Video shows green, pink or blocky picture

The sound is fine but the picture turns green, pink or breaks into blocks. That usually means the graphics card's hardware decoder cannot handle this file (10-bit HEVC, 4:2:2 camera footage, an old driver), not that the file is broken.

Play it free with PlayAnyVideo

  1. 1

    Open the file in PlayAnyVideo — when the browser's decoder fails, the built-in engine decodes the picture in software instead.

  2. 2

    Update the graphics driver, then try again; many green-screen cases are fixed by a driver update.

  3. 3

    If only one spot is blocky every time, that part of the file is damaged — jump a few seconds past it.

  4. 4

    Open the PlayAnyVideo player in your browser — nothing to install — and drop the file in. Files never leave your device.

FAQ

Is it really free?

Yes. PlayAnyVideo has no ads, no paid codecs and no locked features.

Is my Video shows green, pink or blocky picture file uploaded anywhere?

No. Playback happens on your own device; local files are never sent to a server.

Do I need a codec pack?

No. Codec packs can break other players and often bundle adware. PlayAnyVideo brings its own decoders.
