Some time ago I opened a thread on a film I was directing, and this forum was tremendously helpful in upscaling some SD shots to HD.
That film was edited in Avid, and I had many problems in exporting it to H264, as most programs I used for that produced some deinterlace flicker that was visible in the interlaced copy.
Only Carboncoder got me a clean H264 copy, with no deinterlace artifacts.
But, and I don't know why, the result ended up much more contrasty than the original and other SD copies I had made from same mov file. Apparently there are some problems with QT files.
In any case, I would like to use that same contrasty H264 file to convert it to DVD files, correcting the contrast as much as possible. The resolution of that file is superb, so I would like to give it a try.
This is a captured shot of what I am getting now:

Look at the black musician on the right. I had corrected the image so that everything would show fine. It's fine on the SD conversion I made from the mov file. But my experience has shown me that you can get extra apparent resolution in SD if you convert from an H264 file. The original SD conversion also has some flickering problems in some titles.
What Avisynth filter I might use to correct that contrast?
