Thanks again! Here is a screenshot comparing how it looks on my computer. The top is from VLC and the bottom is from Windows Media Player. I adjusted the black level as far as I can without losing detail in the original images and the darkest parts are pretty close to black as shown in the middle between the images. Does it look the same on your computer?

Are you saying the black level should be darker, or the image as a whole should be darker (ie the white levels are overblown)?
