Congrats Ben, sincerely 😉
Once you there, give us a wmp 11 that’s doesn’t oversaturate colors, or a way not to 🙂

Charles, no offense, I’m just explaining my problem, who many others have but accept (thks bill). I tried to do editing/QT/wmp screens, but with wmp we can’t do screen (overlay related I guess ? Maybe this overlay is also the problem hmm ?).
on pc we use tiff and so from 3dsmax, so rgb. mpeg2 and wmv mpeg4 seems to be yuv files. So maybe there is something to do with rgb/yuv conversion ? As you work on yuv files this come to mind, but hey, I don’t know lot about yuv files.
And yes, I want to go to the bottom also, because many customers ask us wmv iso mpeg4 files, and it is frustrating to send them around 10min full 3d animation per month knowing they won’t see the same stuff we made. I think you know how I feel 😉
we are actually on pc, using 3dsmax->AE->ppro->pro coder2 encoding (Like I said I also loaded a wmv file into combustion demo and it is right).
thks for your help to sort this out

It’s not a monitor problem, as I can edit and see the file on same system. and allways the same, qt are exactly like editing, wmv are allways saturated (when played in windows media player), on ten different machines here with different graphic cars. And I can’t ask all customers to update os sdi monitor drivers and graphic card. we have some player 9 and 10 and it is the same, with all our animations, and yes it’s only the player as the file is good with old good mplay.exe or in combustion for example.
So what you say is that when you open a wmv file in windows media player on your machine, and the editing (ppro for example), you get exact same colors ? we encode not from dv rushes but jpg or tiff to uncompressed avi streams. And I can assure you that seen in wmp, a wmv allways sucks … windows xp pro sp2 on dual amds (xp and opterons) with nvidia geforece card (5200, 6400, 6800GT). wmp 9 or 10, the same. And once more, it is only via wmp, the wmv file itself is good (when play with other players).Kib

Hi, thks for the info I didn’t know that. But no I have standard geforce, and it does that on all machines here.
But, I’ve talk with someone doing editing/post prod in a big company, and he said me it is well known that windows media player boost the color, just to “enhance” the content, like a compact camera do saturation/sharpness on photos. We had a long talk about that, and there is nothing to do to have accurate colors while distributing a wmv video. And what surprise us the most is that everyone doing lot of finishing know this, but hey it’s microsoft, so no one talk about that ! It would be a third party free player, no one would install it due to this, but it’s microsoft, so thanks microsoft for fucking up all our contents sent to customers. Hopefully there is QuickTime !Kib

Nope, I mean standard wmv and mpeg2 dvd compliant. With quicktime, I have no problem at all, that’s the codec I prefer because colors are exactly the same as my editing. But exporting to wmv or mpeg2 or directly to dvd via pro coder or adobe encoder or microsoft encoder get all flashy colors. Maybe I should apply a RVB/YCC conversion between editing and exporting to dvd ?
-
ok so no one have any problem encoding dvd or wmv or mpeg2 ? Everyone get exact same colors ? good, now tell me how do you do, which encoder, options and so please !

Even with real dual processors system, Ppro, like old premiere, never go above 55% … This is a well known and so old issue, thks adobe …
