Great question! Even before I read your question I bagan to wonder if I was mis-diagnosing my problem. My main concern was that when I used the NVIDIA control panel to adjust gamma and color settings these did not effect the video coming from MP. It does however properly adjust when I use MS Media Player, VLC, or env the WinDVD player.

I am thinking now that this is not indicative of the GPU not being utilized for video acceleration, but something diferent. I came to this when I purposly turned off HW Acceleration in the WinDVD player and I was till able to adjust the settings from the NVIDIA control panel.

Bottom line is when using MP for videos (DVD or otherwise) the picture is too dark. I do not have this problem after adjusting the NVIDIA settings when I play using other players.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled every codec and WinDVD..and still no change.

Thoughts anyone??

    Are you possibly adjusting the video overlay settings as MediaPortal is not using overlay for video but VMR9. In that case try adjusting the 3D / desktop settings.

    I guess that did it! :D

    I haven't come across any of my players that didn't utilize the video overlay. I wasn't aware that VMR9 was exclusive of the video overlay. I wonder what the downside of that is...

    Anywayl, I can now see those dark scenes I couldn't before.

    Thanks!
