Goldenghost Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 I've installed recently the MAC OS X Lion build 11A511 on the VMWare Workstation 7.1.3, and I can play videos whether on youtube or locally with VLC Media Player, but I only hear the sound, the video in completely black. I've tried installing Adobe Flash Player and VMsvga2_v1.2.3_Common_Installer.pkg but remains the same. Any idea?

HoopaKoopa Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Try this. - Browse to youtube and click on a video. - Right mouse click on the black area where the video should be playing, choose Settings in the pop-up menu. - Uncheck "Enable hardware acceleration" and click Close. Reload the page.

Goldenghost Posted August 21, 2011 Author Share Posted August 21, 2011 That worked. The thing is that I can play mov videos on quicktime but not in VLC. Why does happen this?
