7600GT video playback problem

[neil27]

Morning all


Noticed last night when i was going to watch a film last night on the pc the video was a horrid colour...was very dark and the people looked red.



Will put some screenies up later to show you what I mean, I see you can change setting in the nvidia setting but surely you shouldnt have to be messing with all that crap.

ok i tried to take a prt screen screen shot...but when i past it into paint...there is no picture at all everything else is there apart from the film.


any ideas

Try using PowerDVD. That has a screen cap function. Taking screencaps by hitting Prnt Scrn while the video is playing in say, media player doesn't work, as you noticed.

 

[neil27]

nope, is the same with power dvd



will have to take a photo of it

Have you changed video drivers or directx recently.

 

[neil27]

well iv installed directx 9c when i installed flatout 2, but that was on a cfresh install of windows. I assume I dont need to install the previous versions? Also installed the latest nvidia drivers. I could unistall them and try the ones that came on the cd.

 

[wizardmaxx]

A couple of guys have complained in the past about dark video playback and found it was the nvidia drivers. Hope u come right

 

[neil27]

hi just uninstalled the drivers and rebooted, just played a film with no drivers and its perfect! so it must be the drivers, will try some different ones and report back!

 

[neil27]

well i put on the drivers supplied with the card and they are fine, dropped about a 100marks on 3dmark05 thou.

Good thing you sorted it, in case you need to know fraps can take screenshots of video.
