Camcorder 16-235

[Chris Clementson]

My scope has been extensively tested in many different ways including checking the input file using MediaInfo and the ffmpeg scope. It works flawlessly. MediaInfo does not tell you the maximum and minimum Y, U and V values in a file; my program does.

You still don't seem to grasp the fundamentals of pulse-code modulation and digital video and the applicable standards, sorry.

So you still recommend this camera to him while you do know his current camera's already meet his only requirement, yet you expect me to

Not sure how anyone can take you seriously...you might want to look into the mirror to see what a troll actually looks like.

If you are so sure about your own findings then do like Rainer suggested and get a camera where you can set the scale to 16-235 and then prove he is wrong.

Enough out of you.

Stow it, please.

I'm kinda impressed myself!

Well, good luck in finding answers to your questions with that kind of attitude.

He probably isn't buying any camera least of all one that anyone else suggests. Like I said before internet forums are for arguing and debating.

Noa, he's not looking for any real answers and hasn't expressed a scrap of gratitude for other people taking the time to offer help. Not even to Chris Young, who went way beyond the call of duty with his lengthy reply. People like him think they knows everything already and just want to argue when presented with facts. If he is so smart, it makes you wonder why he even posted in the first place where he's sure to only get half-assed suggestions from morons like us.

Agree, seems to be just here for a technical discussion, I tried to give some helpful feedback but looks like he doesn't appreciate anything and is not willing to accept anything from anyone. Well, I"m out, wasted enough time. :)

OK if selectable between 16-235 and 0-255.

Thank you.

What has not been metioned I don't think is why such a specific specification and what is the purpose, and also to video what that requires that output.

Having had 3 different camcorders over the past 12 years I find it hard to justify a particular requirement.

He was just a troll that has since moved on. Good riddance.
