So, how do you plan on playing back this finished color correction? Do you have a theater quality projector? If not, your aim is without merit. You will have to convert and then convert it back to RGB to do anything with it so what is the point in converting it in the first place? If you start with an RGB source (GOUT, DVD, and BR) and you are going to watch it on an RGB device (Any color television ever made) with an RGB file type (as DVD and BR require), I really don’t see the point of your exercise. You are trying to recreate the wheel and there is no reason to. Calibrate your monitor first. Then stick to RGB (what your source and end viewing will be in). That is the colors our eyes see after all. Unless you have calibrated professional equipment designed for theatrical projection, there is no reason to change the color space. If it starts out RGB and ends up RGB and gets to your eyes in RGB, then … it is an exercise in uselessness. Especially without a calibrated monitor. Yours is obviously way off.
