For some reason, my VLC player will play audio but no video. I installed it and reinstalled, still no luck. I then tried the same video files on Media Player Classic, and that won't work either, so apparently it's not a VLC problem. Anyone know what can be wrong? VLC has never given me a problem before, and it's supposed to have pretty much every codec already. I don't understand why movies that I have been able to play before have stopped working.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I'm assuming you're using Windows.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Did you try deleting the VLC preferences folder then rebooting?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

C:\Documents and Settings\(Windows username)\Application Data\VLC

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Delete the folder "VLC".

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If that doesn't work try running a DirectX diagnostic. If you don't know how to do that, go to the start menu, click run and type "dxdiag" then do all of the video tests it has.

It may also be a problem with the file itself. Have you tryed playing other files of the same format through VLC and WMP?

I have tried playing the other files of the same format, no luck. I actually just watched a video two days ago just fine that won't show video now.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I deleted the preferences folder and rebooted, that didn't help. I went to dxdiag and did the "directraw" and "direct3D" tests (I assume those are the video tests?) and both came out fine. :?

Have installed anything new in the 2 days since lasting using it? Changed any system settings?
