video playback goes black whenever window is moved or resize

[deck]

Using VLC under Windows 2000, video playback goes black whenever window is moved or resized; video picture can be restored by changing the "Deinterlace" setting to any other setting.
Video playback shows " (hardware YUV overlay Direct Output)" at top of window.
Any help/suggestions?

possibly update your video drivers as a first step. also try changing the "use video buffers in physical memory". then try disabling overlays(if colors are wrong disable RGB->YUV). gl

thanks litghost
disabling overlays in video preferences solves problem for video files but dvds will not play in this setting (software RGB DirectX output)
how do I change video buffers setting?

[litghost]

for me changing overlays is the only thing that affects it. you can still try video buffer settings, they are located in Modules->video output->vout_directx

oh if you want to use overlays(and quite possibly play dvds) then use version 0.6.2, because overlays work for me in that version.

BTW post your video card, driver, OS specs, because ive seen about 6 or 7 people with overlay problems, and the VLC staff doesnt have time to deal with this bug yet, so we might as well start a running list of hardware with this problem.
