Hi everyone it's good to see you

Can anyone tell me if there is a way to adjust the brightness and contrast controls in Media Player Classic? I'm getting pretty sick and tired of watching video in this player and being stuck at a set brightness and contrast. If I cannot figure out a way to adjust these settings I would like you guys to please recommend an alternaitve player.

And yes, WMP9/10 on my PC is busted. Some kind of complicated error I dunno....

Bump. Bishopt or Dragona, don't you guys use MPC?

I just tried loading a video in MPC and looking for an option to do this, but I could not find anything


There were some Brightness/Contrast settings in the Options under MPEG Decoder, but they didn't work...perhaps because I used an AVI file?

Unless you do video editing, uninstall your divx/xvid codecs and install FFDShow . You can adjust brightness, gamma, whatever through FFDShow.

I just downloaded FFDShow and I don't understand...where is the player.exe?

It's just a codec for DIVX/XVID.

You still use MPC. FFDShow acts on behalf of a whole shitload of codecs, and the image/audio of your files are rendered via DirectShow, I know for a fact it works in MPC, but I'm pretty sure it works through a whole host of other players.

Goto Filters, Overrides. Add ffdshow. Now open a video, goto Play- > Filters, select FFDshow and adjust the brightness from Picture Properties.

Edit: I have not tried all the filters, there mightr be one just for brightness.

Hmm, well I selected the various FFDShow dll files and then went to mpeg decoder and adjusted the brightnes and contrast but the picture has remained unaffected. Is there a particular dll or ax file in my ffdshow folder I need to select?

Thanks man

It's too bad Bishop and Dragona are using Media Player Classic without this FFDShow plug in.
