jpsdr,
I'm still not clear as to why I'm getting such bizarre results for XYZ conversions
here. Am I doing something wrong?
I read your reply in the other thread and looked at the PDF, and I can see rec.601_525 line and rec.601_625 line are different, but the question I'm trying to get a simple answer to is... why do other programs such as ColorMatrix & DitherTools only have/require one version of rec.601?
I assume my understanding is wrong, but I thought once analogue PAL and NTSC are converted to digital, the colorimetry is the same, and therefore there's only one flavour of rec.601 required for colorimetry conversions. When I play an NTSC DVD encode, is the same colorimetry being used by MPC-HC to convert to RGB on playback as for a PAL DVD encode?
StvG said in the other thread I should be using rec.601_625 to convert between HD and SD etc in digital-land, and I don't doubt him, but once again I'm just after a simple explanation as to why.
Cheers.
