Did you preview the script before encoding ? in MPCHC or Vdub2 ? If you don't apply QTGMC (comment it out) is it still "very dark"? If not, it's not QTGMC, it's something else

Thanks for the response. Answering your questions:

You can see the difference between the source and the darkened file here:

Darkened by QTGMC: http://www.mediafire.com/file/0ioccj...QTGMC.mkv/file

No. It plays darkened on several different computers as well as a file played through the TV.

I don’t think so. I've used the same x264 settings on all other video with no problem. I’ve also tried other filters, such as TFM() and smdegrain() and the video turns out normally (same as source).

If you mean: “is QTGMC working correctly?” then no, because I can run other video through with QTGMC and it works fine.

I hadn’t tried that, but just did so with AvsPmod. It does not have the darkened image when viewed this way.

When QTGMC is not used, then the video is not darkened, as mentioned in reference to TFM() and smdegrain() use. I think you meant the reverse of “If not, it's not QTGMC, it's something else” …right?
