Brighten up a Dark Video Using VirtualDub

Do you have some dark videos which you would like to brighten up so you can see them better? Let's lighten them up!

Steps

Get a software named "VirtualDub" from http://virtualdub.sourceforge.net/
Launch VD (Virtual Dub) and open your video file.
Re-compress the video and audio. If you skip this step, the output video size will be colossal (a few GB if is a long video). Choose a codec to compress the video (if you have divx on the recommendation list)
Do the same with audio.
Go to the video/filters (Is at the same place where you went to compress the video...you did that right? ) Add the brightness/contrast filter.
Raise the brightness or contrast as you wish. Try some combinations until the output is the way you want.
Go to File/Save as avi (or press F7).
Virtual Dub will start to process your video. Wait for it to finish. This may take long or not depending on your video length.
