i appoligize if this is not the are to post this...i didn\'t know if i should have posted it in the general thread or not.....umm and i don\'t know if it is a codec problem really....
any way basically what i want to do is brighten the video that i have used dvd shrink to get off my dvd....
there is a brightness thingy in media player classic that seams to work when i watch the .ifo files...but when i try to convert them using xilisoft with a divx codec it goes back to being really dark and then i can\'t even change the darknes when i watch it through mpc. i use the vmr9 thingo when i use ded shrink....but then i have to use the divx codec when i turn the ifo or vob into and avi.....
geeps i hope that makes sense...it does in my mind  :blink:
anyway so is there a way to change the brightness of the .ifo when i convert it to an avi is basically what i\'m asking....i think....
i appologize if it seams i don\'t know what i\'m talking about...but thats because i don\'t ....

actually i think i\'ve fixed it by using overlay instead of vmr9..and changing my nvidia settings..is there much of a difference?
i haven\'t tested it properly but hopiefully it\'ll work...

ok...yep its not too dark...i know its not the dvd cause it plays fine on my tv....its just the way my comp reads it...cause in the player(ulead) i still have to brighten it a little....but not too much....

i tried changing from vmr9 to overoverlay...and it worked on wmp and real one ect....but as soon as i put the clips into ulead video studio it went back to the original darkness....it isn\'t too dark, i can still see every thing but i would like it lighter...

i will try your suggestion once i figure out how to reverse what i\'ve done with the overlay    although the quality being reduced would be a bummer...is there anyway do change the brightness from the dvd/cd rom?...i\'ll also try dvdx...although does it have brightness options?...if not then i should probably stick with dvd shrink shouldn\'t i?
thanks for your help...hopefully the virtualdub thing will fix it...
i\'ll get back to you  


WOW! thats amazing...it worked....one thing i couldn\'t do was change the divx cinfiger thing...my options were divx mpeg4 fast and then low motion....it would let me change the cripness and smoothness....but not the quality bar down the bottom of the window....and for some reason the avi cam out much larger....
i\'ll go look at some other threads for this i think otherwise i\'d go off topic....
cheers
