Vegas Pro 12 (all builds) MPEG encoding bug
 
Take care, Vegas 12 have MPEG HD for Blu-ray encoding bug!
Original SMPTE Bars (NTSC):

Encoded in Blu-ray 1920x1080-60i, 25 Mbps video stream

Encoding in PAL gives the same picture
Encoding in XDCAM HD 422 or XDCAM EX looks fine
Encoding with older versions of Vegas also looks fine.

Agreed! Seeing same problem her in PAL BD render. Have you filed a bug report with Sony?

Does the bug go away in 32-bit float mode? In 8-bit mode, all conversions between computer RGB and studio RGB levels need to be explicitly specified. This appears to be a design decision made because of the limited dynamic range of any type of 8-bit image processing. Try inserting Sony Levels somewhere in your Video Output FX filter chain and select either the Computer RGB to Studio RGB preset or the Studio RGB to Computer RGB preset as appropriate.

Bug is exactly the same in 32-bit floating point video levels mode and similar in 32 bit full range mode. I never use Computer RGB levels, because they are not compatible with broadcast standards.

Looking at the images again, I see that the white and black levels are okay, so never mind my suggestion about swing levels. The errors in the colors seem too big to be simply quantization errors. Maybe this is the result a Rec601 versus Rec709 mixup.

I got a reply from the SCS, but unfortunately without a solution, just a recommendation to check whether I really have installed the latest version of Vegas Pro...

Long-term correspondence with SCS continues to provide no improvement.

Juris,
Do you really, really have the latest version installed. Have you checked again? lol.
Sorry, have to laugh, tech support at its best.

Since 2002, I am a registered user of SonicFoundry Vegas (v3.0), but so far I have never had need to use the help from the SCS support. However, I know how to find find the About screen :D

The bug is fixed in a build 670 :)

Fixed a bug when rendering MainConcept MPEG-2 files that caused YUV color values from the source file to be changed in the rendered file.

Thx for the heads-up Juris. It took them some time though!
