Almost 1 month to the day of its earlier version, VLC Media Player 2.0.1 has been released day before, while I was ogling the co-eds in some college cultural meet or other.
:-)
Like its earlier avatar VLC Media Player 2.0.1 also suffers from a display problem in Windows XP OS. While the audio playback is excellent, even improved, from the 1.1.X series, the problem with video which appeared in version 2.0.0, essentially garbling the picture during playback is still present.
The problem arose with VLC Media Player 2.0.0, probably because its video rendering pipelines were rewritten for the new ‘Twoflower’ version. Sadly, no amount of fingering with the options could solve the problem, and many of us had to revert back to VLC Media Player 1.1.13 or earlier.
Fortunately in its latest avatar the VLC Media Player 2.0.1 offers the ability to sort out the issue of garbled video playback. It seems the VLC team has since the original ‘Twoflower’ release fixed a hundred bugs - one of which seems to have worked to our advantage.
The bug appears when VLC Media Player 2.0.1 is run with default settings and manages to mangle the video as the snapshot shows above. I think this problem arises in PC’s not installed with a separate (or dedicated) Graphics Card, but uses the integrated (inbuilt) graphics card, which in my case is Intel. The VLC Media Player ‘Twoflower’ series seems to default to a dedicated graphics card and manages to mangle the video.
There appears 2 solutions which work - change the video output from ‘default’ to either ‘DirectX video output’ or ‘Windows GDI video output’.
To do that,
Viola, You are done!
Enjoy the video - there is a definite improvement in the clarity of the video and of course the sound, even without a dedicated video card.

To do that,
- fire up VLC Media Player 2.0.1, and on the ‘menu’ bar,
- click on ‘Tools’ --> ‘Preferences’
- when the ‘preferences’ pop up opens, click on ‘video’ tab
- deselect the ‘Accelerated video output’ check box
- in the ‘Output’ dropdown box select either
- ‘Windows GDI video output’ or
- ‘DirectX video output’
Viola, You are done!
