Okay, VidHeads . . . I've needed to produce a file of my latest project for a client for her to view and use on her machine . .presentations and the like. Knowing that Windows Media Player is fairly everywhere on people's machines - and after trying mpegs 1/2 - I thought I'd plump for the various options in rendering to WMV. Started with the ones I know about. Then I used the Highest quality LAN, 3mb Format. WOW! Played it successfully on my own WMP - on both WinME and XP PRO systems and the output is nearly great . . . except for one small issue - it looks a wee bit too dark.
Questions:
1 - Quality Issue: Is it a known aspect of this format to make stuff darkish? It isn't that bad - but, I'd still would prefer to bring back the lightness.
2 - Quality Improvement: Can I lighten the rendering without having to "change" the post edit prod - prior to rendering to this format?
3 - Format Suitability: Am I doing the correct thing? Again it is to be played firstly on her own system, and then possible to be used in presentations at a museum. I went this route as the quality exceeds MPEG 1 or 2 and the 6:30 mins fits [ 140mb ] onto a really cheapo CD.
TIA - Grazie
