Hi
I took a VHS tape of a 1980's silent home movie put in my VCR and recorded
it to my stand alone DVD player/recorder.
DVD player is Liteon
When i play the DVD on TV or PC it is very dark in allot of clips (but so is
the original VHS tape)
So before I give copies out to my kids I was wondering if there is a way to
lighten it up allot and also add background music.
It is pretty boring watching a silent movie!
Thanks in advance. BTW I also have a DVD burner in my PC
I have WINXP home.
Thanks in advance.
