6800 and WMV

Thierry · 08-11-2005, 09:50 AM

My new card works just fine except on 1 thing, WMV files, the colors are all weird and far to bright, but other files work fine, are there any here who have 6800 too and have fixed this?

I have the NVIDIA 6800 GT OC in my system but have not experienced any issues like that. Maybe it has something to do with the resolution and refresh rate? Or maybe you need to have Windows Media Player reassociate all the WMV files? Hope this gives you a place to start but unfortunately I'm not really sure.

Windows Media Player is giving the same weird display of WMV, my card is the V9999 6800 GE, Gamers Edition

It sounds like more of a codec thing if you ask me. Usually when you get wierd things out of movie files this is the case but if it was working before under your old card and you didn't do a clean wipe of windows, might then look towards drivers. Did you completely uninstall your old drivers before putting in your new card? Is the chipset by the same company? If you switched from ATI and didn't uninstall the old drivers properly, that might be somewhere to look too.

Try updating WMP

Does this only occur with windows media video files? Have you tried any other wmv files or just this one? Do you have this problem with avi or mpeg files? If it happens to all video files, then it is probably your overlay controls. Let me know, and I'll tell you how to change your overlay controls if all files are infected.

If it is only this one file, then I'd blame the recording of the file.

Its WMV files in general, AVI and other files work just fine, and yes, my previous ATI drivers and catalysts are uninstalled and Media Player is at version 10.

Thierry · 08-11-2005, 01:38 PM

Damn, I just found out that AVI files give the same problem

Use Winamp, it's windows media that's the problem, or atleast it was here...

Go into your properties of your 6800gt, then hit the color correction area , select the pull down menu and make sure ALL is selected ( for what colors you are wanting to correct ) and then just hit apply, and it should fix it

And it's the driver that has the issue, not windows media.

I have a 6800 and have noticed this problem after I updated to the latest Nvidia driver. The fix posted above worked. The gamma setting in the overlay (3.6??) is what messed it up for me, it could only be set to .5 (too dark) or 3.6 (messed up). Doing the fix reset the gamma to 1. Thanks, Noirutla, I was wondering about how to fix this as I already tried reinstalling the driver and that didn't fix it.

Noirutla · 08-11-2005, 04:58 PM

My pleasure to help..

I was upset about this too when I used the new driver. So after digging around and found out this resolution. I mean who wants to watch washed out porn? heheheh

Thierry · 08-11-2005, 08:36 PM

Yay, setting it to ALL worked here too, THANKS
