DVD for TV and Computers

[BJ_M]

instead of what it looks like now

[sdsumike619]

yes! that's nice!! but having made that adjustment, what does it look like on the TV now? I should check

[BJ_M]

could do this effect and not worry about it much ...

btw -- i know there is a wall behind him with a seam in it -- but punching up that wall so that it shows - makes him look bad .. unless i made a mask for him .. thats in the stage lighting really ..


could do effect

[sdsumike619]

what the heck did you just say? haha

[lordsmurf]

pretty identical???? Since you seem to have everything wired over there, how do you do it? I thought the basic conclusion was screw it you can't do anything about it since TVs and computer monitors are different,,, what's your fix?

Change the overlay properties.

[sdsumike619]

I don't know what the heck that 'could do effect" you put up there is haha - looks kinda scary,,, yeah well ideally i wanted the black "wall with a seam" to just be pure black,, but it never quite works out that way for me

[BJ_M]

here the level is adjusted for both pc and tv and right on broadcast spec IRE

here is the veg file for vegas for the settings ..

sample.veg

[sdsumike619]

not sure what to do with that .veg file ?

[BJ_M]

open it with vegas -- you said you were using vegas i think (thought)

that back wall would be easy to completely remove .... if you wanted to

i got a party here and got to go talk to my guests now ..

[sdsumike619]

i don't understand , I open the file, but somehow it puts a video clip on the timeline, even tho it's asking for the pictures u made.........

[sdsumike619]

there's no video event fx in that file

[sdsumike619]

oh wait i found it under track fx

[BJ_M]

i'm back -- everyone else is passed out or in a group sex thing .. so did you figure it out ?

[sdsumike619]

well not really, I mean it looks great on the computer monitor, but the TV looks over saturated, or too much contrast...

so I"m not sure,,,, how can I calibrate my monitor and tv,,, is there like a bottom line method that works?

I started fiddling with that unsharpen effect, and I notice that if I increase the "radius" I can make the picture on the TV and the picture on the computer monitor look pretty close - is this advisible to do? It looks like when you increase that radius control, it increases the amount of light or something, gives the image on the computer some life, instead of so dull...

quick question, how the heck do you operate these Re-writable DVDs. I'm using Nero to make these tests, but what I don't understand, is that when it "erases" a disc, it just erases the beginning part of it,,, I haven't been able to use an RW more than once, feels like a waste of money unless i'm doing something wrong?
