Media player displaying colors wrong

jozi

(Prob the wrong forum for this, just seems people here are more knowledgeable and helpfull)

Was watching some vids i d/l with media player and noticed colors where coming out wrong, eg in attachment, windows it self looks fine as do games it just seems to be vids it's doing it.
Here's some spec: geforece4 ti4200, samsung syncmaster957p (anyone know what the usb cable is for that can go in the monitor?) Don't think i have the latest drivers, whats the cleaning progy call the get rid of everything after a uninstall?

Yes its the wrong forum, what attachment, more than likely a codec issue, what kinda file is it, details my boy

jozi

Can't seem to get a screenshot from mediaplayer

Black looks purple and red is green thats kind of how it's going wrong.

will try get some shot's from winamp and the classic player

jozi

EDIT: ok it seems to work fine in media player classic!

avi and wmv files

zAbbo

i mean what codec, try installing some of the wmp codecs or better still find a better player

jozi

I think i'd rather a better player to be honest, can't say i like media player at all!

Would the codec's not be fine if it works in the classic media player?

What's a decent clean looking media player that beats the windows one, that a hard thing!!!

I use Power DVD to play everything, but sometimes i use VideoLan, in linux mplayer or xine

jozi

Thanks for the fast replies

Will give bsplayer ago
and one of the other 2 for linux, which ever i can get installed (not that good with linux just yet)

Thanks,

Jozi

Should i delete the tread as it's in the wrong forum?

Well it is the wrong forum, its more software so should be in tech.

BSplayer has been recomended by a few of my friends, might try it out.

PS Would also be a good idea to get the codec's for Mplayer like BazH said........ mite aswell have it workin.

jozi

Still getting weird colors even with bsplayer, going to look for codecs whats the best place?

i am havin a prob with media player also but a dif type of prob i am gettin a internal program error installed and reinstall no joy?i didnt install any new codecs or anything jsut booted up 2 days ago and there ya go

jozi

I installed new codecs, new player etc but that didn't help.
Unistalled everything and then re-installed programs, codec packs, new graphics drivers and monitor driver everything but i still get strange clors no mather what player i use.
It also happens when i play dvd's as i just found out.

Linux plays video's fine so i wouldn't think it was the graphics card.
Hope someone has any ideas to what it could be
