how to deactivate the direct3d screen on vlc player

question:

As the Direct3D is a little unstable and complicated, I want to deactivate it. Can anyone tell me how to deactivate the Direct3D screen on vlc player? Thanks in advance.

answer:

In the Tools menu, go to Preferences. Click the Video item on the side bar, then where it says Output, switch it to DirectX (DirectDraw) video output. This will tell VLC not to use Direct3D and to use the older DirectDraw output mode instead.

I hope this helps.
