XBMC 0-255 render

xayide · 2012-02-19 11:52

Movies are mastered in 16-235 BUT it still contains the information between 0-15 and 236-255.

So feeding this to XBMC makes XBMC clip the hidden information and just take 16-235 converts it to 0-255 and renders it.

Am I right when I say XBMC does clip the hidden information?

(not that we normaly view this information, but I am still eager interested in the facts)

Not very helpful. Would you mind telling me instead?

Yes, it clips it.

FYI I've checked the 0-15 and 236-255 ranges on several videos, they seem to contain mostly compression artifacts.
