I've tested various movies, and it seems that color settings only work with DivX (AVI) and MP4 (ASF) movies.
It doesn't work with AVI using Indeo, Radius.
It doesn't work with XP's MS V2.0 MPeg1 decoder, then not with VCD's DAT files.
It doesn't work either on DVD VOB with Cyberlink's Mpeg2, despite the fact that colors settings can be altered in the decoder properties.
(I have no XVID or OGG movies for test)
If you want to see how Colors settings work, play a DivX movie.
- Select Color settings in the Movie window menu.
-> Whatever the video surface, RGB or Overlay, BPlay will display a green scale on the movie (not on TV), ranging from -128 to 127. With Left and Right keys, you can move the cursor. With Up and Down keys, you can scroll thru Brightness, Contrast and Saturation.
Make sure that in the Quality settings of the DivX decoder properties, the "Yuv extended mode" is not checked. If you check it, the decoder warns you that color settings will be disable ! And indeed, Bplay will show the scale but moving the cursor will have no effect.
