Codec Recommendation for WMP 11
I had to reformat my C: last week and now that I have all the windows updates, I have windows media player 11. For some reason, when I click on videos on my computer, the brightness on that video will be EXTREMELY DARK. The brightness settings are normal, too, and not low.
This darkness also happens with VLC. For some reason, not MPC. But I don't want to use MPC. So: Does anyone have any CODEC recommendations? Jam it back in, in the dark.

MPC is excellent in the fact that it will play anything. I just don't like:
1. Clicking the window pauses it. When I want to goto full screen, I don't want to pause the video and unpause it. WMP11 doesn't do that. 2. I like seeing the exact time left of videos and WMP11 lets me do that. My favorite is to see the number drop. 3. When I want to find the "20 minute, 0 second" time mark, for example, using WMP11 it tells me where I am exactly when I'm moving the bar left and right. And that's it. Just tiny things that matter to me. All the players are great. I just like a couple small things better about 11. Good news for me though: I ended up going to my nvidia settings in the display options. I found "overlay controls" and was able to kick up the brightness to the level in the middle (from where it was at the very left). The overlay control kicked up brightness for all things behind the desktop. That is, videos. So my K-Lite codec pack is fine. There's nowhere I can't reach.
