filters/brightness

[doby]

im wondering what i would use to darken an overbright SVCD i have?

much thx in advance!

You either have to darken it during playback using a DirectShow filter, or you have to re-encode after applying a filter. Which one were you interested in?

its the reencode option i would be going for, also is it possible o only apply a filter to parts of the movie or does it just do the whole movie?

much thx!

You'll need an MPEG encoder such as TMPGE if you want to decode and then re-encode an SVCD. TMPGE has a template that will help you to easily make the SVCD. For decoding, you can use DGMPGDec. For the actual brightness correction, you can use filters in Avisynth. I believe TMPGE itself may have a filter that can do it when you re-encode.
