VCD is fine on LCD screen and too dark on regular monitors

[sox]

I have no problem ripping, encoding, converting, etc... my VCD's look just fine on my laptop (which is the only computer I have), but when I send them to friends, their 'regular monitors' view the VCD's as being very dark. I just encoded a vcd and viewed it on my laptop - crystal clear. I then moved a 'portion' of it to my work desktop to test it out... and it's very dark. What could be causing this, and how can I fix it? Thanks

As we don't know your process of "ripping, encoding, converting etc"
we can't advise. we are not amused

we are not amused

wow... that didn't sound condescending... i didn't know i was trying to amuse anyone - i thought i had a genuine question and i was just looking for 'any way' to make the movie brighter. anyway, i figured it out. i had read all kinds of stuff on the forum, and couldn't find anything out... and i finally found someone who said to change the brightness and gamma (i'm an idiot - i can't believe i never did that before). but thanks anyway

You missed the ( a wink -= a joke ) It was not meant
to sound condescending. You must be from the US, otherwise
you would have understood about "we" as in the 3rd person and
it's historical basis.

Anyway glad you worked it out.
