Windows 7 - VLC playback blocky/pixelated?

K-Lite is garbage, as all codec packs are.

I'm still having this problem with VLC 1.0.1. Although now, changing the output to DirectX doesn't fix the pixelation like it did in previous versions.

I'm getting tired of messing with it as well. Gonna be trying out BS Player.

BS.Player PRO is the only thing that has worked for me. I got tired of messing with Codecs so I just ended up installing AC3Filter and I configured it to run with BS.Player and now everything works flawlessly

PM me if you want a PRO license for BS.Player. A friend of mine works in their testing team and all of them get lifetime PRO keys, for free.

same problem here .. pixelated screen but i used for video output openGL and it worked fine. DirectX video output dont solve problem just openGL... Anyway one more thing. The video playback on Windows 7 is a slight brighter then on windows XP with same monitor calibration. It is getting on my nerves bc the black is not black but gray and i did calibrate all the same as on my xp... This only occure when im playing movies... the colors on Windows 7 are ok no problem there... plz anybody know what is the problem?

Since I believe it's due to a chance in some MS API or driver, was it fixed in the latest Win 7 version? Does it happen with all grafic cards or only with some Ati ones? I have Win 7 build 7100 and ATI 2400 card and pixelation happens with all renderers in all DirectShow applications except EVR renderer which works fine. VLC does not rely on DirectShow I think so the problem must be DirectX related.

USE OPENGL OUTPUT !!! opengl output works best for me. im running Windows 7 64 bit and all video players show pixelated video - wmp, lightalloy, default vlc. directx output also does the trick but it requires that popy color scheme changes.

i have Windows 7 64bit RTM + ati 4870. tried reinstaling my samsung t220 drivers, tweaking monitor setting - not efect on pixelation.

I switched to Open GL in VLC and use either EVR or a custom presenter in dshow apps. Still it would be good to know what's causing the issue, does it happen only with certain hardware? Does it only happen with certain Win 7 builds? Please post your specs! Mine:

Win 7, build 7100, 32 bit
Ati 2400

@Bloop: We already know the problem don't occur on XP...
