problem: 6800 GT video playback

[balefire]

I have a Leadtek Winfast 6800 GT video card and I'm having a problem with any type of video playback. I have updated to all the latest drivers, so I don't know what the problem could be. The picture on the video playback is very grainy and the colors are faded. Playing games is no problem, the problem is anything else such as dvds and downloaded video files. Any help would be appreciated.

On some of the drivers, the default color settings are wrong. Go into "Color correction", apply changes to all, and set everything back to 100%, apply.

Then go to video overlay, set hue and saturation back to 100%. For some reason, the default saturation setting is 114%.

Hope this was it.

Hey thanks a lot kraftmayo, you definitely pointed me in the right direction. I noticed that no matter how close I got to the 100%'s, the graph on the settings page would never be linear. So I tried the settings on advanced mode (it was on standard mode) and voila, the graph became linear and my video playback is perfect. Again, thanks.
