Could you share this problematic .wmv file to us?

See the HD wmv sample that comes with Windows 7.

It's called Wildlife.wmv and is generally located under: C:\Users\Public\Videos\Sample Videos\

Same issue here. With either 1.0.5 or 1.1.0.

Works with WMP, though.

Problem turned out to be with my hardware acceleration drivers.

In Win7, I had to slide the hardware acceleration all the way down to: "Disable all DirectDraw and Direct3D accelerations, as well as all cursors and advanced drawing accelerations. Use this setting to correct severe problems with DirectX accelerated applications".

I would prefer if I could manually disable DDraw and D3D from VLC itself rather than the OS as a whole.

It'll do for now, but I might have to switch to MPC or WMP.

Found the option to use an alternative video output.

Nevermind

Don't download display drivers from Windows Update.

ok,i replaced video driver to ati last one, without success, but with 1.0.5 i can change v out to d3d and video running,and aero not switching off,please another suggestions!

[VLC_help]

Which driver you downloaded from ATI?

10 february 2010,my card is x700

[VLC_help]

Well I would guess there is some Direct3D instruction in VLC 1.1.x that doesn't work those old cards using Windows 7. If someone figures out what the actual instruction is, we might be able to provide some patch for it (or maybe the new Direct2D output works better).

AMD’s DirectX 9 ATI Radeon graphics accelerators are not officially supported under Windows 7. If the user chooses to, they can install the ATI Catalyst Windows Vista graphics driver under Windows 7. Please be aware that none of the new Windows 7 graphics driver (WDDM 1.1) features are supported (as the Windows Vista level graphics driver is limited to WDDM 1.0 level support). Using the ATI Catalyst Windows Vista driver under Windows 7 is not officially supported by AMD, and as such AMD will not provide any form of customer support for users running in this configuration
