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.

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.Last edited by Drexya (2011-04-14 12:53:19)
Sorry for my poor english.

Tried in terminal: smplayer vdpau:colorspace=0 but it does nothing, the image is the same with either options. I think the problem must be system wide and not player specific. Maybe an option in xorg.conf? Any other sugestions ?
