Media Player and Youtube - video playback problem
Not sure which forum section to place this in.
My pc is Win 7 64 SP1, all updates (including video drivers) should be there.
I don't go to Youtube a lot, but tried this morning, and the video was extremely dark (normal audio). Strange, but the teaser commercial on some of the videos was fine. Tried Media Player as well, same issue.
I do have a FLV player, and if I use that to open the MP4 files on my computer, that works.
I suspect this is a codec type issue, which I admit I am a novice at. Don't think it is a Flash setting, as Media Player has the same issues.
The only "strange" thing I have done is when downloading a file to upgrade my camera software, it was in a VLC format. I thought I had to download a VLC player, and there were some configuration screens that tried to associate everything with the VLC player. Turns out that I didn't have to do that, and my camera recognized the file and finally got it uploaded to my camera fine. Removed the VLC player.
I had Shark007 codecs once on my PC, haven't for awhile.
Would appreciate being pointed in the right direction.
Thx
