The VideoLAN Forums

I have uncovered the real potential of using command-line with VLC. I have some VERY dark footage from action camera and need to raise a gamma correction to get at least something from the footage. I have tried a lot of software and no one had so good results as when using gamma video filter in Tools->Extended settings in VLC. But this filter is just for viewing videos. It is not possible to use it in GUI when converting/streaming video. I was wondering how to convert/stream my footage with this "adjust gamma" filter. I spent a couple of hours reading VLC wiki documentation and found no solution. Then finally I found solution on completely another website. The solution is to use parameter 'vfilter' in 'transcode' module. The functional command prompt was: I was googling the VLC documentation trying to find, where I overlooked the 'vfilter' parameter and haven't found it. Is the VLC documentation really missing something so important like the only way to apply audio/video filters to a stream or am I wrong?

The documentation is of sub-standard quality.

Hi Jean, would you mind me note the parameter in the wiki documentation? It will not be complete but it will be at least some information there...

It is a wiki!

OK. Done. The usage of ''vfilter'' is now documented in http://wiki.videolan.org/Documentation: ... ne#vfilter.
