Video playback went CRAZY?! (PIC attached...)

[sunsetblvd]

So I woke up this morning and decided I would edit in Premiere Pro, just like I have the same the past few months. No changes, nothing, nada.

But now my video is weird. Like crazy weird. I didn't change anything, install any codecs, nothing. I even did a clean swipe of my HDD, reinstalled windows, reinstalled drivers, still nothing.

In Premiere Pro 2.0, when I export my video and it adds it to the project, I can play it on the timeline (the newly encoded one that just got added) just fine. Perfect.

But if I try to play the same file in Windows (w/ VLC), it is really screwy. Take a look (attached):

Any ideas?

(Thanks!) It's been such a long, hot, horrible day.

****UPDATE!****

I only get this problem when exporting 'UNCOMPRESSED Microsoft AVI'
or export as Microsoft AVI 8-bit UYVY 422...

which is weird because I never got this before w/ those settings...
And the files still play in Premiere... Ehh?

Cheers,

Does this look closer to correct?



The data in the image appears to be 736 pixels wide, not 720. Probably some colorspace issues to.

Yes, that does look closer to being correct (except there is no green like that and much of the bottom is cropped out). This is pretty weird, or?

What does GSpot say about your exported video file?

Now I can't seem to replicate this from scratch, which is odd. But as I reinstalled Quicktime (given that I just reformatted my Windows XP drive, I'm getting errors

Do you think I fried my video card? Never overclocked, no changes made when this started happening, 6600gt PCiexpress...

Do you think I fried my video card?

No, quicktime (the codec) doesn't use the graphics card at all. QT player will use the graphics card for final output but that's the same as any program -- it doesn't even use video overlay.

Did you update to the latest drivers for your graphics card? Get all XP updates?

For your original problem in VLC, try this: Go to Settings -> Preferences -> Video -> Output Modules (enabled Advanced) -> Video Output Module. Try the different settings.
