Levels, if used incorrectly to increase brightness, will cause clipping of the whites. I am not using levels in this way.

You're right. Doesn't it affect the chroma though? You're using it in YUV colorspace.

One of Didee's poorest products IMHO. I'd be interested in looking at some specific examples if you want to actually try them on the GOUT and post what configuration works for you.

No need! I trust your observations, it was just a tip. YAHR() worked very well for me on a few blurry videos, never tried with good quality sources like this. I couldn't try it out as I didn't have the DVDs at hand.

Could you be more specific about what chroma problems you see?

Forget it. After a closer look, it was probably only a sign of the edge ehancement.

Oh well. I thought my post will be useful, but not at all. You've passed my ideas long time ago.

And I'd like to ask something:

What did you find out? Please share :)
