Hi all. I am having a strange problem with windows media player. It seems to be both darkening and saturating my video depending on the performance settings.
Here is a screen capture with a video in After Effects:

Here is exactly the same thing in the media player (I had to reproduce the results in PhotoShop because with the current video settings the video would not come into a print screen, it just left a black box and when you moved the image around in Photoshop if you slid the blacked out portion over the open video underneath Photshop, you could see it for some strange reason)

When I opened the options in the Media player and went here:
www.paramm.com/3.jpg
and picked this option under Advanced:
www.paramm.com/4.jpg
everything lightened up and i could get a screen grab:
www.paramm.com/5.jpg
Which is exactly what the video looks like in After Effects or Vegas. Does anyone know why be deault with Video Acceleration on it would darken video? Is this a video card/driver problem? I never noticed it until I purchased 2 19" Dell Ultrasharp flatscreens, but I cant see how just different monitors would cause this.
Thanks for any help.
