[SOLVED] VLC Artifacts

Suddenly VLC is exhibiting motion artifacts when playing back video. These are not compression artifacts since the phenomenom is visible during DVD playback, too. The best I can describe it as is ghosting of previous frames, especially visible in dark areas.

Kaffeine playing the same video does not exhibit this behaviour, and so I could use that, but I like vlc.

Any ideas?

Re: [SOLVED] VLC Artifacts

In case anyone else has this problem, I solved it by deleting ~/.config/vlc and starting again. The artifacts have gone now.

Not sure what was causing it, but all is good in the world again.
