Hi,
Can anyone suggest a free, easy to use editing program to lighten a very dark video clip (mpg)? I tried Virtual Dub, using both levels and brightness/contrast filters but preview came out kind of foggy. I saved it anyway as an avi file but the changes didn't show.
What are some other good programs to use?
Thanks!
Gail

You can try AviDemux.
Load/drag the mpg file into AviDemux.
Set the sidebar menu:
'Format' = 'MPEG-PS'
'Audio' = 'Copy'
'Video' ='DVD (lavc)'
Under 'Video' click 'Configure' and set the output Aspect Ratio
Under 'Video' click 'Filters' > 'Colors' > 'MPlayer eq2'
Adjust as required and 'OK' and 'Close' back to main screen.
Back at the main screen, click the 'Save' logo and give the output file a name.
Include the extension in the name - e.g. new_file.mpg

Wow, thank you so much for providing the detailed instructions in addition to the name of the program. I confess I downloaded Avidemux but I couldn't figure out how to use it.
Thanks again. I'll give it a try.

attar,
I feel really stupid, but I can't seem to get to the contrast, brightness, etc. page. I followed all the steps you gave me and I get all the way to clicking on colors and then selecting MPlayer eq2. But when I click on it,the Brightness screen does not appear. Nothing happened so I double clicked it and I got a fatal error message.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Gail

What happens when you double click the 'Contrast' filter instead?
