Dark picture playing movies in all players with nvidia

Hi everyone!
Im having some issues playing movies in arch with the nvidia proprietary drivers in my new desktop box. Im using kde with phonon gstreamer.
The image is very dark with a little high contrast specially the blues, in either dragon player, vlc and smplayer.
Dont have problems with image quality in desktop which is very good. Just happens playing movies. Dont have this issue to with my laptop using ati open source drivers.
In windows, witch i use for some 2d moddeling / 3d rendering and gaming this happened to with default nvidia configuration. But in nvidia control panel there is an option to change color adjustments and changing the dynamic gama from "full (0-255)" to "Limited ( 16-235)" solved the issue. But there isnt this option in linux nvidia control panel!
Already spent some hours searching an trying some things like changing xorg.conf but no success till now. Im using defaults configuration for nvidia drivers (with vdpau-video, no xorg.conf) and default settings in all players in a fresh arch install. Changing brightness, contrast, hue... i can correct the image a little bit but still not the same as windows, i dont consider it a solution.
My video car is a Msi GTX 560-ti linked to a Samsung 2370HD via d-sub with a dvi adapter. Any help is apreciated. I can post some screenshots / configuration outputs but i dont know whitch are needed / relevant. Just tell me if needed...
Thanks in advance

Did you try the colorspace option?
vdpau:colorspace=0(or 1,2,3)
man mplayer:
colorspace=<0-3>
Select the color space for YUV to RGB conversion.
In general BT.601 should be used for standard definition (SD) content and
BT.709 for high definition (HD) content.
Using incorrect color space results in slightly under or over saturated and
shifted colors.
0
Guess the color space based on video resolution.
Video with width >= 1280 or height > 576 is assumed to be HD and BT.709 color
space will be used.
1
Use ITU-R BT.601 color space (default).
2
Use ITU-R BT.709 color space.
3
Use SMPTE-240M color space.

  • I tried exporting my project numerous times, but the first half of my exported movie is all black, with the sound. Can I get some help?

    Hi.
    So I decided to a class project, and found this supposedly great app.
    I imported all the pictures, recorded the voices, and inserted the soundtrack via iMovie.
    Then, once I clicked export and looked at the result, the first half of the product was just all black, with the sound
    About a minute within the project (2 minutes total), than the images start appearing.
    So basically, in the final product, the first half of my inserted pictures are all just gone, and is replaced with a black screen.
    Did anybody else encounter this issue?
    Need Help!
    Thanks!
    (the app is updated to the latest as well)

    I'm fairly certain this is a Lion issue, but I'll post in the MacBook forum as well.
    here's that post:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/17766275#17766275
    In that one I suggested updating to OS X 10.7.3. It fixes a lot of problems, admittedly none of yours specifically.
    I understand your frustration but you should decide upon one thread or another. Since this one has more interest I suggest you stick with this one. Tracking two of them will only add to your headaches.

  • How can I stop screen going dark when playing movies with night sceans?

    When viewing a NetFlix movie, during night sceans, the screen goes dark.

    You don't.
    Usually only the free apps do this, paid versions do away with the ads.

  • Intermittently no picture playing movies in 2.3

    Since upgrading to Apple TV 2.3 occasionally when I start playing a movie I can hear the sound but there is no image. Restarting the Apple TV fixes the problem. The first time I noticed it was when playing Wall-E (puchased from the iTunes Store), but it's also just happened for a DVD movie imported using Handbrake (which has always played fine in the past).
    My Apple TV is set to auto-sync so I'm not sure whether these are being streamed or stored on the Apple TV. The connection is via ethernet.
    All music, TV shows, podcasts, youtube etc are all functioning fine.

    I have had similar sort of issue with playing video files on my AppleTV, whether it be movies, tv shows or music videos, and whether it be streamed or synced. It only usually affects the first few seconds, usually no more than 5, and then plays fine. If I jump back to the start of the video, it then plays fine from the beginning. I don't know if it is some kind of data issue with not being able to stream the data fast enough (either over the network or off local hard disc), but the AppleTV keeps going and catches up eventually with the picture.
    Just my thoughts.

  • Playing .mov files from iMovie with Quitime for Windows

    Hi,
    Been searching but cannot seem to find a straight answer on this in these forums. My wife has a mac, we import all movies on to that using iMovie 08. I want to simply play the same movies on my PC. I copy the .mov files over, run them in quicktime and get audio but no video, just a black screen. Same for any other player. Quicktime Movie Inspector shows the following:
    Format: 'm2v1', 768x576, Millions, 16-bit integer (Little Endian), Left, 48:000 khz, Right, 48:000
    Movie FPS: 25.00
    Playing FPS: 25.00
    Data size: 7.26 MB
    Rate: 5.97 mbits/sec
    Current time: 00:00:10:20
    Duration: 00:00:10:20
    Normal Size: 768x576 pixels
    Current size: 768x576 pixels
    My first prefernce would be to just find a player that I can use to run the videos on the PC without converting them. If not, then if there is a simple way to convert please let me know. I just want to play these files, not edit them.
    Cheers,
    Scott.

