How to edit MPEG brightness?

[blujackets]

Is there any freeware available that will affect MPEG brightness, contrast, sharpness, etc? If not, reasonably priced software?

TMPGEnc is great for multiplex operation, cutting and merging. But, that's all. Thanks anyway.

In TMPGEnc clic on settings clic on the advanced tab then double clic on basic color correction you can adjust brightness, contrast, gamma, red and blue.

Sure, you can not "edit" brightness, contrast, sharpness, etc of a MPEG. You have to reencode. And as far as I know, TMPGEnc is a MPEG encoder with 2 colour corection filters.

Xmpeg has luminance and bbmpeg plugin.

You cannot change brightness, color, sharpness or anyhting else without reencoding the whole file. So, make sure everything is correct before you encode to mpeg.

But will it loss the video quality after re-encodered by TmpgEnc?

Of course you will lose quality if you re-encode MPEG. It doesn't matter which MPEG encoder you use.

Thus, skittelsen's point: make sure everything is correct BEFORE you encode to MPEG.
