Guys, I took some video clips of a drunken weekend me & my mates just had.....but they're sooooooo dark you can't see em. If I'm in windows media player and I adjust the brightness tho, I can see em okay. I wanna find a way of making em brighter and KEEPING them brighter if that makes sense?! Cuz I wanna put em on facebook lol

Any ideas? I just need a bit of software where I can adjust the brightness or something, and then re-save the video clip. The amount of **** programs I've downloaded to try and do it tho is unreal, and I'm bored of it now!!!

You should have Windows Movie Maker pre-installed, I think in Programs - accessories. Other than that - no idea

One of my mates suggested that, but I can't find a way of doing it in there? If you search for 'brightness' in the help, it says.......

Too bright or too dark. If a picture is extremely bright or dark, the recording may be beyond repair. You can recover a picture by adjusting:
Brightness, to raise or lower the video level.
Contrast, to optimize the number of shades of gray or levels of luminance, also known as the grayscale.
By raising the video brightness setting and optimizing the grayscale, you can correct a dark picture. However, in doing so, you increase video noise because noise is most noticeable in dark areas of an image. It is possible to partially hide the noise by increasing the contrast.

Which......doesn't really say if the program actually does it or not?! Or if it does......HOW you do it!? I bet it's right infront of me but I just haven't seen it lol

If you use Nero 6 it has some tools for doing this I think.