    The PAL sized QuickTime file is in its "raw" codecs found in iMovie.
    To view it on any other machine it should be compressed with "delivery" codecs like H.264 video and AAC audio. Do this directly in iMovie.

  • Why is it that when iam trying to play movie in my iPad with netflix, it kept on shutting off?

    What is it with Netflix and IPad that I have to open over and over again b/c it kept on shutting it off when trying to select movies from it's selection. It is sooo frustrating! That is the main reason why I purchased this IPad in the first place. Is it me or other have similar xperience? Is there anything that need to do?

    Are you trying to access NetFlix movies through Safari?  If you are, this is why you are experiencing problems.  Instead, you need to go to the App Store and download the NetFlix App, sign in your account in the App and watch all you want. 

  • Issue when playing movie on full screen with extended desktop.

    I'm running Itunes on Windows and I'm using a dual monitor configuration. When I play a movie and go to full screen, Itunes will go full screen on the current screen but also will set black the second monitor. So, when I go full screen I lost the second monitor. Why!!?
    Is there any way to go full screen without touching my second monitor? I usually see movies while I do other stuff in the second monitor.

    lame.. but how come its not the same in all cases. if I view
    the flash video on nbc.com that will full screen in the extended
    desktop, as will youtube
    whats the difference in implementation?

  • How to automatically play movies

    I have the setting in Player Preferences selected to Play Movies Automatically under the Browser tab. But, the video will not play unless you click on the play button.
    Any info appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Hi - my notes on this.
    Play all resp one chapter at a time
    Play All Button 
    1. There are NO - Play All - button in any version of iDVD
    2. It can be faked in several ways
    • Easiest and most fault proof way is to make a doublet movie containing All and with
    Chapters set to match. It will take up x2 space but is easy to understand and produce.
    Cons: Tried this in iMovie’11 by Exporting out each part as a full Quality QT.mov then Importing back into new events and putting these into a new project (Play All project). Resulting DVD had Audio that was OK (as parts) - BUT the picture was very bad and standing photo were cut of in hight. So the Play All movie has to be created from same material and exactly in the same way as the individual parts + then Chapters has to be set to match.
    • It's said that one can put all movies into a Photo/SlideShow and this will also
    give the function of a Play All button - Tested - and ONE HAS TO un-cheque - Scale pictures to TV-Safe area else it will be a black frame all around and a small picture !
    Mike Evangelist1
    You might be able to get close to what you want by using a slideshow in iDVD. (It's not widely known, but you can put videos in a slideshow.) If you set the slide duration to manual, playback will pause after each movie/slide, and you can continue with the 'next' button.
    3. Using another program to do this e.g.. Roxio Toast™ where there is a Play All button option.
    Summary
    a. Making a Play All movie with same care as the individual Part movies - gives a very Good Result
    b. Using Roxio Toast™ - also an usable way to go
    Yours Bengt W

  • Itunes wont play movies

    Can anyone help me ? my itunes which is version 11.0.1 wont play movies at all and i dont know why doe sanyone know why this is doing this ?

    I am having the same issue. I just rented Superbad, and now I can't get it to play. I don't even get a window to open like it's thinking about playing. iTunes just accesses the store, then does nothing.
    This is driving me nuts...

  • Black bars on TV when using MHL adaptor and google play movies

    I have tried the Z2 tablet using a sony MHL IM750 adapter with different TVs and monitors and it is always the same the black bars are on the screen at the side of the mirror on the TV. Using my old galaxy nexus phone with the MHL adapter I do not get this problem it fills the screen fully.
    Also if I try to mirror google play movies through the tablet with the MHL adapter I get an message that it is not secure and it does not allow it to happen. Yet when I do the same through miracast with my LG TV it works! seems a little odd but something to do with HDCP I guess. If I mirror google play movies through my nexus phone on  a tv it works fine.
    ILooking at a past post I believe that the lack of full screen mirroring was a problem with the tablet z that got rectified by a firmware update lets hope the same happen for the tablet z2.

    I used google and found something in the sony z tablet forum. 
    I think its a problem with the solution and you have to change mhl settings but i cant find a way to change.
    Here is the answer i found

    Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.In the update to Android 4.3 it's possible to adjust the video output size for MHL. From the notification bar you can select MHL settings and then video output size. If set to 100% i have no black bars when testing here.
    Looks like a general problem with tablets that have a higher solution than 1080
    Should be possible to change the output format to 1080 
    It would be nice, if i get an answer so i can understand whats the problem and if there will be a way to fix it.
    Sorry for my bad english 

  • I started making a movie and all was well. I added a few more pictures and some sound and played it back. It plays so far and then the pictures break up into colors and then the screen turns green.  The sound continues.

    I am making a movie from still pictures. I used no theme and then started adding pictues. When I played it back, all was well. Then I added a few more pictures and some sound. When I play iot back it plays just so far and then the sound continues, but the screen turns green or the pictures break up into colors.

