Strange Video Colours When Using VLC Player

[devilcoelhodog]

Hello, dear all.


I'm using VLC and PotPlayer on my videos here.


But, I don't know why, when I play videos using VLC, the images appears like that below:





When I open using PotPlayer, the images are processed much more "normal" and without any strange colours:





The problem is not the video itself. If I do more tests using other files, the results are the same.


I think is some settings on VLC engine. Potplayer appears alright.


Do you know how to set VLC properly in a way that the strange colours on the images do not appear anymore?


Thanks for the tips!


Best regards.

You can try Tools -> settings and on the bottom there is restore settings.
I hope it help.

VLC is not decoding the blue channel properly. What does MediaInfo say about your video file?

I did that and it seems work here! I need more tests to see if the problems are solved for good.

I know I've seen a bug in VLC a few times where the chroma picture is shifted a few pixels to the right in relation to the luma. Leaving a strip of black and white on the left. Restarting VLC fixes it. It's been there for years and yet to be fixed.
