video tint

when i play a video there is a purple tint to the video. there never was one before. i tried 5 different players and the tint was still there. i looked through the options but didnt see anything about it. only thing i can think of was a codec media player downloaded a few days ago. i fouind my codec list, but didnt know what the latest one was. does anyone know about how to fix this or have experienced it?

Would be nice if you told us what you where using.

the programs i tried were windows media player 9, divx player 2 Alpha, winamp 2.91, winamp 3, windvd4 and power dvd. it was the same for each one

I think you were on the right track with the codecs. List them here please.

Can you post a link to the video? Also when it is open in WMP9 go to file > properties. It should tell you the codecs. The basic ones I would make sure you have are the latest Dixv, Xvid, and ac3 filter. They are the only ones I have installed and I have yet to have a problem playing a movie file.

here is all the codecs i have installed:

DivX MPEG-4 Video Codec (Fast-Motion)
DivX MPEG-4 Video Codec (Slow-Motion)
DivX 5.01 Codec
iccvid.dll
Indeo video 5.10
ir32_32.dll
ir41_32.dll
MS MPEG-4 v1,2,3 driver 4.00.0.3688
msh261
msh263
msrle32.dll
msvidc32.dll
msyuv.dll
tsbyuv.dll
XviD MPEG-4 Video Codec


and it wasnt just with one, it was with every video clip

this happens with ALL videos, no matter what format? it's not a codec then.

check your video overlay settings.

thanks for the help.
