I have an image to show you how vlc plays the same video compared to windows media player and also premiere pro cs5.5 fromwhere the wmv file was created.

You can see the vlc is very milky compared to the wm player.
I tried to find some gamma setting or some way to tweak the levels but could not find them. Im sure they must be there, vlc has a LOT of advanced settings and video gamma is not that advanced

Thanks guys,
Mark
PS, this fourm seems to crop the images on the right hand side, so please make your browser full screen to see the wmedia and premiere original.
