I was cursing the latest version of VLC player (3.0.16). Out of the box, on full-range videos, it was changing grays of 235-235-235 to 255-255-255, and changing 16-16-16 to 0-0-0.
After some poking around I found the cure:
Tools -> Preferences -> Video (icons at top of screen)
Output: Direct3D9 video output
I have a full-range test pattern consisting of four gray patches of 0, 16, 235 and 255. After applying the above fix I get correct levels on the test pattern.
I also get correct levels without adjustment on VirtualDub2. You can actually see separation between the 235 and 255 patches. This should be helpful if you are doing critical video work.
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!
