Curious Video output problem

My laptop's screen is 1280x800; 16:10

OK, with VLC, if the video (DVD) is letter-boxed with black bars top and bottom, i.e. because it is 16:9, then on the bottom edge of the video alongside the bottom black bar, the line isn't straight. See attached picture. That is the only fault to the output. Not a huge problem but distracting

When I change to full screen the fault can be seen on the top edge of the video instead. If I change the output to 16:10 which stretches the picture but fills my screen minus black bars, you can still see it right on the edge

Had previous version of VLC, downloaded latest. Same problem. I use default settings

As for Media Player Classic, I use K-Lite codec pack. Even worse is that it does not render DVD menu's correctly. No idea which output render I should select in options, but ones I've tried all still look dodgy

Thanks

 

It may be your video card, you're lucky you can see it on your TV, I just get a blur (Because I have some crap video card)

 

So I just took the time and effort to update drivers from modified 7.1 Omega's rotfl. I now have 5 sets of drivers from 6.8's to 7.6's

Anyway, problem still there lol. Hmmm

P.S. This time I used ATI mobile 7.6's

 

Interlaced video is made up of 2 fields of 262.5 lines (NTSC). Do the math. That half line has to go somewhere. You might try one of the other de-interlace options. As to K-Lite, remove it (if you can) and just use FFDShow. Menus will probably then work.

 

UK R2 Pal here

In case you didn't guess it, location a clue

 

, not sure what you said

 

I as saying I'm in UK so am Pal

Tried changing VLC deinterlacing. 'X' the only one that did not affect PQ or how video outputted. Annoying line lessened enough for me to ignore - which is a huge thing for someone with my personality rotfl

P.S. Trying very hard not to post obvious joke

 

Update

Uninstalled VLC, now using ffdshow and MPC for my DVD playback needs. Not sure if its me setting ffdshow's deinterlacing to 5-tap lowpass doing it or some other setting, but the issue is now much better resolved. A tiny, smidgen of a blur on the bottom edge left if I move closer to the screen, but in the main gone

 

Then it's still gonna have a half line. Using 'X' as the VLC de-interlace option simply throws one field away, so no half line.
