Wrong colors w/ Videos - Gforce 8800 GT
This has been an on going issue - from ubuntu, to Mandriva. When ever I watch a video, anime in particular there is a blueish tint to everything. Other colors are sometimes off also: green is pink, for example.
I thought that perhaps it was ubuntu, but now it's also happening with Mandriva (2009.0 free edition). So I'm starting to think that it's more a hardware issue. Desktop, and everything else is fine. Geforce 8800 GT 256MB - Dell Inspiron 1720 Videos are XVID/DivX Any ideas? |
What drivers are you using ? nv or nvidia ?
|
Not entirely sure at this point. I selected the option to install the proprietary drivers version: 177.70.
Already getting annoyed with Mandriva... Too many issues. But that's another story. |
Ok, now does this happen in all media players ? Like mplayer, xine, VLC ?

Had a problem with all players in Ubuntu 8.10: the colours where completely wrong for xvid. I followed the solution suggested here and it solved my problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=620912 Run gstreamer-properties and select "X Window System (No Xv)" instead of "Autodetect" for the "Default Output". hope this helps, cheers. |
