VLC media player for Windows Troubleshooting • Displayed colors are slightly wrong



Hi, i noticed that there are several cases where VLC does not display videos correctly.

One example is a “boring” h.264 sRGB video file that i rendered and exported with Blender. The file itself was fine, as i could re-import the file into a new instance of blender’s video editing workspace. I can also render a single still frame and save it as a PNG to get the same colors.

Howewer in VLC (and a few other video players, but thats another story) the colors are slightly off. I just did a reinstall of the latest stable VLC with deleted cache and preferences, so i hope that no misconfigured settings are involved here.
