Video files appear dark on applications

[jibstar]

I have a problem when I'm playing video files on different applications like Video editor or Nero, the videos appear very dark when I open them, however if I open these same files with Windows Media Player, the play normally.

Does anyone know what the problem is?

You could try you video cards drier control panel, they usually have controls for brighness, contrast ext. then only apply to video playback.

I tried what you've said, as soon as I enter the driver control panel, the picture appears normal, when I exit the control panel, it goes back to being too dark. I dunno why its doing this.

Update the graphics drivers, either from www.ati.amd.com/drivers for ATi graphics or www.nvidia.com/drivers for nVidia.
