But this is OK, because most movies are 16-235 (and if it detects a file is full range, it'll change its behaviour - the test patterns are obviously not marked as full range, or it would defeat their purpose)
Maybe the source of my problem with madVR originates here. How does it detect the range.

Although My experiences don't verify this. There a blu-ray files that suck hard, and only reach dark grey for which I have to compensate. But most reach black or very close to it.
