know how I can fix this because I like using VLC. Has anything like this happened before?
