Can't watch videos, get a green screen only

Hi, I can watch videos with MSN, but when I try to watch you tube, cbs or any other site, get a green screen. I've enable flash and shockwave but still nothing.
Help!

"Green screen" is caused by either outdated or corrupted video drivers.
Even if they're up to date, they can be corrupted.
Update them from the manufacturer site - NOT Windows update.

I can't watch videos on most websites. Help!

i can't watch videos on most sites. the only one which i can watch videos so far is youtube. i upgraded the latest driver for my graphics card (nvidia geforce) and also adobe flash but still doesn't help. thanks in advance for your assistance.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Why do I get a green screen on all of my videos in Mozilla (YouTube, Facebook, etc.)

I have read the forums regarding this issue on Internet Explorer, but I do not know how to fix the issue on Firefox, which is my preferred browser. All videos have audio but there is no video, just a green screen. :-( Also, is there a different fix for IE other than disabling hardware acceleration? The videos are so blurry with that fix. Thanks for the help!

Try updating your graphics driver: https://forums.adobe.com/thread/945765

I can't watch videos on Youtube in HD ever since that mess with HTML5 last month.

So in February there was a brief stint where Youtube decided to force everyone to watch videos only with the HTML5 player, which forced many Firefox users to watch videos with only 360p and 720p as resolution options, and even at 720p the video was blurry and playback was choppy. I tried using a couple different add-ons people made to force Youtube to use Flash Player again, but the video quality was even worse than on the HTML5 player so I removed them. And now, even after Youtube allowed Flash Player to be used again, ever since that mess happened it's affected the videos I watch. Now I can't watch videos in any real high definition, because on any resolution option the videos become "fuzzy." The edges of people, text, and objects are pixelated and either blurry or jagged and not crisp and sharp as they should be. I also have problems with "rippling," where it seems as if thin, vertical lines are moving on the screen and subtly distorting the video. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Flash Player, Firefox is on the current version, and everything else on my system that I know of is up to date. I have also tried watching videos in safe mode. Nothing changes. I can't get the videos to look normal again. For almost the past month I've had to start using Chrome specifically just for Youtube because nothing I do will get it to work properly again on Firefox.

Hello,
Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
#Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
#Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
#Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
# Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. [[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] 
# Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
# Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
# Restart Firefox.
This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
Does this solve the problem? Let us know.

I get a green screen

Hi,
I use Windows XP Home Edition and my QT is giving me a few problems. When I start a video (download or stream) I get a few seconds of video and then the screen goes green. My PC is using a LOT of CPU power when this happens.
What do I need to fix it ?? I have the latest QT, so an update shouldn´t be necessary. But let me know.

Well I'm getting the green screen now too. This started happening after updating to QT 7.0.3. It isn't a driver issue as I have the newest update from nvidia for the card I have. It also is not the video that I am trying to watch as it happens within the iTunes music store and on the apple site. I would really like to know what has changed between the previous version of QT and this upgrade that has caused the problems. Both the pc and the mac have these problems from time to time so it would be nice to get it fixed.

With the new firefgox I cant get any of the "movies" I just get a green screen.

When I click on a news story that has a video I get a green screen in the area where the picture should be. Everything else is fine.

You can check for problems with current Flash plugin versions and try these:
*disable a possible RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin extension for Firefox and update the RealPlayer if installed
*disable protected mode in Flash 11.3 and later
*disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin

Some videos are just green screen

Some videos last a few seconds and then all i get is green screen and a crackling audio as the video skips or fastforwards.

"Green Screen" is (99.9% of the time) caused by outdated or corrupted video drivers.
Yes, even if they're up to date, they can be corrupted.
Update them from the manufacturer, not Windows.

Can I watch video through my iPhone and TV at the same time?

Can I watch video through my iPhone and TV at the same time while using the Apple composite video cables? I am planning a trip in my car and would like to play videos for my kids through their video screen while my wife watches on the iphone from the passenger seat. I didn't want to spend $50 to find out it doesn't work.
Thanks in advance!

It doesn't work that way, sorry. When video out is being utilized, only the movie artwork (the cover or image) is displayed, and the actual movie is not displayed on the iPhone's screen.

Expression Encoder 4 Output for all video is a green screen with audio

I keep getting a green screen outputting any video while trying each setting. I've read somewhere that its the compatibility of the filters on the computer but I have no idea what do use to make it work. Any suggestion's would be appreciated. Thanks

I'm having this problem too. It's a shame no one has bothered to support this application.

Once you got your trackpad back, then install Flash here
