Hi
I have windows vista home premium
I have all the divx and xvid codecs and Media player 11 installed

I have the latest version of the VLC media player 0.86b installed. But i can never play any type of video clip in it. I can just hear the audio but not the video.

The same clips are playing well in Media player 11. But i want VLC to work for me.

What could be the problem?

All you actually need to do is to switch to OpenGL Playback.

Do that by going to the Settings Menu > Prefrences. Look at the right bottom of the dialog box that appears and tick the Advanced Options tick-box.

Now just click the plus next to Video. Click on Output Modules under that (Not the plus sign, just the menu item). From the Video Output Module drop down menu, select “OpenGL Video Output“. Thats it, you’re done.
