Codecs and Studio/Computer RGB conversion at DVinfo.net

Robert Wheeler · August 18th, 2007, 04:03 PM

Ok, I'm working far too late trying to understand something I've probably never got right. Can someone confirm these flows for colour conversions for me please?

1) Source = HDV or DV -> Mpeg 2 (DVD Architect widescreen setting) = No change (studio RGB -> Studio RGB)

2) Source HDV or DV -> or Windows Media Player V9 = Studio RGB -> Computer RGB

3) Source HDV -> or Windows Media Player V9 (Advanced Profile) = Studio RGB -> Computer RGB

Am I right?

Thanks for any help,

Rob,

That should be right.

This assumes that you are encoding out of Vegas, and NOT Windows Media Encoder. In WME, a different codec may be used (e.g. the microsoft DV codec, which operates with 0-255 levels).
