Please define "green blotches."
I have a 2400pro with XP. The only codecs/filters for video I installed on the latest fresh Windows install is CCCP. I play x264 stuff all the time. I don't recall if it had the problem with x264/h264, but I did get green or black screens on HD mpeg2 (but I don't think ever on non-HD mpeg2) when mpeg2 hardware acceleration was turned off on the card in the registry.
Thing is, mpeg2 hardware acceleration is turned off by default on the 2400 pro. I didn't touch any registry settings on the current install, so my mpeg2 acceleration should still be disabled. I think I only ever had the black/green screen problem in PowerDVD, and in GBPVR using certain video decoders. I use MPV video decoder now and as far as I recall I've never had any problems with it.
I bet Michael Bay uses GBPVR because it's awesome:
