[QUOTE="UndaC, post: 23813, member: 15895"] I just thought I'd drop a few lines about this as well. I recently began using MP and the first thing that struck me was the "incorrect" brightness/gamma/color. VMR9 is not to blame for this as Overlay, VMR7, VMR9 Windowless and WMR9 Renderless and VMR9 Renderless Exclusive (ie the mode that is "silently" activated when recording or timeshifting) all exhibit the same problem. Also in ZoomPlayer, WMP10, MyTheatre and all other thinkable applications this problem does not exist for me (or rather it's not anywhere near as bad as in MP). It's only in MediaPortal. For an example I just watched a gardering program running letterboxed on a 16:9 display (ie black bars on all four sides of the picture). The black bars to the left and right of the pixture were as black as can be (ie blanked out I presume) but the black on the top and bottom were grey. When recording a snippet of the show and then playing it back in ZoomPlayer everything looks just fine, the black on the top, bottom, left and right all have the same "intensity". Now of course you can make it go away by adjusting brightness/gamma/color for the codec or in general in the windows settings or even your desplay but problem is that it will make everything else (ie everything but MediaPortal) become way too dark.
