XP MCE 2005 Issue

[MDE]

I'm having some trouble playing back videos in Media Center. Any kind of video that I play has a reddish hue to it, but when I try the same videos in WMP10 they look perfectly normal. Any suggestions?

MCE uses VMR9 renderer for media playback which isn't supported on 8500 cards. MCE requires a DX9 class hardware card for proper video handling, so I guess you're lucky it works at all, a diffent decoder may help a little, but a video upgrade is probably in order.

Well that sucks... I guess I should keep my eyes out for a cheap FX5200 or something.

I fixed the issue by changing a setting or two in the Divx options.
