  mpeg2 saturation..?

  Posted by Johan Hoogendoorn on September 21, 2008 at 4:50 pm

  Hi,
  When I export from the timeline to Encore, the quick way, no settings, the colors on the resulting dvd are too saturated.
  How could that be?
  regards,
  Johan

  Probably because there is a bug in Premiere that causes incorrect conversion between the Rec.601 <-> Rec.709 colorspaces. There is also a problem in how RGB graphics are handled in an HD project.

  Basically, Premiere seems to be blissfully unaware that there are 2 different color matrix specs for HD and SD material and so treats everything (color-wise) as if it were SD. This causes color mismatches in the following situations:

  1.) HD footage used in an SD timeline
  2.) SD footage used in an HD timeline
  3.) HD timeline exported as SD
  4.) SD timeline exported as HD
  5.) RGB graphics used in HD projects for HD export

  Do any of these apply to what you’re doing?

  Hi Dan,
  Thanks for your reply.
  It’s a PAL widescreen project.. using PAL material
  i made a screenshot.. https://www.flickr.com/photos/10752691@N06/2878681410/sizes/o/
  Encore letterboxes it to standard dvd resolution (no widescreen)
  do you have any idea?
