    Usually when I play ISO or VOB files with VLC player I get jagged lines.

    Is there any way to prevent it?

    My CPU utilization is low.
    I've tried changing resolution but that did not really help.

    Edit: It has been solved. MPC does it without jagged lines.

    So the resolution is another media player?

    cheers ...

    I first unzipped the ISO with 7zip. Then I played the VOB files with Mediaplayer Classic. No more jagged lines.

    Mediaplayer Classic comes in the K-Lite codec pack, so it uses different codecs than VLC.

    What version of VLC do you use?

    I would believe that VLC would take advantage of any system available codecs to use if it needs to, depending on the video source format

    cheers ...

    In VLC right click on the image and iirc a sub-menu of 'Video' is de-interlace. That's all you need.

    Latest. No, I believe VLC uses it's own codecs.

    Tried olyteddy's suggestion? That is if you want to try VLC again.

    cheers ...
