PotPlayer: how to enhance video brightness?

[falco2000]

PotPlayer has brightness, contrast, saturation and color controls, plus some filters like "Levels" for automatic brightness adjusting.

But IMHO it lacks a good function to control the brightness of medium-intensity colors (I mean the ones between brightest ones and the darkest ones).

Gamma correction or something like that.

In a dark movie, for example, if I slightly increase the brightness, pure black becomes gray, and it's very ugly. If I play with the contrast value too, I get a better result, but very poor if compared with what other players offer. There isn't a way, as far as I know, to brighten the pictures with a good result.

Does anybody know a solution to that?

Thanks a lot.

Not an (ideal) solution, but it's what I would use: ffdshow raw video filter.

I should have started this thread in the newbie forum... What do I have to do to use FFDSHOW in PotPlayer?
