1080p movies looks bad on pc. Screenshot inside.

[Choller]

I have problems playing 1080 movies on my computer. It looks like this.



Codec: H264-MPeg AVC
Reoslution 1920x1080
Frame Rate:50

My computer:
Intel i5 3.30GHz (4CPU)
Memory: 8GB

Does anybody have any idea what's causing this? I don't have any problems with other resolutions or formats. Only mkv/ts/mp4 with resolution of 1080 gives me this output. 720's also look fine.

How does it look in other players like VLC?

The screenshot is from VLC as you can see.....

I tried MPC-HC but in that one it crashed....

Ooops....the screenshot is from VLC...

It doesn't sound good that MPCHC crashes. Does it crash when you load the video?

The whole video looks like that or just occasionally?

Try switching the output renderer in VLC. Tools -> Preferences -> Video -> Output... After changing to another renderer Save, exit VLC, and restart it.

Try Windows GDI first. That will isolate whether the problem is in the decoding of the video or the graphics cards processing of video.

THe whole video looks like that, from start to finish.

I tried windows GDI but it still looks the same. Currently trying the others. I will update if/when i have a solution. ANy other suggestions are highly welcome, this sucks...

And so far it only happens with 1920x1080 videos. 720 videos (even with higher framerate) all look allright...

Try turning off GPU accelerated decoding? It's in the Input & Codecs section. This looks like a graphics driver bug. Have you updated to the latest WHQL certified driver for your graphics card?

Looks like your video card is outputting 256 colors instead of 16 million at that resolution.Sounds like a video card driver issue that jagabo mentioned.
