I used the VCL player too until...This is how i think it happened though im not really sure....i tried playing something on my VLC player and i think it was trying to update or something so i just let it and after that i played the video again on the VCL player and i only had sound no video so i tried my WMP too and same problem.

First we need to check to solve. But i think reinstall is the best way.
