I have a series of AVC-files for Blu-ray use (AVCHD footage edited in VP13 and encoded with the Sony AVC encoder). The levels are exactly within the 16-235 range. I tried to convert them to MPEG-2 using the MainConcept encoder for someone wanting a DVD version. The output is crisp but the contrast is higher and the images are a bit darker. The levels appear to go outside the correct range.
I was under the impression that the MainConcept encoder expects and outputs video levels in the 16-235 range only. Can someone give me a tip for getting an output where the levels are unaltered? TIA!
