Hi all, I think that Cinelerra's DV playback (DV1394) function may have a bug. If I choose DV 1394 as Video Driver in the Preferences menu(*), the DV output to an HD/DVD recorder is fine, except for anything (close to) black - these parts seem to be recognized as 'empty', devoid of video information. As a result, these dark areas show the last bit of valid information. This severely affects things such as fades and other effects, but also any normal black areas, makes the DV export virtually useless.
*: The other two options (raw DV and ieee16883) don't seem to work at all. I have a picture showing this effect here: http://www.linetec.nl/unrel/black_messed_up.png The three blocky spots where black areas should be are clearly visible. This can be somewhat circumvented by increasing luminances to 10% minimum, but this is not a real solution of course. Is this a bug? Or did I do something wrong? By the way, this problem has always existed to my knowledge, but I simply resorted to kino for DV export; the latest version of Kino, however, doesn't seem capable any more to export DV to devices without recognized AV/C control, and the HD/DVD recorder isn't recognized - but I'll post that problem to the Kino mailing list. So basically, I'm stuck without a means of easily exporting DV to the HD/DVD recorder, which is a bit of a nuisance.
