Grainy/choppy effect with HD .mp4 videos

Postby Angelwood » 13 Feb 2017 16:53

Hey everyone

I hope this is in the right place. Since a while, I am having an issue with playing 1080p videos in VLC. I can't quite describe it so I'm attaching some screenshots of the effect. It appears as if there are alot of purple squares over the video. The video is an 1080p .mp4 movie.
I guess it has to do with the resolution because the problem gets worse the smaller I make the video (see screenshot 2) and is almost unnoticable in fullscreen mode. The reason why I'm posting to VLC is because I don't have the problem with the exact same clips with other programs and I am finding extremely little posts from the problem anywhere.

So it aren't the first responses I get: My VLC is uptodate as of 13/02/2017 and so are all my drivers and other programs. I have tried disabling ODS and changing the H.264 setting to all but to no avail.

Thanks for any help up front

What is your hardware ?
What is your OS ?
What is your VLC version ?

Try another video output module:

And/or disable/enable GPU acceleration:

You can also try to enable or disable some video options such as Overlay and/or Hardware YUV -> RGB conversions.
