I recompiled a number of video programs and related stuff, and after a reboot its all back to normal. The reboot would have fixed it. Programmes like xine use Xv overlay to do their video output. This has video controls including colour settings very similar to a TV set. If they get set wrong you get no colour, or some other weirdness happens. When you rebooted the overlay controls will have got set to sensible defaults. -- Ian. EOM -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
[gentoo-user] My movie clips have lost their colour
Hi, Ive recently rebuilt a few things and Ive just noticed that my movies (the few clips that I have are mostly MS AFS and avi are all greyscale) have no colour! This occurs with xine and totem - mplayer is going through one of its always segfaulting stages so I cant tell if its related to this problem or not. The only apps I can think of that were relevant were win32codecs and ffmpeg which I am currently rebuilding but dont think will help. Any clues that may help welcome!

My immediate thought is that the colour settings for xv overlay have got messed up. In xine have a look at the xine Control Window. That should enable you to make some sensible settings. If you don't mind a text programme have a look at the output of xvinfo. -- Ian. EOM -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
