Contrast loss when converting mts file using Movie Maker

I am trying to convert some mts files captured with a Panasonic Lumix G5 camera using Movie Maker on Windows 8. Everything works great, except that the output video shows some visible contrast (and perhaps saturation) loss (not terrible, but noticeable).

 

I tried both mp4 and wmv as outputs (and several output profiles) I see the same problem.

 

When I play the original mts files directly using the Windows Media Player, contrast is fine.

 

Any idea how to fix or control this?

 

Thanks,

Adrian
