That would be a nice addition to the next flash player. Maybe a right-click menu with a Preferences page.

Select Start and choose Run. Type in ‘dxdiag’ and you can find all your systems info. The information that would be most helpful would be for your video card and monitor.

Hi

I revive this thread because I get the same problem, and it seems you didn't resolved it.

The problem is that we get a picture too dark from video, on Youtube, for exemple. (Use that one if you like an exemple. The problem is not that the original video is too dark, it happen very often http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0gL_pW7hxg&feature=related)

This is related to Flash Player, because I can adjust the brightness of the same video on other programs, like Window media player.

This is a brightness issue because I can get a good picture of said video (on Youtube, for exemple) by meddling with my video card settup on brightness. I can get a bright enough picture by bringing the brightness UP.
Doing this doesn't really resolve the issue, because ALL of the screen get brighter.

I would like to adjust the brightness of the video Flash Player is playing.
Now, I have two questions:
Is it possible ?
If yes, how ?

I often need to adjust the brighness on videos I watch, I was guessing that was normal since the quality the different videos will vary a lot.

I really hope you can help me !

If your seeing this for all video, it has to be system specific. What are the specs on your machine?

Hi garethireland,

Are you seeing a difference with these specific videos, or is it all videos on the web?

Hi All,

Flash Player does not control the video brightness or contrast of video settings. This would first be determined when the video is produced, and after that through monitor / screen settings.

Please send an example URL with a video that I can check on my machine. If it is every video, it is most likely related to your specific system.
