When I got the BD back for testing, all the stuff near black (16) has been shifted upward in level. What have I done wrong here? Looks like whatever they're using to create the AVCs is assuming that the input is full range (0-255). If Blu-Ray uses 16-235, that encoder is adding it. If your material already has the 16-235 in it, you're getting a double-whammy and your blacks are getting lifted too high. Probably the easiest thing is to re-send your material to them as 0-255. It's possible they have an option for the encoder to expect 16-235 material, but I guess that's not their default. Brendan |
