You can convert it to jpegs with something like RAD Video Tools or
VirtualDub then use irfanview to make batch adjustments & convert back
to avi.

Can't VirtualDub do the colour correction as well? I'm not a user, but I
seem to recall it had the ability to do this.

You can use IrfanView to extract stills from a video - but as far as I can
tell, there's no way to combine them back into a video, which is a shame.

Yep, VirtualDub has a built-in HSV (Hue/Saturation/Value) filter and you
can install additional colour correction filters as well - such as
Donald Graft's RGB filter:

The above is the advice of an inexperienced troll who does nothing more than
spread misinformation to usenet because it has nothing better to do and likes to
think it knows something about photography. Ignore it and all its posts.

Now for even better advice.

There are hundreds of plugins for VirtualDub that will do exactly what you want.
Every plugin and editing tool that you have for your favorite photo editor are
also available for editing video frames.WITHOUT having to disassemble the video
into single frames. (What an amazingly stupid idea that is, just when you
thought you've read them all.) Not all VirtualDub plugins are hosted at the main
site, search for them. Some plugins for free VirtualDub do more than any of the
best video editing programs sold today.

For example, if you have a digicam without IS (image stabilization) look for a
plugin for VirtualDub called "Deshaker". It gives you IS for your videos.

"LogoAway" is a fun one too.

If only there was a usenet "TrollAway" plugin for Usenet so you could
automatically filter out the idiots that continually spew their misinformation.

Wow, you made a special name just for me in this thread. I figured in
rec.photo.digital there wouldn't be hardly any replies to a video
question so I offered what little I knew. Thanks to others for clarifying.

Nice to know all those plugins exist!

PS Most newsreaders have filters and I always use my real name.
