I am having a problem viewing video on windows media player and quicktime. The colors are not correct. It almost looks like a negative image except it's red and black not black and white. Any ideas as to what the problem might be? TIA This post has been edited by rsderrick: Aug 18 2008, 02:45 PM |

A little bit more information for everyone. While trying to edit some video in Pinnacle 12 last night, while trying to capture video from my dv camera, I noticed that the capture window had the problem with being able to view the image properly. It look like a reverse image or negative. Lots of black and small amounts of color (Color is on the edges of objects in the window). Once the video was captured and while playing it back I didn't have any problems viewing the video. It's almost like the problem resides in the video that is being streamed.
Anyone have any ideas? This post has been edited by rsderrick: Aug 29 2008, 09:50 AM |

Philip,
It looks like installing the new driver solved the problem. I put in a DVD and it worked properly. Before it was messed up. Thanks for the help. I appreciate it. |
