Options In Media Player Classic?

[EpheMeroN]

I know by going to View\Options\Filters\MPEG Decoder... you can adjust the brightness for MPEG/DVD video, but where in the options can you adjust the brightness for AVI files?

Why not set ffdshow to decode the video and then adjust the brightness there?

I've never used FFDShow before. I've always just decoded AVI files with whatever codec they were encoded with; i.e. an XviD AVI decoded by XviD, a DivX AVI decoded by DivX, etc etc. Is it true FFDShow is lower on resources for decoding? Is there a quality difference?

XviD has brightness control. I think DivX might to.

I almost always use ffdshow for decoding MPEG-4 and never felt it to be a resource hog. But as you said, if you are using XviD decoder for XviD-avi and DivX decoder for DivX-avi, why are you worried about the brightness settings in MPC?

XviD has a brightness slider (as c_d said) and so does DivX (under 'Picture Properties'). I use ffdshow because there is so much more one can do with it - including running avs scripts, manipulating subtitles etc.

Well until recently, I've been using ZoomPlayer to playback my AVI files and it had a brightness control built-in so I was unaware of the brightness settings within the actual decoders themselves. But I did check under the "XviD Decoder Configuration" and there was no slider for brightness. I'm using the Koepi 1.0.2 build. As for DivX, when I click on "Decoder Configuration Utility" nothing happens (just my luck, probably an issue on my end).
