Gamma differences between Mac and PC

Due to the gamma differences between Mac and PC, if you're editing on a Mac, and distributing for viewing on a PC (as most of the videos I edit are,) you may end up with users complaining that a video is too dark on their system. I found a great page with instructions on how to fix this on Kenstone.net To paraphrase... Gamma @ 0.8 Brightness @ 5 Contrast @ 10 Obviously, these are starting points, and you should adjust as necessary, but it worked like a charm for me.
