Default MPG's go green?

Are these MPEG-2 files? I had this problem with them. I had outdated codecs.

Playing MPG's in BSPlayer, the videos go green. It's random. Sometimes
3 seconds into the video, sometimes not at all, and even on the same
video, it may go green 10 seconds into it. Close it, reopen it, and
it's fine.


Can't quite figure out what occurred when this started, i.e. system
change made.


Any ideas/suggestions? Don't know what to start looking at or
changing.


Thanks.


Evan

Could you post a screenshot of this effect? Just want to make sure it's the
same as the one I was seeing. I had to uncheck "use video mixing renderer"
in Windows Media Player 9 to get rid of it.

They're MPG files. Don't know what CODEC they use. But files I KNOW
played fine now don't.

AVI's seem to play fine. I've downloaded about every codec I can find.

That's definitely a codec issue. :-) Sad but true, since it means you've
exhausted most options. VideoLAN will probably work, though:
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ . It's a completely self-contained program and
with internal MPEG support. It installs cleanly into a folder and doesn't
poison your system.

Ok, it did it.

This was an AVI. I went to full screen, then as soon as I went to non
full screen, it went green.

Played the file back, it's fine - i.e. it's not going green now.

And it's in BSPlayer, and has done it in Windows Media Player too.
This is the first I've noticed it in an AVI.
