Movie too dark after encoding with TMPGEnc

[roach76]

Hi, I just ripped a movie and encoded it with TMPGEnc. The problem is that the movie is too dark! When watching the source video playback it looks nice and bright and when I preview the movie in TMPGEnc using the preview option it looks just as good.
But when I encode it, the resultant movie is too dark.
Some scenes in the movie at night are just too dark. What do I have to do to fix this problem?

Thank you

I just fixed it!!

I turned off the setting I normally use "Open YUV data as Basic YCbCr" under "Quantize Matrix" Tab.

I think what happened is (anyone can correct me if I'm wrong) in DVD2AVI I set the color space as YUV and I don't think it likes to be converted. That's just a guess, I could very easily be wrong.

Or................theres another way to do it(easy way) when you get the Movie on a disk (vcd or xvcd ect.....) well then you can bring up the brightness on your TV before watchin the movie...then lower back to what it was before after your done.....simple as that

Go to settings, advanced and dclick on "simple colour corection". There cnange the setting to you're desire. Encode a minut and watch the result on you're TV. This way you get it as you like.
