John,
Thank you for your answer. But here you are assuming that most people will view my piece in High Def from a blue ray disc then?

If I want to burn standard definition DVDs that will be viewed either on traditional CRT TVs or LCD high def TV but in Standard form, should I check everything on the Sony monitor PVM 14m4U or still on a LCD then?

If I really want to color correct for High Def viewing, then why not use my Dell 24″ ? Well, it’s not really a pro monitor and kind of tough to calibrate though.

Should I get a LCD TV such as this one: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/544287-REG/Samsung_LN32A550P3FXZA_LN32A550_32_1080p_LCD.html

or should I get a High Def computer monitor that can be better calibrated for color correction than a TV?

Now how should I send the color bars from vegas into the second display? My CRT on which I do color correction is a secondary display.
Should I just drop the bars generated within vegas on the time line and display the time line so it’s visible in the CRT?
Thanks

[Philippe Orlando]

OK, so we’re assuming now that Canon has wrong bars being generated by the Canon XH-A1?

[Philippe Orlando]

Yes, but when I’m going to print a DVD of my film and distribute it or whatever people are going to watch it on their TV, not on a calibrated TV and even less on a calibrated professional Sony monitor. SO I need to find a compromise.

Mike,
everything was well lit and we used the same CRT monitor in production that I use now for editing. Everything looks superb on the CRT sony monitor. It’s on people’s TV that it looks like poop.

Hi Mike,
I’m actually wondering if I should color correct differently for DVD and theatre projection? There is an art house where i live and they will project my film from a DVD.
So from what you said, you were not that satisfied by the look of your piece in a theatre?
How did you acquire the original footage?
Thanks
Phil

I’m using DVD architect, since I edit with Vegas.
OF course I’m rendering to Mpeg 2, that’s mandatory if you’re going to burn a DVD, right? DVD won’t support any other format, correct?
I’ll check those bars again
Thanks
Phil

[Philippe Orlando]

I certainly going to try it,
thanks
Phil

[Philippe Orlando]

Actually, since I’m using Vegas it’s probably better to stick to Sony Noise Reduction, maybe actually get Sound Forge since it also contains Sony Noise Reduction
Thanks for your help
Phil
