It has been noticed on my Microsoft Windows XP SP3 32-bit (X86) along with my Intel 82865G Graphics Controller (onboard motherboard graphical processor chip video card) that the newest version of VideoLan's VLC Media Player (version 2.01) has a bug where when viewing compressed MPEG content, such as MP4 video, video colours will bleed out of both sides of the subject in the video, and duplicate ghosting images will be present alongside the subjects in the video, essentially producing a completely distorted playback of the video file in question. To remedy this, this video will show you how to downgrade your VLC Media Player through uninstalling version 2.01 and obtaining and installing the last known build with no such issues present; right off of the VideoLan FTP archive: VLC Media Player version 1.1.9
