Matrix 601,709 problem

Post by themaster1 » Mon May 30, 2011 3:36 pm

I have encoded a video in x264 and specified the matrix color BT601(code 6) in the advanced parameters yet when i play this video with DGindexNV it says it's BT.709 ? Does the fact that i picked Levels 3.1 (for HD) override the colormatrix values ?

I've made a new test today and it seems that mediacoder (according to DGindex NV ) chose BT.709 for 720p and BT.601 for 480p.In other words it is "720p aware" (it check the image size i presume) and assume 720p is High Def so it must use BT.709 matrix....

I guess it never came to your mind that one may want a BT.601 for HD resolution. Fix this problem A.S.A.P thank you
