How to fix brightness level?

[GameOver69]

Hey i just used dvd shrink to make dvd files to burn it to a dvdr. Now before i burned it i tested it out to see how good the quality was, and its great, just that the movie is very dark? Is there anything i can do to fix this , like use a program to edit the brigthness level or a setting? Thanks

Oh and when using shrink, i didnt save to an image but to folderso n my hd..> Thanks again

burn to a rewritable disk and check brightness in your set top player. pc viewing usually displays a darker image....

Yeah but when playing the original dvd it wasnt that dark..... do u think it will be fixed once its burned, or can i adjust it with some program before i burn it.

You could dissasemble the finished DVD file, run it through an encoder, loose quality and spend several hours trying.....Or just burn it to a RW as rcb suggested and see if it is really dark. A computer monitor is not a good way to judge the brightness level of a video file that you are going to watch on a TV.

Yeah, have to agree with the what the guys said above. The resulting picture on your com screen would be darker that what appears after you have burned it on a disk and view it on a TV screen.
