Converted video has blocks and is to dark - at the beginning

[walzing]

Hi,

I try to convert some TV Shows with handbrake. I did a lot of conversation with handbrake. But with 2 Shows I have a problem.

The first one is a recording from TV in h.264. After converting this Video with handbrake it Looks to dark and blocky.
I attached 2 screenshots and here is the Input and Output:

Maybe someone has an idea how to fix this. I also have this for one SD TV Show (Star Wars The Clone Wars).

Hm,

just for Info - it just Looks this way when playing it in WMP 12.
It doesn't look this way on LG TV (Streamed from Plex) or Media Portal 1.8 with LavCodec.

WMP 12 with Lavcodec seems to work fine.

So it has to be a Problem with Microsoft Decoder
