Recorded MPG has Dark Picture

[JLB]

Seems that everything from my PVR500 is showing up dark overall. LiveTV plus recorded shows. Also when playing the MPeg files thru a seperate player 'Media Player Classic' it looks the same. No bright whites and the picture just has no sparkle. Using high recording quality setting.

Is there a way to have GBPVR set the brightness level higher of the recordings or livetv to the recording source (PVR-500 card)?

If I re-encode with higher gamma then everything looks great and is similar to external non PC sources (VCR, video out from Sat. etc) directly.

Somewhere there is a link to the Hauppauge Tweak tool that should allow you to do this.
