DVD brightness on a laptop

How can I increase the brightness in the image of a DVD played on my laptop?
The computer's built-in brightness controls (this is a Winbook J4, so it's Fn-F8) do not affect the brightness of the DVD image. Of the three DVD playing applications I have (RealPlayer, Windows Media Player, and InterVideo), none seem to have a brighness contol.
As fate would have it, I'm trying to watch DVDs of Six Feet Under...a show with a lot of literal darkness in it. But even the bright scenes come out pretty dark. Am I screwed?

Response by poster: Excellent. It was under 'video setting' and not 'overlay,' but you led me right to it. Thanks, Dipsomaniac!
