Well, that’s frustrating. A broadcast editing company puts out a software application which is not broadcast standard. So, essentially what that means is that I need to export two files. One for broadcast levels for archive and another for DVD creation. I have MC on a PC. Do you know any other good DVD creation programs which assume 16-235 color standard?

Thanks Job!
I just use Avid DVD By Sonic. I’ll see if there are any settings in there. We upload our MP4 videos to Amazon S3 for streaming on our site as well as YouTube. They both look pretty good.

I realize this is an older post but I am hoping someone can confirm my workflow for me.

I record directly to AJA KiPro using the DNxHD codec.
I use AMA Link for editing in MC 8.3.1
I export “Same As”
I then use Sorenson Squeeze to compress to a QT H.264 file for streaming from the exported QT file.
I also use the same exported file to create my DVD .iso file

So, am I correct in assuming that the best option is the 601/709 color space? I do find that the compressed file seems a bit washed out at least on my work screens.
