Just use the Brightness control in the Proc Amp for the left edge, and the contrast control for the right edge. Adjust each as necessary so that the histogram is just inside the red marks. Then you will not have any blowouts.
If you don't have red marks, you'll see the blue start "building-up" against the limit, as though there's an invisible wall there. You don't want too much of that. Bring left edge or right edge of the histogram back towards the central area so there isn't a large build-up.
Arr, yes, I see that. One of the reasons I don't use VDub; too many unnecessary complications. Just use the Proc Amp controls.VD has a level option in the menu it gives you access to brightness and contrast without having to go into proc amp
That's entirely up to how the current captures look. You could post a 15 second snippet here for the experts to analyse; they will tell you how "legal" your levels are.Will I need to recapture
I as said before, you can use the Colormill filter in VDub to adjust the levels. But if you have areas of pure white ie blown out then you won't get those back. But then those areas may be so unimportant that it will not be worth the effort in re-capturing. Cost-Benefit-Analysis and all that!

I did that today started with the brightness left edge then contrast right edge, the histogram blue line is in the middle, I have just left it like that and started capturing, can't waste too much time on such petty things I've tried my level best.
I do see a red mark on the left hand side but the blue line is not going into red, I tested it for 1 min before capture.
That's what I've done graph studio open saved filter then open virtualdub turn on histogram test then close graph studio and start capture. I am recapturing my movie with the correct levels this time I didn't have graph studio set up when I captured it first time.
I tried to download it once the download was on a Russian site and my antivirus said its not safe download blocked.
I'm going to leave it for now and work with graph studio this is a much safer option.
Another issue I have is I've tried of the dreaded window 10 updates but they keep turning back on during capturing and asking me to restart, I have disabled update all services but they keep turning back on, do you know how to turn them off completely? -

Drop each one into the appropriate "plugins" folder in your VDub folder. They'll then appear in the "Filters" list. -

TBH, I've never worried about this. I don't generally use the PC during a capture, but it could be doing things under the hood I don't know about. -

Tried all that the one week option is no longer highlighted because I have already used it once.
I've tried to disable it from tak mgr to stop and disable but it keeps turning back on.
I hate it, I haven't uploaded my film capture PC in ages, because it could break old drivers to capture cards -
Says file not supported when I tried to download
Will try and sort this out, did you download from the russian website?

Be mindful of the 32 and 64 bit versions. You can rename the plugins so you can keep track of the 32/64 bitness of them ie put them in the correct plugins folder. -
