I have an nvidia GeForce 7600GT running the latest drivers (from 12/2007).

Here is another piece to the puzzle:
If I play the video from within Windows Photo Gallery, it plays with the
correct colors.
If I play the video from within Windows Live Photo Gallery, it plays green.
If I play the video from within WiMP11, it plays green.

Any ideas?
