I keep trying to playback movies and videos but a lot of them have a problem where diagonal segments turn green across the screen and then once they go half the screen everything slows down drastically and I have to closedown the player program.
Any idea how to fix it?
Video playback and the green screen problem

Sorry... well I assume everyone googles terms they don't understand.
The playlist is decent enough to queue up a bunch of videos (i.e. an entire series) and it's nothing more but a video player for me and it got lots of neat hotkeys for way more comfort than any WMP release. If it doesn't work then it's usually ffdshows fault. For some reason FLV stopped working right now... :'(
...but this got nothing to do with AF's problems.
You should try the MPC indeed. In the options menu (o) go to Playback -> Output and try the overlay mixer and VMR9 one (renderless) to pinpoint the trouble maker. I guess it's the overlay mode and hardware acceleration. MPC needs a restart after switching modes. No idea if you can do that in VLC as well... never been using it.
Also try to use ffdshow instead of seperate codecs.

I also get these problems with Quicktime too.
And I did try to remedy the problem by downloading ffdshow but altho it became slightly less common, I started getting errors, for example some videos caused crashes, and this would also cause explorer.exe to crash when generating thumbnails when ffdshow crashed trying to generate them.
