DVD/Video too dark

[alt20]

Hi,

When I play mpg videos on my computer I have to hike the brightness fader in Windows Media Player right up otherwise the video is too dark. The DVD software I use however doesn't really have a brightness setting, so watching DVDs can be a bit annoying.

There must be some way of permanently adjusting the brightness to solve this. Adjusting the monitor's brightness/contrast just isn't enough, while adjusting my video card has no effect on the DVD or mpg video.

Anyone any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks

You have to adjust overlay brightness\contrast for this stuff,not
the desktop color ;)
