I've got a serious problem and if anyone knows the solution please reply.
I have no problem with converting between types. I've read all of your guides and most of your forums. But I couldn't find an answer. Here is my problem:
When I convert from any type to MPEG-1 with TMPGEnc, resulted video gets darker. I mean not too much but in some movies you can not see anything in some scenes. I've tried color, brightness and gamma filters but I couldn't solved my problem. If anyone knows a particular list of settings that can be used for all of the movies to eliminate the dark please reply.
Thank you.

That is a bit confusing the way u said that, is MPEG-1 your imput?? or output??

If output then what is your input?? (sorry for all the input/outputs ;-) )

Sorry about the confusion. I've ripped a chapter from a DVD movie, decoded audio to .wav by using DVD2AVI and used the .d2v frameserver file generated by DVD2AVI. Like I said the problem is resulted MPEG-1 file is darker than the original DVD movie.

Ah well unfortunately there is not a lot you can do about that. I have made a lot of MPEG-1 VCD's in the past and almost all of them had that result, some scenes that were dark on playback. I find SVCD much more reliable!

Thanks Dela.
I tried to increase brightness but it didn't felt right. It seems still something is missing. I mean color levels still don't match. And you can realize it when you put both videos on the same screen.
Anyway, it seems to me that I have to keep trying to find the exact combination of filters but it wouldn't be easy...

yep more than likely unfortunately!! I think SVCD is a much better option, its weel known that mpeg-2 is better than mpeg-2 by far!
