You can make adjustments in TMPGEnc under "Advanced", double click on "simple color correction" and you can adjust the brightness, contrast, etc.. Make sure you check the enable filter box. But a big warning: when you use this function it will make the output mpg file MUCH BIGGER! (Although it doesn't increase the encoding time.)
