VSG:Video:Dark

Videos are too dark

Often this is caused by video hardware overlay problems:

If it is only one video then use the "Settings" menu, option "Extended GUI" and try to increase the Gamma value in the "Video" tab.

Check your video card settings and turn off hardware video overlay.

If the videos now play with proper lighting, then deinstalling and reinstalling the video drivers might help.
