When I built my PC form here it was only for an HTPC and now I am having problems with picture quality.
Few days ago I made Divx copies of a couple DVDs which play and look great on my laptop but when I play them on my PC through a Bush SD LCD TV the black levels are so dark it's almost unwatchable. I wondered if it was my TV but then playing the same movies on a cheap Sumvision mediaplayer hooked up via scart it looks normal as it does on my laptop. I've tried messing about with the gfx cards (NVIDIA GeForce 7025) control panel with brightness/contrast/gamma/digital vibrance but it just doesn't do much to the black levels.
I play the movies though MediaPortal and use MPC Mpeg 2 decoder and DivX for H264 but have also tried ffdshow.
