For some reason when I try to force Overlay Mixer in MPC it'll warp my hue/saturation settings for my nvidia card really weirdly, it'll either set both to 0% giving me a pure grey box for video or it'll set an extremely high setting for both like 15985% and give me REALLY weird looking video. If I just open the nvidia control panel while it's playing it'll change from a pure grey box into grayscale video, then I can set both the hue/sat back to normal and it'll play normally.. until I open another video file and it'll mess up everything again. This happens with ffdshow, xvid and divx decoders, and winamp works fine with overlay enabled.

If I use VMR9 it works fine but VMR9 colors look so dried up and bland, VMR7 works fine and has the color just like overlay mixer, but I want to use overlay mixer for pure speed, and I'm pretty stumped as to why MPC do something to cause my hue/saturation settings to go all funky..

I've tried nvidia drivers 53.03 56.56 56.64 56.72 and 56.82, same story with all of them..
