Tweaking AVT-8710 TBC for capturing Laserdisc / VHS

Hi all!

For a while, I’ve been trying to tweak my external TBC for capturing in VirtualDub. I wasn’t very satisfied with the brightness / contrast out of the box as it looked too flat. So, I bumped contrast up two and left brightness at the stock setting. I subsequently tested these settings with my STAR WARS Faces LD.

Here’s the result: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B1-W6ByLSZVKejlrcC1paURRUFE

I think the whites are definitely clipped - at least on my end. Should I just leave the brightness / contrast settings as is or do you all think I should tweak it differently?
