I do this the same way. For some reason, the videos are dark when |
| 28 |
played through youtube or any other site for that matter. I can |
| 29 |
download them and open them in smplayer and they are bright and look |
| 30 |
fine. This happens in Firefox and Seamonkey. I never have been able to |
| 31 |
figure why they are to dark tho. |
