HELP playing movies via windows media player is too dark in Audio/Video Chat http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r17015131 en Thu, 03 Dec 2009 14:34:48 EDT Thu, 03 Dec 2009 14:34:48 EDT Re: HELP playing movies via windows media player is too dark http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17019832 anon : I've tried that... the problem is with the driver itself. The easiest way to solve the problem is to just switch to a working old driver.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17019832 Tue, 03 Oct 2006 12:11:48 EDT Re: HELP playing movies via windows media player is too dark http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17019474 Sir Raleigh : Somewhere within K-Lite there might be some controls for brightness, contrast, gamma, etc.

I don't have K-Lite installed, so I'm not sure. It's just a guess.

However, I do have ffdshow installed, and it does have those controls.

I've researched the problem further more and realized that the nvidia driver is the source of the problem. I simply uninstalled the driver and installed an older version. If anyone encounters the same problem, make sure you just uninstall the driver and install an older driver (version 84.21 should do).]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17018224 Tue, 03 Oct 2006 02:10:45 EDT Re: HELP playing movies via windows media player is too dark http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17018172 swhx7 : Is this only on Windows Media Player, and other players are OK? Or is it too dark on others as well?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17018172 Tue, 03 Oct 2006 01:48:07 EDT Re: HELP playing movies via windows media player is too dark http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17018118 anon : I have installed K-Lite yet I still have the same problem. I would assume that it's not a codec problem.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17018118 Tue, 03 Oct 2006 01:27:41 EDT Re: HELP playing movies via windows media player is too dark http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17015789 Sir Raleigh : Have you installed a codec pack like K-Lite, or a codec filter like ffdshow?

Also, what is the format of the video, XviD, DivX, etc?

I wanted to watch one of my movies so I plugged the movie in but the screen was too dark. I tried putting in another movie but the same thing happened. Everything is too dark to be viewable.

Any ideas??
