I've tried all older versions and spent hours looking at this and have gone nowhere. MKV AVC files and even VC-1files look perfect within WMC and WMP64. AVI's and MP4's/M4V's with AVC and XVID still look washed out on flesh tones. It's subtle but enough to bother me, VLC plays them properly.

Any tips on what to look at next? Ive tried every iteration of splitters, decoders, etc and I haven't nailed it, its starting to seem like im chasing a white whale. I've reset all from the interface around 1,000 times and tried different combinations to no avail.

I'm linking two screen shots of a BluRay I ripped, then played it back with VLC and WMP64, if you look at the skin (arm, face, etc) youll notice WMP64 looks washed out.

WMP64

VLC

Any help is appreciated, I know you're busy and any guidance is appreciated I don't know what else to try. This is a brand new HTPC runnning an AMD A8 and an oboard 6550D video card, nothing has been installed except your filters, MS patches, VLC and MediaBrowser.

Thanks again!

Finally found what it was - AMD Catalyat Video quality enhancements, what a tremendous time sink and garbage config

Hopefully I can save people some major grief, just disable the enhancements, screen shot attached.

Sorry to have wasted your time Shark, again thanks for a phenomenal app.
