Hi, Not sure if this is the place to post this or not. If not, please point me in the right direction.
I was very excited to see that I can post video to my web page without plugins, Flash, or Javascript. However, I have identified two issues concerning visual quality in the Firefox HTML5 video player. I'm an artist, image is everything to me. 1. Poster image is at reduced contrast. Looks like it's viewed through some kind of filter. This is bad. Please don't do this. If I create a poster image, I expect that it will be displayed the same way I created it. This is not an unreasonable expectation. 2. MP4 video is being displayed at reduced contrast as well. Blacks are not black, whites are not white. This probably has something to do with a dynamic range mismatch between 0-255 (for display/desktop) and 16-235 (for storage/broadcast). My files are encoded with Handbrake. I assume what is happening is that the encoder is using the standard 16-235 range, but Firefox is not correctly expanding that out to 0-255. This is bad. Please fix it. I understand that this is an "emerging" technology, but it's just as easy to get these things right. I'm using Firefox 27.0.1 on Windows 7 x64.
