Messed up video quality

[vermilion_]

Hi, I really don't know much at all about video stuff (I hope I'm even posting this in the right section).

I got a new computer a couple of days ago, and I can't play any video files properly. When I'm watching them it's like the contrast or the gamma or something is way up because they are very bright and kind of pixelated sometimes. (The odd thing is that when I took a screencap as an example, the quality of the image was perfectly normal)

I thought it might have something to do with codecs, so I downloaded the K-Lite Mega codec pack thing but that didn't help any.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
