Hey guys, new to the forum, although I wish I had found this place a loooooooong time ago. Lots of good info here. Could have saved a lot of time if I had showed up sooner haha
My problem is that lately my video files have been playing far too dark (heavy on the 'Red'). I first noticed it after attaching a 2nd LCD monitor to my video card. (NVIDIA 6800GT). Both DIVX player and Windows Media Player have the problem, but with WMP, it will sometimes correct itself if I play with the 'Track Position Slider'.
I searched the site, but didn't find any answers (and my eyes started hurting after 11 pages of searching :s). NVIDIA didn't have any answers, and neither DivX or Windows Media had anything relevant.
Any ideas?
When I disabled the Dual-Monitor mode, it fixed itself after closing and re-opening the video file. I tried it with a number of different files with different codecs, so I don't think it's a codec problem, and when I show the file in "Thumbnail" view, it shows it proper color, but looks dark when playing it.
I'll try to grab some screenshots when I get home from work.
I guess I COULD just disable the dual-monitor, but the whole point of getting a 2nd monitor was to watch movies while checking email, or net browsing.
