How are you judging the saturation? Comparing your computer monitor to the TV?

Hi Mark

Sorry i can’t give you an answer for your problem but maybe you can help me out.
You get an increase in colour sturation, I get the opposite – a reduction in saturation.
Can you tell me the settings you use in Vegas and DVDA. I would like to check them against mine.
My dvd’s ebd up with a black level too high [not black] and a reduction in saturation and I cant work out why.
Thx if you can.

Hi Geoff, I cannot give you my Vegas settings because I use Premiere Pro to edit… But I usually make an AVI of my time line using the Microsoft DV codec ( I think is the same in vegas) and import to DVDArch. On DVDA. I just burn it out… Some times I increase the standard bit rate just for test… but doing this I never saw big differences…
Just for contribution I would like to say that my blacks is not all black too… I don’t know why my black level always still hi when I make dvds usig DVDA. I will tray some day Encore… just to see if have any difference…

Sorry can’t help you too…

Nope. Vegas uses the SONY codec by default which holds up much better than the Microsoft one.
