People, including myself, have previously asked how to control the video parameters, e.g., brightness, contrast, color, etc. Â I have found that I can control the video parameters by using not only the picture controls for my graphics card, which affects the whole desktop disply, but also using the picture controls that are used by the codec that is rendering the output video. Â In my case I am using the PowerDVD codec, and when I adjust the picture settings in PowerDVD and store them, they affect the playback in GBPVR. Â I beleive, that if you use the Intervideo codec that came with Win2000, that the video controls there (under MPEG settings) will be picked up by the codec when used in GBPVR) Of course, you can also adjust the parameters of your display. Â Together, you should be able to construct a pleasig display. Â Keep in mind that different channels, and even different shows, seem to have different inherent levels of brightness and color, so a setting for one channel or show may not be as good for another.
Sub has also indicated that there are values in direct.ini which can be used to adjust the display but I believe it was previously posted that changing those settings will change what is recorded as well, while changing the other places I mentioned won't.
