DVD rip output too bright

I have started to rip my DVD collection, but have encountered a problem. The DVD rips are too bright compared to the original movie. I have tried ripping with both MakeMKV and DVDfab, and it looks the same. The black bars above and below the movie are grey, and this is after only the rip itself, i have not compressed the movie in any way.

This is how it looks like, and i have inserted a black box on the lower black bar to compare just how bright it is:

Can anyone help me to fix this?
