DVD/Video too dark

[alt20]

Hi,

When I play mpg videos on my computer I have to hike the brightness fader in Windows Media Player right up otherwise the video is too dark. The DVD software I use however doesn't really have a brightness setting, so watching DVDs can be a bit annoying.

There must be some way of permanently adjusting the brightness to solve this. Adjusting the monitor's brightness/contrast just isn't enough, while adjusting my video card has no effect on the DVD or mpg video.

Anyone any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks

Sense, you're using windows player2, now, as the movie "is" playing. goto, file,properties,advanced, and you can select video decoder and you will see where you can change the brightness, contrast, whatever you wish.

If you dont know where windows media player2 is, C drive then under programs, then media folder. You will see windows player2, just put it on your desktop.
