Help! DivX Playback - White isn't really white.

[muzicman82]

I've encoded two DivX videos at 8000kbps on the Extreme Encoder setting using 2-passes. The purpose is for near HD quality display on a 50" plasma. I used the native resolution of the plasma (1360x768). My render was sent to VirtualDub from Premiere Pro 2.0, using DebugMode FrameServer. Everything went fine. The videos play fine, and with the except of my problem below, they look great!

My problem is that white doesn't really appear white. I'm playing back with VLC Media Player, but the same exists with DivX Player. When I playback, and take a screenshot where I know had a pure white background, it lifts off of my screen being #D6D7E5. If I import the video back into Premiere Pro, it looks like it should, so it seems that my encoding is fine, but players don't interpret the colors correctly?

I'm using DivX 6.4, Premiere Pro 2.0, and VLC Media Player 0.8.5.

Are you sure you don't have any post processing enabled on VLC?
DivX codec/player has some post processing on by default.

I haven't turned any on. Where should I look? My VLC installation hasn't been touched since the install, so whatever is on by default still is. Is there shouldn't on by default that would do this?
