Comment 3 for bug 350666

hi ive also had this problem. i found the best way around it is to open the video you want to play... manually resize it to being quite small (about a quarter the size of your screen) then on the player control goto >Video>Deinterlace>then choose one of the options other than disable. the image usually scrambles for a few seconds then irons out. you should be able to go ahead and re-size/full screen the image hopefully this time without the green bars. also a couple of videos ive played you have to find a specific Deinterlace option rather than just choosing a random one... ive not played that many videos but this seems to work for me... oh and one other thing, you have to do this everytime you load a video up, even if you have played it and changed the deinterlace setting on it before.
Hope this helps
Chris
