Green screen means bad graphics driver or bad codecs. Uninstall all your codecs and then get K-Lite Codec Pack.

You guys so happy about “yay, lowering hardware acceleration fixed it!" are MISSING the whole point. Doing so its like not using your graphic accelerator card for viewing the video, it reduces framerate a lot plus makes it inestable, and it looks like shit anyway. Try to see a 1280x720 resolution video without hardware acceleration and start crying on how BAD it will run and look.

Lowering hardware acceleration is NOT a solution, a solution would be viewing the video with all your resources, and everyone has paid for his graphic card, so I don’t get how anyone can be so happy about it unless you are a complete ignorant and can’t differenciate video quality and frames per second.

If anyone comes with a REAL solution, please post it here ASAP, I tried everything and nothing works.

If you have a green screen while trying to watch a online video or a clip and have Windows Media Player, all you have to do is 1) Open Windows Media Player 2) Right click and go to tools and select options 3)Click on the performance tab 4) Go down to video acceleration and move the bar to none 5) After moving the bar click on advanced 6)Unclick the box that says Enable full-screen mode switch 7)Click okay and apply the setting

The reason I state to change your Windows Media Player settings is because I was told to do that by NETFLIX. I had trouble before watching AOL Videos, some video clips, and NETFLIX online movies. It totally works awesome now. My picture looks great and I have no problems watching anything. I can also enlarge it to full screen and it looks damn good.

Thanks for the information. I was having the same issue with different sites but ignored it until I got to Netflix - then it became a problem. I used the information you provided and it has solved my problem and was so much easier than other things I had read on here.

Until someone comes up with a safe and simple “solution” to the problem that will not cost anything, cause me to have a headache or to spend time without my computer, I will be perfectly happy being “ignorant” of what I am supposedly missing (even though I can’t tell) by reducing the “video quality” and watch the movies I previously couldn’t see.

Again, thank you very much.

Hmmm well green screen is actually vacant frames within the .mov or stream content. So its how the driver and codecs interpret the information that is dependent on whither you get green screen in iTunes , Quicktime.. etc Basically it normally stalls on the vacant frame then waits for the next full frame to arrive. However if you have differing frame rates, ie which you tend to get in different zones1,2, and so on you find that people are encoding video at different frame rates onto their computers you get green screen stalls. What doesn’t help it is after every Windows update the priority is to use the WMP codecs and drivers. so it screws you up again and you go looking for this fix and that fix DivX, 3IvX and what not. The best way round all this is to download the combined community codec pack and install it periodically to keep it on top and avoid green screen this is simple and straight forward, every now and again you reload its an all in one solution. It stops QT calling up the wrong drivers and codecs if you keep trying this and that you will get a combination of faults appearing and more green screen than you’d rather have and no amount for clever try this fixes will work and your left with reloading windows and all you codecs again. Hardly worth the trouble really. Or you could just download a Live CD of Linux burn it and off you go all drivers and codecs choose your distro well and you can use it right from CD to watch HD movies access on line streams no install required. The guys that make these distros tend to think about what they are doing unlike MS. And of course its a close relation of Apple so what works for them will work for you go to distrowatch. Good luck remember your OS is probably a combination of errors and mismatches so there are no guarantee’s any of the solutions given as answers here will work for you. Thought the Linux might. but if your sticking to windows look for the combined community codec pack.

Okay guys, I know some people that even after installing Divx their problem wasn’t solved. But here’s the deal (at lest if you’re using quicktime). Same thing happened to me, all my movies were playing green, blue, and purble, the audio was fine, but nothing but preety (not so much) lines would show up. So this is what I did to slve the prolm. Remember, this only happened to me in quicktime player. Okay, go to your windows control panel. Look around for quicktime and double click it. Your perference window should come up. CLick on “ADVANCED," it’s the last tab. And on the Vedio option, MAKE SURE the “Safe mode," is on. If it’s not, click on it, and close everything and try it again. THAT WORKED FOR ME! But my problem was only with quicktime. I assume all the other players have a similar way of working. HOpe you guys fix the probm

We have a new windows Vista machine and an old monitor. Only had the “green screen” issue with Quicktime - with no problems in Windows media player or other programs. Changing the properties in Quicktime to “safe mode” worked like a charm — thanks!!

I had the same problem, unfortunate reducing accelleration did not fix my HDTV problem, although Media Player worked fine.

My problem was the video card. ASUS ATI with 'splendid' color correction.

Disable splendid and everything worked fine. (Advanced settings under desktop properties)

I hope this helps someone cause it drove me crazy.

If you go to www.codecguide.com as earlier posted, that will completely fix your problem and you will be able to set WMP to its top acceleration
