...I need some.

Specifically, I need to increase the brightness/contrast in a low quality .MOV file that I took using my digital camera.

If neccessary I could probably convert the file using one of the millions of free convertors.

Thanks.
 
This would be the first place I'd look. I'm afraid I'm too lazy (and it's 0300 here) to look through them now.

Cheers,
Rat.
 
Might be a reach but could always try tucows.com and the like.
 
Thanks, guys.

I did a lot of hunting around, but anyithing I downloaded turned out to put "Buy this product and send us your bank details" (or something like that) across the video.

In the end I downloaded a convertor and used windows movie maker, which has a very basic increase brightness option, but it did the job.

If anything on Sourceforge asked for payment (other than giving a link for voluntary donations) I'd be surprised. Everything on Sourceforge should be open source.

I had similar issues when looking for a free mp3 editor. Finally found one on sourceforge you can find anything on that site if you keep digging.
 
Kino is a good video editor for *nixes. It's on sourceforge. Under linux it will grab video from a DV camera and export to a image that can be burned to DVD.
 
Just wondering if you tried Microsoft Movie Editor. Comes free with XP. You'd have to convert the .mov to .mpeg or .avi but I just download a different free 30-day trial converter each time I need to do so. My camera (Kodak) also only records in .mov files, I convert it, and Movie Editor works fine. I've played with the Patterson-Gimlin film this way.
