Windows 7 + VLC Issues. - Overclock.net

**TheLegend** · 01-11-09

Is anyone else having issues with VLC and Windows 7? VLC will still play movies properly, however, they seem very pixelated compared to WMP. I haven't tried Quicktime yet, but I assume it would run similar to WMP.

I've tried running VLC in compatibility mode for Vista/XP SP3, but it still looks pixelated.

Hopefully it's just an issue with VLCs current version and won't stop me from using it.

I tried it out and for the most part I never encountered that problem....except for once. The movie only became really pixelated when I was seeking through it.

I'm running the latest CCCP and haven't had any issues with media Player Classic.

vlc keeps freezing my explorer windows so ive stopped using it. as far as quality while i was using it did seem a little on the dull side for all the videos.

Nah, VLC works fine for me on Windows 7, that's weird the quality would be off.

It was a default install so I'm not sure how the settings could have gotten off, but I suppose it's worth a look.

Hmm It happens for me at the start of every movie but goes away after a few secs..

Hope you get it fixed

I can confirm that the issue is with the VLC software and Windows 7 (for me anyway).

I tried all the different video output modes and all were the same under Windows 7 with 1080p files (720 is watchable)
It seems to mostly affect scenes with lots of light and/or action where the video will keep sticking and become full of artifacts making the film unwatchable.

I then tried downloading the Combined Community Codec Pack(http://www.cccp-project.net/) (made by the makers of the mkv file format) which allows playback of the mkv files within Windows Media Player and it plays 1080p mkv files normally just like Vista with VLC with no skipping/artifacts at all.

I get the same issues on the two main PCs, both with Nvidia graphics cards with one being an SLI 9800GTX setup so didn't really think it was due to the system being over taxed.

Hope they fix the VLC player for Windows 7 soon as I still don't get all the options or subtitle support.
