Sony levels problem

Hi,
I just find a weird behavior using levels fx:
1- Set to output end slider to 0.92 to be within sRGB.
2- Raise up the input end slider.
- When GPU is off in preferences the luma value are at 100 max in the scope
- When GPU is on the luma value goes above 100 in the scope.
Can anybody confirm?

I'm getting strange results with Sony Levels too. I've been told that I must apply a Computer RGB to Studio RGB to any video I intend to post to Youtube or Vimeo, or play WMP or VLC as a MP4 because it expects StudioRGB.

But when I play the outputted MP4s in these players, my whites are not pure white as they are in Vegas before the Sony Levels adjustment.... so it would seem the players are not expecting Studio RGB cause they are not bumping my whites up to pure white (and dropping my blacks to pure black). I now have to tweak the Sony Levels template from it's defaults of 0.60 and 0.940 to 0.20 and 0.980 to get reasonable results.

What is going on?
