newbie question filters in vdub

[coorrel]

hi,
just started to encoding my movies into divx format, recently i found most of my backups to be really dark so i found out how to add the filters manually in vdub to encode my movies i have add the brightness/contrast on a notch higher and looks normal now...

There are a bunch of filter in the list i donk know how it works or what does it do...
01. is there a site that explains all the filters in the vdub??
02. what filters does some experienced people here use to smooth out their images without too much blurring and maintain the sharpness...??? some suggestions to the filters to use are welcome...
thanks
