why does my monitor flicker whenever i play a video with vlc
whenever i start to play a video in vlc (all formats) the monitor goes black for about half a second then returns back to the video, this is annoying since i never get to see the first part of the video (most often the very first part is important)
is this my hardware, did i install a proprietary hard ware driver that may be causing this because heres the only proprietary driver install on this machine ATI/AMD proprietary FGLRX graphics driver Quote:
this has been happening since the upgrade to lucid lynx but its now starting to get annoying and i have tolerated to way too long now i'm tired of it |
Have you tried a different output driver for vlc? I've had the same flickering with the proprietary AMD drivers, but only when using Xv, iirc. The OpenGL output device in vlc did not have that problem.

how do i set it up like that

I think the setting is in a pretty logical place. Did you check for it before you asked?
Go to Tools --> Preferences --> Video. Change the output to something else. Adam |
alright i tried them all and they all don't work (one did but it opens a new window for the video if thats the closest that it get then fine but i want it to not open any new windows)
