Sourceforge drivers and Color/Brightness Problems

[AlfB]

I installed the sourceforge drivers on my system in order to fix some issues with AVI_IO. They fixed them but introduced other issues. Has anyone had a problem with after installing the drivers, the hue/contrast/brightness/saturation settings changing and the defaults not working correctly. All the settings were suddenly way off after installation. Changing to the defaults made the video too dark. I can get close but it still does not really look right and each channel seems to be different. Any had this happen or have any ideas/suggestions? I am using a Pinnacle PCTV card which is on the approved list. I did not have this problem before the installation.

The FAQ of the btwin site seems to indicate a problem with this. Is anyone else having this issue and if so, what settings for hue, saturation, brightness and contrast are you using to get good video?
