Re: gamma shift, ProRes to DVD, remedy?

OK, I just checked my ntsc monitor (not tv), which I hadn't calibrated recently.

I put some fcp bars into a sequence and then view on both my cinema display and ntsc which is hooked up to an mxo box.

The pluge bar was a bit bright, so I brought it down, but not as far down as I would have if I were working with less ambient light on my monitor. So I adjusted the pluge now for my daytime viewing, making it barely visible.

Now I played two versions of my DVD on a set top playing out to this ntsc monitor. At least now the first one, without gamma and brightness adjusted in compressor, looks more acceptable.

The 2nd version DVD, with the gamma and brightness adjusted in compressor, also looks acceptable, maybe a bit preferable in some scenes if you creatively like deeper blacks ( I do ).

The lighter one looks really bad on my sony tv. set which I cannot adjust. It also looks really washed out when I viewed it on a sony hdtv at circuit city . . .where i could not adjust the settings.

I'm just bummed how bad mpeg-2 DVD quality looks, after enjoying how good it looks before going to mpeg-2.
