What do you mean by distorted. Can you post a video to show us? Hard to diagnose without seeing the symptoms. My off the top of the head guess is that they are interlaced and you haven't checked the "this video is interlaced" box.

From the attached image it looks like a codec problem. When you say you "play DVD movies", are these direct from standard DVD video disks? And what do you have in Settings under the Decoders section? If your MPEG2 setting is on Auto, then what MPEG2 codec(s) do you actually have installed on your system?

I have to admit I'd never tried playing a DVD disk in vMix until now, and on a standard Windows 10 Pro 64 installation it wouldn't play via the "add DVD input" method, giving an error "Video could not be connected. Please make sure an appropriate codec for this format is installed" (which I guess is not included in Windows these days).

However, I could get video direct from the DVD to play in vMix by using the "add Video input" method, having first added "*.vob" to the list of file types that use FFMPEG, and then browsing to the VIDEO_TS folder on the DVD and loading the .vob file(s) directly. It's not a perfect solution, because each .vob is limited to 1GB (about 20 mins) so you can't play the whole of a long DVD, but if it's a short video or you only need a small section it is possible via this method.

Hi!

another option is to use NDI plugin for VLC. Then you play the DVD in VLC and add the NDI input of VLC output into vMix.
