Londo Guest | I have the same problem. Inverted colors. Using a Thinkpad 600E laptop. No fancy video cards, just a built-in Neomagic adapter to drive the LCD screen. Windows media player works fine, so it’s VLC and not my hardware. I am mrcomputerwiz (at) hotmail -dot- com.

thedude Guest | I found this page by googling my problem. Everything was purple and yellow and f’d up. It turned out that my hardware acceleration (option in WM player) had been turned down...presumably because I was watching news stories online earlier, anyway, turning it back to 'full' brought my video playback back to normal.

Calum Guest | Ive also been having this problem for sometime
How would you do the graphics card thing on an Nvidia card?

PaulGrant Guest | Thanks guys! I also thought this was a codec problem, but nope, turns out it was a video card problem. My display control panel used to have hardware acceleration at full (no problems). I slid it down to off (severe problems). And just like that, .wmv files played normally again. I slid the control back up to full (no problems) just to see what would happen, and as it turns out, .wmv files still work. It doesn’t make any sense, but whatever, as long as it works. So thanks for suggesting the problem was hardware related. It was.

vDownloader - vHack Guest | 1. On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Performance tab.
2. Click the Advanced button.
3. In the Video Acceleration area, uncheck the Use video mixing renderer check box.
You might have to play around with the settings a little bit, but this should get it going.
Well, now it’s up to you to try it out.

notyourbroom Guest | I had this problem, but I FIXED IT:
I turned off “Windows Media Video Acceleration” and it 100% fixed the problem.
I’m running Catalyst 6.12 (I think... The latest 6.x version, anyway) on an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro. The setting I disabled in in the advanced view, at the bottom of the Video - All Settings screen.

Matt8119 Guest | I have an ATI Radeon X300. To cure the “inverted” colours I changed the settings within Windows Media Player 11.
Tools > Options > Performance > Video Acceleration > Advanced > Untick 'use video mixer rendering'.

blackjack2150 Guest | I had this problem, but it only manifested itself when playing some video streams from the internet. The solution in my case was installing Media Player 11. (I previously had version 9)
Hope this helps.

Ahab Guest | Had the same problem in three different players after installing a new video card - Sapphire Radeon X1650 Pro, AGP. Found that a similar solution to Matt8119 worked, when I went to the Catalyst Control Centre, Avivo Video, All Settings and scrolled to the bottom of the section, where I unticked the 'Windows Media Video Acceleration' box. All players worked fine after that.

Go to your graphics card options.
Properties for overlay, restore standards.
Go to color adjustments, choose overlay and play around with contrast and light until you are satisfied.
this was on a Geforce 7900GT, how this is don on a ATI card i don’t know.
This is the solution, I had the same problem with inverted colors on dvd playback and other formats, go to your graphics card’s options and reset the settings for overlay.
I have Via ProsavageDDR integrated graphics.

o38 Guest | Had the issue playing video captured by a DVR/survalince app, Pico2000, after installing MP11. I had already rolled back to MP9, and the problem continued. After reading comments here I dissabled video acceleration and it was better. So I uninstalled my nVidia drivers and the video played in VGA mode, reloaded MP11 then loaded my nVidia drivers and all was right again.
Looks like it is a driver problem caused by the MP11 codecs.

ZX9-Ninja Guest | Excellent post Obi Wan Celeri. I found the 'Windows Media Video Acceleration' in the Catalist Control Centre/Avivo Video/All Settings. As soon as I unchecked this box and applied the setting my videos colours are now all fine!!
Thanks for your advice.

Flakker Guest | I had the same problem with an ati 3650. Like some of the others, disabling “windows media video acceleration” inside the avivo section of the catalyst control panel sorted it. Thanks everyone.

Thanks dirle! This has been bugging me for a while; the colours in my movies were all wrong (I don’t know how to describe it in English - they were more grey than colourful if you know what I mean).
My fix was to go to the NVIDIA control-panel and unhook “Apply these settings to all video technologies”. Now my colors are back to normal again. Thanks!

Grams79 Guest | I have had the same problem several times.
Mostly when viewing the DIVX Web Player normally embedded on someone’s website.
The video would play and the sound was fine.
However, the video was in black and white.
Why would anyone encode a video without color?
Solution A:
Update your video card driver.
Drivers can be located on the manufacturer’s website.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_card
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Device_driver
Solution B:
Update your video codec(s).
Codecs can be updated threw the media software used.
Common codecs are installed on most operating systems.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_codec
Solution C:
Go into the options for your video card.
Locate your “video settings”.
Change the “Saturation” to 100% and save.
Have a good year!
