Contrast and Brightness on existing MPEG

[telpsar]

Have used Virtdub in the past and was starting to wonder if there is a better/quicker process to adjust the Contrast and brightness on an existing Mpeg. The Mpeg off the VCD is too bright and I am looking for a process to reencode without having to go through the process of running it through Virtdub and then back through into an Mpeg. Or, just suggestions of what other people use in this situation.

You can use TMPG's color correction filters if you dont like to use VD or any other video editor.
