  MPEG-2 and MP4 renders too dark

  Posted by Dmitri Visser on October 21, 2010 at 3:58 pm

  I’ve rendered some footage in Sony Vegas 9.0e, originally captured with my SONY HDR-SR11E. My first test was just a photo slideshow with some music, so no other FX aplied to the tracks. But when I watch the result I can clearly see the rendered video is too dark and little over saturated. I can also compare it to my original footage. Here is a screenshot:

  (The footage in MP4 (H264) compared to the original photograph, note the diffrence in detail in the railroad)

  I always render with the same settings. Just default with some changes to deinterlacing or bitrates…

  It’s the same with MPEG-2. WMV is slightly better, but still some parts are too dark. I’ve reinstalled my codecs turned off hardware acceleration, turned on hardware acceleration, but nothing changes.
  Same results with footage recorded from games, and other random videos. I can’t determine wheter the decoder or the encoder is the problem. I’ve got the K-lite codec pack installed and my pc is running on Windows 7 64-bit.
  GPU: ATI Radeon HD5870

  I hope I’ve been clear enough, since English is not my first language…
