    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.

Video Brightness, Contrast Controls?

I really miss the video controls in the old QT6 Pro - such as control over brightness,
contrast, etc. I still have QT6 in Classic, but it's a little too slow for HD vids.

VLC provides some of these, but they're often grayed out when I select them. Can
anyone suggest a movie player that provides these controls? Or a stand-alone app
that lets me apply corrections to the entire video?

I have several home videos made with older, lesser quality cameras that need some
tweaking for sharpness and contrast. I'd appreciate any help, suggestions.

Have you tried iMovie? Worse case scenario, you could tweak those during an export.

As far as the "too slow for HD vids" comment goes, it is likely your computer is a bit short on horsepower.
