Watch these two screen shots comparing dark scenes in Sherlock Holmes with Apple Quicktime, VLC (x264) and YouTube:

The Apple Quicktime video looks absolutely awful, VLC (x264) a little bit better and Youtube looks a black as I want it. Any intelligent person here who knows why it is like this?
Can you in any way get the YouTube picture in VLC?
Not much use in buying screens for thousands of € if the signal you send to it looks like this.

Re: Washed out blacks playing H.264
Are you using an nVidia card?

Re: Washed out blacks playing H.264
I have exactly the same issue with an NVidia 9800 GT- it looks like it's been a problem with VLC for a while since at least Feb 2009 (see this thread viewtopic.php?f=14&t=56336&p=186836&hil ... ut#p186836 )
you can fix it by disabling hardware YUV>RGB conversions in Tools>Preferences>Video
The Windows 7 Microsoft decoder and ffdshow do not have this issue.
