Compression adds some of that but another thing that might be an issue is your monitor settings. There's usually all the scenery, game, normal and whatnot modes that mess with the video. On top of that your contrast setting will also affect it but a bit less unless it's near the minimun or maximum value. These two are easy to get rid of using a colour wheel/picker where the colours blend with each other and a smooth + incremental black to white gradients. You should choose a colour mode where the colour wheel looks smooth all over and set the contrast so that dark greys or light greys don't mix with each other or turn completely black or white.

Instead of 8 bits per channel, you get 10 at a minimum, with the option to support up to 16, and the bitrates are upwards of 250 Mbps, so you have a much greater raw colour space and little need for compression. In fact, DCI compliant cinema compression is very efficient, but lossless. Monster movie directors don't care how it'll look on TV.

The video described what the compressor did as well, and in a way that's universally understandable for most people since it explains all you need to know.

1. Computer colour encoding usually follows a more or less exponential gamma curve, modelled after the brightness you'd get for a specific relative voltage on a CRT screen. This messes with a lot of things but is one of the reasons dark content looks worse. 2. Video colour encoding throws away the values between 0-16 and 235-255 to account for under- and overshoot in digital representations of analogue video. The remaining values are then stretched to the full 0-255 range by your video player, creating additional banding beyond the banding already created by not using the full range, and by only using 8 bits. 3. Both of these problems can be easily masked to the point of being invisible to the naked eye through debanding and dithering in the video player, something most modern devices are powerful enough to do in real time. However, up to this point they've mostly been niche features in videophile-oriented software like madVR, and unavailable in web browsers.

1. the gamma curve creates more dark colors at the expense of light ones. Not sure what you're on about here.

And on number 2 what encoding are you talking about specifically. There are tons of them and most of them are adjustable in many aspects, including color.

Lots of video is encoded not in RGB, but in Luminosity and two chroma components where the chroma components are then subsampled to compress the video even more with less visual quality degradation when compared to similar compression ratios over RGB space.
@muf17724 жыл бұрын
@@davidflores909 I'm referring to limited range YUV encoding, which encodes the Y channel (luma) in values 16-235 and clips off the remainder. This is what the majority of video formats use, including KZbin.
@gordonrichardson29724 жыл бұрын
Muf Yes, gamma encoding is an important and little understood aspect of all digital still images and video. The human eye sees on logarithmic scales, which approximates the gamma function over most of its range, but does poorly in dark areas. You never see banding in bright areas, no matter how compressed the image.

Isn't it funny, that higher resolutions and more colors aren't the answer to everything? I still love that ancient GIF format, doing aninmations in it. It is a joy for me, not only working out which colors to be picked, but also playing around with how little colors I can use (so dropping file size) while still looking nice. Afterall, 16 bits retro graphics do have their appeal and will always have. Limited abilities with graphics certainly don't equal bad.
