vob to avi... (avi darker than vob)

[chance_]

is that normal? the vob is much brighter than the avi... i have to actually go into my graphics/video card options to up the brightness so it makes the .avi brighter... any idea how i can keep the original brightness when converting? i'm using ImTOO DVD Ripper 4.

The brightness shouldn't change unless you change colourspaces or do some kind of filtering that effects it (tweak, levels, etc.).

Guess it is possible for a codec itself to effect brightness, but XviD, DivX, x264, etc. don't and since they all use YV12, same as DVD, no colourspace conversions are required for encoding.

there's something in the properties i can change that have filtering... would it be luminance filter? anything else you see that would keep original brightness?

The point is that if you do nothing, the brightness should be the same. You shouldn't need to be changing things.

Perhaps try another app. Like AutoGK, FairUse Wizard, AVI.NET or StaxRip.

i converted to mpeg-2 instead and although the quality wasn't the same (not that bad) the brightness didn't change. weird eh. plus the file size is smaller. i just wanted to send it to someone that's all... to show them a part of a movie.
