OK, so I'm beggining to get my dvd's put onto the MCE PC but I'm finding some differences in the picture between viewing in MCE and WMP and can't fathom why.
It's difficult to explain in words, just look at the photos...
1. AVI in WMP
Notice the non-black bands top/bottom of the video, not worried about them, but look at the actual video section, the black is BLACK.
2. VOBs in WMP
Again, look at the video portion, the black is BLACK.
3. AVI in MCE
Now, look at the screen, the black in the video section is NOT black anymore, it is lighter, the bands top & bottom are black
4 VOBs in MCE
Again, as per image three, the video section is not black, it's not actually 'blue' either, thats just the camera, it's the same 'light' color as in photo 3.
Generally I've noticed that when watching movies thru MCE the colors seem 'washed out' a little, but are fine when viewed thru WMP.
This is all on the same pc, currently connected to the screen via vga whilst I await the dvi/hdmi lead.
At first I thought it was to do with the ripping of the dvd to avi, but you see I get the same problem with both the original dvd and the ripped avi.
What is causing this and what can I do to get MCE to show black as BLACK like WMP?
Thanks
Chris
