    Okay Here's what I've done..captured beta tape onto Canon mini digital camcorder, edited in Cyberlink (and also in Pinnacle for comparison), saved in dv-avi, and encoded with Canopus proCoder 1.5 to DVD Mpeg2, authored it in DVD Lab Pro. In PC I tried using filters for source and in another attempt filters for target. (Results end up about the same) Used 601 Color correction (expand), median, black/white correction, color correction. When comparing original to result in procoder...everything looks better; however in the End result in dvd the white areas pulsate (not sure if that's the correct terminology)..but they "glow". What am I doing wrong? Any ideas?

    Since nobody more qualified has answered this yet, I'll give it a shot. But let me quantify my post by saying I have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm just going on snippets of stuff half remembered from a long time ago.

    You say the whites pulsate/glow? It could be that you have set your color range too wide when adding the filters to do the encode. TV displays a color range of 6-235 (number of colors) whereas a pc monitor displays a range of 0-255. This will affect the whites as well. A picture will always look better on a pc screen than a tv and there's nothing you can do about that. Your tv may not know how to handle the extra colors (whites being whiter and blacks being blacker) and could be pulsating/glowing to compensate.

    Anyway, that's my guess. I'm not familiar with procoder, so I can't help you there either. Anyone else got a more techie explanation?