    Sorry, everyone.  I think I may have figured out what it was all down to...........
    I had left the IDE ribbon cable plugged into my third HDD, with the power cable unplugged.  I did this so as not to endanger my years of work on the third drive, until Windows had setup.  I have in the past, accidentally chosen the wrong partiton to format, so this seemed a good way to avoid it from then on.
    This was not a problem on my old system, but it seems this system doesn't like it.
    I must have left the drive completely unplugged, the times Windows did setup.  Amazing really.  I couldn't see the woods for the trees.
    Anyway, I'm sorry to have bothered everyone with my problem.
    Cheers
    Marcus
    edit :   Sorry Syar2003, I didn't see your reply until I had posted mine.  Many thanks for taking the time to try and help me, it seems as though I may have sorted it now.  I am using IDE drives until I can afford SATA.  But many thanks for the heads-up on the NF4-SATA compliance, I'll be sure to bare that in mind.
    I didn't actually check the NVRAID/IDE ROM version before updating the bios, so I have no idea if the revision was changed when Liveupdate flashed the Bios, I'm afraid.  I didn't know they would be updated at the same time.
    Again, cheers

    I have just now tried the Reinstall via iTunes, about 20 into the download, the iTunes logo on the phone disappeared, and the Apple Logo appeared again,,, I waited until the iTunes stated that the download had finished, and the install was in progress,,,
    Nothing happened, still the Apple Logo was visual on the screen, iTunes never recognised the phone which it was on my iTunes account previously,,,
    Still just a bunch of lines, maybe 5 or 6 so small writing,, I personally can not read what it is telling me, someone said it reads, incorrect shutdown,,,????????
    Please advise,???
    I am now at a loss,,, I really became excited when I saw the iTunes icon after putting the phone into restore,,,???
    Thank you again

  • Moving LR5 catalog (Irdata & Ircat) to a new hard drive and photos. Lost all meta data - How do I move meta data along with catalog?

    I moved LR5 catalog (Irdata & Ircat) to a new hard drive and photos. Lost all meta data - How do I move meta data along with catalog?
    The meta data for each image is missing.
    I have over 2,000 images. I don't want to go back through each image and add meta data.
    Is there some way to move everything?

    No, do not re-import your images. I assume you can see the thumbnails in the library module, just cannot access the full images, right? If this is the case there should be an exclamation mark in the top right corner of every one of your pictures and you only have to tell LR where the images are now.
    Click the exclamation mark of one of the images and a dialog window should pop-up, telling you that LR cannot find the file, but with an option to locate it. Press "Locate" and navigate to the folder on your new HD where the file is. If in the new external HD you kept the same folder structure that you had on the internal disk, LR will be able to find all your images and re-link them to the database without further intervention.

  • I want to move the location of my iTunes library music files. At present they are all on my time machine . I want to move them all to my imac. Can I do that and keep all my playlists and play counts? Thanks in advance

    I want to move the location of my iTunes library music files. At present they are all on my time machine . I want to move them all to my imac. Can I do that and keep all my playlists and play counts? Thanks in advance
    its 1000s of songs . Originally I used the time machine as a networked drive but it can cause the songs to pause so I'm thinking it would be better to have the songs on the internal imac drive
    how can I move the songs so I can re-open iTunes and the playlists (with plays in the 100s) find the song in the new place?

    Do you mean on your Time Machine backup drive? Or are you actually accessing the backup? In either case you shouldn't be doing that. If you haven't space on your HDD to store the iTunes Library, then at least put it on another external drive.
    Since you did not provide any information about what's actually "on my time machine," here's what you would do. The entire iTunes folder should be stored in the /Home/Music/ folder. Within that folder you would have three folders: imm Media, iTunes, and iTunes Playlists.

    Thanks jonmac22

    Hi Everyone,
    hope this message finds you all in time. The recent Apple TV update 5.1 is terrible. Apple knows it is which is why (thankfully for some relentless user -I have no idea who but I believe it was under threat) they have allowed to sign 5.0.2 again which means you can downgrade your Apple TV 2 and 3 to a 5.0.2 version via iTunes. Who knows how long they will keep the window open but I have downgraded my ATV early this morning. I couldn't post this earlier because I was out all day but I am doing it now.
    Here's how to do it:
    1) Connect your ATV to your computer via a Mini USB (not included with ATV but included with many other electronic devices) - in order for your ATV to appear in iTunes you must FIRST plug the USB cable to your computer and ATV and only THEN plug the power cable.
    2) Download your ipsw restore file from Apple.
    5.0.2 (ATV 2): AppleTV2,1_5.0.2_9B830_Restore.ipsw
    5.0.2 (ATV 3): AppleTV3,1_5.0.2_9B830_Restore.ipsw
    3) In iTunes select yout ATV, hold SHIFT and click on Restore
    4) Find and choose the downloaded IPSW file in the Open Dialog Box and hit Next
    5) As long as Apple still signs that version the Restore process will begin and will take a few minutes to complete.
    Enjoy!
    raadore
