First I've heard of it, but desktop resolution settings being off comes to mind as a possible solution. If you're running an odd configuration it can throw the media player out of whack. The other possible explanation comes from a tech website, copied here:
If this is the case, and upon playback in your video player your videos still look blurry, then the problem is probably that the video is not being played back at 100% the original size at which it was recorded. In most video players you can select View> Options> Playback and set Zoom=100% to fix the problem.
Note: In its default "skins" mode, Windows Media Player 7 has problems playing files at 100% their original size. Most of the time it scales them to a smaller size resulting in image quality degradation. Many times selecting View> Zoom = 100% has no effect.
The fix is to use Windows Media Player 7 in 6.4 mode, to use Windows Media Player 6.4, or to distribute your videos with Camtasia Player.
To use Windows Media Player 7 in v6.4 mode:
Locate and run the file MPLAYER2.EXE that is located in Program Files\Windows Media Player. This will run MP7 in v6.4 mode.
When v6.4 is running select View>Options>Formats, press Select All> Apply> OK. This will set the Windows shell associations to use Media Player 6.4 when you double click on a video in Windows Explorer, or other applications that use the Windows shell associations to launch a player.
Select View> Options> Playback and set the Zoom level to 100%.
If you wish to use Windows Media Player v6.4, you may download it from:

You can guarantee that your videos will play back at 100% their original size by distributing them with Camtasia Player. TechSmith's Camtasia Player will always play AVI files correctly with no scaling. It is free to download and distribute with your Camtasia videos. It is available on our Web site at:

Not sure if this helps bud, but it's all I got...Q
