Thanks again everyone for the very nice compliments.

There is something strange going on with the video.  Here is what I have found so far:

- I encoded it as 23.976 frames per second.  Media Info reports this correctly.  VLC does not. 

- When playing it on my PS3, the dark areas are much darker, especially the left side of the trench in the Death Star.

- I originally used After Effects to encode it.  It created it with the 4.1 profile.

- I just re-encoded it with Sony Vegas Pro 9.  This created it with the 4.0 profile.  This time it is darker like on the PS3, and VLC reports it as 23.976 fps.

I will try 4.0 profile in After Effects next.  I think the color issue has to do with 0-255 vs 16-235.  My images use 0-255, but I think the PS3 and Sony Vegas are clipping those ranges.
