Hello and thanks for your interest.
It’s not actually a ‘work’ problem, just a playback glitch that occurred a long time ago and I didn’t really put too much thought into it. I thought it was a codec problem but every time I install a new one everything stays the same (default settings). It’s kind of annoying because practically all DivX/Xvid files have messed up brightness. I know I could correct this in the codec’s settings but shouldn’t it be ok when freshly installed? I mean, what is the point in releasing video codecs that ‘distort’ your video files?
MPC is actually a quite good player. It’s fast, reliable, opens most file types (video/image) and, from what I know, is still being developed. I’ll try with some other player when I get back from work but I remember myself trying out a few of them a while back and everything was the same… Didn’t try VLC though, I’ll check that out later today :].
