I've been playing with a new SLR that also happens to record movies.

When I try to view a movie using Movie Player, it plays fine, and the sound is there, but the colors are off - green grass is purple, and my golden retriever is a blue retriever. VLC reports that the file is broken, offers to repair it, and plays it with the same problem.

The same file plays fine under WinXP with both Media Player and Quicktime, and with no problems under MacOS also with Quicktime.

What's the problem, and how can I fix it?
