Divx to DVD = Too Bright |
|
|
I've been working on re-editing a DVD, then re-burning it to a DVD-R.
Basically what I have been doing is ripping the VOB, then converting
it to Divx (latest version) in VirtualDub with compression cranked up
to 4000 for as little loss as possible. Then I have been converting
it back to DVD format.
The problem is that when I play back the DVD-R with the finished
reedited footage on my external DVD Player, the footage is always much
brighter than the original DVD footage. It appears that somehow the
Divx compression is gamma-correcting the VOB footage. This results in
blockiness in dark areas, etc.
Is there a way to correct this problem? Thank you!

Are you sure you don't have the brightness/contrast filter loaded in
VDub?

Positive. No filters loaded whatsoever, in fact. |

Why are you converting it to divx in the first place if you are burning it
back as DVD video in the end? |

Because I am re-editing the footage first, which requires software
that can't handle VOB files, and using "uncompressed" MPEG codecs is
even more troublesome than Divx. |

VOB is compile video mpeg stream. It contains audio, subpicture and
other things. You can extract the video and audio material and save it
to a mpeg file without any loss in quality. It makes no sense to convert
it to divx since that'll inevitable result in quality loss.

Mpeg2 isn't uncompressed.

How so? |
