So I ripped a bunch of my blurays and they all have the same issue.

When I open them in media player classic, windows media player, vlc or any other player they have super washed out colors and look like they are covered in a grey cloth. I can see the image so its not a bad rip or artifacting and the black levels on my monitor are correct and I can watch other video with no issues, its only the mkv files.

I want to use them on my plex server and when I looked at them in plex is where I first noticed it.

I have googled a bunch of different fixes and updated my codecs and messed with a couple different things but its a no go so far. Just seems strange, I am going to check and see how to save a log file, I'll up this as soon as I can figure out how to do that as well.

If you're dealing with non-HDR video, have you calibrated your screen colors recently? They're probably WAY out of spec, and simply opening the monitor's settings menu and resetting to default will make a MAJOR difference.

Your'e no help at all. He explained that it only occurs during playback of MKVs.

Oh and your post is so much more helpful. Thank you for your contribution to this discussion.

To OP:

Have you tried any other MKV creator apps like MKVToolNix to create an MKV file from the same source? Is it the same exact result?

I simply ask as it may help identify/narrow it down to see if it’s MakeMKV causing the problem for you or ALL MKV files from ALL sources in general.
