Well i just reformated my HD and installed a brand new 9800gt, from my old 8800gts (g80).

Now when im playing a VLC video, the edges are pretty jaggy even on my HD Movies.

I have tried different setting in nvidia control panel with no luck.

Am i missing something?

I know you're problem's fixed, but I just wanted to point out that downloading new codecs wouldn't have made a difference, since VLC runs with built-in codecs (that's one of the reasons why people like it so much).

VLC is independent of DirectShow filters... so that does nothing.

My tip to the OP is to just not use VLC, but whatever

Haha, only three minutes between our messages. Just wanted to add this to mine:

VLC runs with built-in codecs... except you specifically decide to override this in the Preferences window.

I'm having the same problem, and since I'm already using Aero (and don't know enough to really adapt VLC to my needs), I guess I'll have to stick to Media Player Classic.
