i did a system recovery a while back, and after i got everything set up again i noticed that my windows media player was kinda messed up. the movies it played were all super-light, and had a wierd, sort of "solarized", terrible-quality look to them. i checked all the settings, like contrast, etc. Even winamp had this problem, so i suspected it was some codec thing. i downloaded divx for .avis, but they look bad too. what's going on?!!
