if you have the proper graphics drivers installed , like from a cd or the makers website try this, if you are using basic built in windows drivers you probably wont have this option. right click on deskstop, select properties, select settings, select advanced, now do you have some tabs one of which may say 'Overlay' or go into the tabs you do have and find Overlay, you can then turn up the Overlay brightness. You will need to have the movie running in media player whilst you do this.
