There is a really annoying problem with Quicktime H.264 encoded movie playback on some Windows PC's and the latest Quicktime player.
Whilst enjoying the latest trailer for Batman: The Dark Knight, it finally did my head in and I had to find a fix. So, follow the steps below and you'll have those crisp blacks with deep colours, instead of that horrible washed out grey.
- Go to Edit/Preferences/Quicktime preferences
- Advanced tab
- Uncheck both:
- Enable DirectDraw acceleration
- Enable Direct3D video acceleration
- Restart and enjoy
You could just buy a Mac. Or not use Quicktime.
