DVD Player looks crappy

Most DVDs I play with DVD Player look like crap all the time. A lot of blocky weird fuzzies go on the image. I can play the DVDs in VLC and the image will be perfectly fine, but I'd prefer to use DVD Player. Anyone know anything about this problem?

You may have corrupted either your DVD Player or QuickTime.
 
Try deleting com.apple.DVDPlayer.plist from you ~/Library/Preferences folder. That might do it.
 
You wouldn't happen to have a Radeon 8500 card, would you?

Report on ATI 8500 card/DVD Player problems w/Tiger - (From a reader mail - I don't have Tiger running with an 8500 card to check this)

" Would you please run a feedback request for Radeon 8500 owners trying to use Tiger's DVD Player. I have read about 5 owners of such cards for whom it is impossible to use Apple' DVD Player. (I know one owner personally.) The picture is heavily pixelated and the sound is scratchy. Using an alternate player help.
The problem could be in the driver or the firmware of the card. I have mentioned the problem to Bruno at ATI. The problem occurs with 10.4.0 and 10.4.1.
Thanks, Ronald L. "

I have Tiger but the DVD player looked bad in Panther too. I tried making a new user and the DVD player image looked the same. I do not have a Radeon 8500 card. The sound is fine.

Is it possible that there is something wrong with the hardware? It seems weird to me that there would be since using VLC to play DVDs results in perfect image quality.
