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??
