    dark clips

    I have some video clips that are very dark. Recorded in ASF. I cannot find a program that will lighten them to a reasonable level. They just become whitened but if I play them in windows media player, with slight tweeking of brightness and contrast, they become viewable not great but acceptable. If I convert them to another format then media player will not make an improvement. your help would be appreciated

    download & install 'virtualdub 1.3c', use it in 'direct stream copy' mode to place the video into an 'avi' container (no encoding done, so should be very quick).

    then download & install 'virtualdubmod', and encode. use its 'brightness/contrast' and/or 'HSV adjust' filters to permanently brighten the video to your liking.

      may have to change preferences in vdub 1.3c to "show file extensions" or something like that, that's how mine was...
