Computer / Studio RGB ?

[Lucius Snow]

Hello,

When i render a video, either in AVI DV or MPEG2, i get a different display between a computer and a TV. The picture is much contrasted and luminous on a PC. I found back this difference into an effet in Vegas which is called "studio RGB to computer RGB". So i deduced that the RGB norms (and so those of luminance?) were different between a computer and a TV. In the weeks coming, i have to burn 300 DVD but i'd like to get the original colours not only on TV but also on PC in case the consumers play the DVD on a computer.

Here are two captures. The first one is done by Vegas (which displays as studio RGB for TV). The second one is captured in WinDVD.

You can notice well the overexposure on Computer_RGB.bmp (which doesn't exist with the same video played on TV).

So my question is : Is it possible to avoid this difference by making a DVD ?

I render in frameserving from Vegas (through the frameserver by Debugmode in RGB24) to Canopus Procoder 2.0 (in "mastering quality" preset). By the way, i've been adviced to apply the filter "601 correction - Schrink Color Space" in Procoder. It reduces well the overexposure on PC but the original colours get very diminished. I've made two other captures to compare :

The first one is without the filter, the second one is with the filter. Both captures were done in Vegas so as studio RGB for TV.

Thank you.

My understanding is that there is no way to do this. If you play any DVD in your computer it will look different then if you play that same DVD on a TV. I would recommend making it look good on the computer because the colors on a computer will be more accurate most likely (unless you have a LCD monitor). Thus if it looks good on the computer it should look good on the TV. Just make sure you don't make it bright on the computer, because tv's tend to be bright.
