I'm pretty much a novice at this, so this may not help at all, but have 
you looked at the viewing options for your DVD player? I have a Sony 
DVD player and it has several viewing "presets" you can choose that 
alter brightness, contrast, black level and some other parameters. 
These make a big difference on some of the DVDs and VCDs I watch, 
particularly ones I've burned myself (commercial DVDs seem just fine on 
the default setting).

I'm not at home right now, so I can't give you any more details, but if 
you want (and I remember) I can take a closer look at the settings and 
what they do tonight when I'm home.
