from DNxHD to DVD with Procoder.
I would really appreciate the gelp on this. I cant seem to fix it on my own..
OK, after deciding to go with Procoder 3 to encode from Avid´s HD codec DNxHD to SD mpeg2 for a DVD, I cant get a good quality mpeg2 .
A bit of background: I need to do the best quality DVD possible from a Project I cutted in Avid. The final result is a Quicktime referente form Avid that references the DNxHD media inside the project. (HD footage)
NOw…. I did lots of test and most of my problems come in the form of wrong Black levels or color. I would either get washwed out blacks (whit CCE or Squeeze) rersults or too much contrast (all this depending on how I export from Avid (601 or RGB.)
So I found that by using Procoder, and choosing a filter called “Safe Broadcast color Safe” that comes with Procoder, I get the closest to the original colors and contrast…but…here is the problema: I get great image quality with Procoder 3 (good quality but way to much ocntrast and saturation) but if I use any filtes like this obe to try to fix this, the final quality goes down a lot!! (much more pixelated images)
Am I doing something wrong when appliying the “Broadcast Color safe” filter in Procoder???can anyone help me out with this
thanks in advance!!!! -

Skip the filters and simply go by your external scopes for proper levels. Monotors vary. Your scopes should not.
I have found a reference file into any DVD app to be spot on, color and level-wise.
