Hi,

in Totem, open the Edit Menu, then Preferences, Then the Display Tab. There, you will find luminance/contrast parameters. You can adjust them while the movie is playing, to see what it does in real time.

The video quality has nothing to do with totem, but comes from the video file itself (and tools/parameters it was created with). A lot of videos are poor quality noawadays, you must search for another one encoded in better quality.

regards,
Olviier
