Photofanatic Posted October 31, 2012 Report Posted October 31, 2012 Hello AgainI have managed to create an .avi movie of my slideshow using the custom codec : XVid-MPeg-4 with MP3 192bit 4100Hz sound However the resulting .avi whilst being good quality/resolution & no shimmer - it lacks contrast - (no true blacks) and vibrancy of colour compared to the original slideshow.Can anyone suggest why this might be and how I could improve it?Thanks againJoy Quote
xahu34 Posted October 31, 2012 Report Posted October 31, 2012 A video with 8 bits per channel (normally) has only about 220 steps in lightness, while RGB images have 256 steps. So, it depends on the way the video is mapped onto the screen, if the blacks are really black, or not. When I play a video with the Windows Media Player on my Win XP system, there isn't real black. If I play the same video on Win 7 the video's black is really black.Regards,Xaver Quote
