Too Dark

[shoobee]

I may have put this in the wrong place...how do you make a avi brighter? It is a little dark to watch. Thx

Welcome! Moved you to our newbie/general forum.

Watch on your computer? then can you change the video overlay brightness under your graphic cards settings.

or watch on your dvd player?

How can I make it brighter when burning it?

You can't while burning it, but if you are encoding it to MPEG-2 for DVD, an encoder like TMPGEnc has an adjustment for brightness. If it's still in AVI format, VirtualDub or other similar programs have filters to adjust brightness.

Generally, when a DVD is viewed on a TV it is brighter than when viewed on the computer. If you are converting to DVD, check this first before you adjust the brightness, or it will be overbright on a TV.

when I download it, it says that it is a avi file, but after it downloads, it says that it is a Windows Movie and VirtuaDub cannot work with that? Thx

VirtualDubMod, maybe? Never tried to open WMV for editing. Usually make or watch them, nothing else.
