Purevideo brightness setting not retained in fullscreen

centric · 2006-03-24, 17:18

Ok, here's a wierd one for the experts here. Two problems, perhaps related.

First, when I set brightness/contrast/etc settings in Purevideo with Mediaportal in windowed mode, everything works fine. When I switch to fullscreen mode, however, the brightness/contrast/etc settings aren't retained. It seems to go back to default. None of the Mediaportal controls do anything to affect the picture.

If I could get this issue resolved, I'd use Mediaportal for EVERYTHING! It's an AMAZING piece of work!

Second, and perhaps related: I cannot use the Nvidia Navigator in DVD setup. If I do, Mediaportal refuses to acknowledge there's a disc in the drive, and will not play it. So, currently, I'm using:

Video Codec: Nvidia Purevideo
Audio Codec: Nvidia Purevideo
Navigator: DVD Navigator

Troubleshooting so far: tried switching to overlay mode, VMR9, tried switching to Intervideo Navigator, etc. Nothing has yet worked.

Area: Media Portal Program
MP Version: RC2
Skin: MCE
Windows Version: XP Pro, Service Pack 2
CPU Type: AMD Athlon 64 3000+
Memory: SuperTalent PC3200 1GB
Motherboard Chipset: Gigabyte GA-K8NF-9, nForce4-4X
Video Card: EVGA 6200
Video Card Driver: EVGA 81.98
Video Card Resolution: 1024 x 768
Video Render Type: VMR9
Video Codec Type & Version: NVidia Purevideo
Audio Codec Type & Version: Nvidia
TV Card: None
TV Card Type: None
TV Card Driver: None

I hope this is enough info. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

No dice with the registry settings. Also upgraded to RC3. Same problem. Any other ideas, or should I wait until the next release?
