lonebannana: Could you perhaps post a link to the "TV safe colors" that you mentioned? I've got a long-term project using Bryce, Poser, Mimic, Susanna, Natural Pose, Terragen, RayDream Studio, etc. to produce a video on VCD, based on a childrens' book I wrote over 20 years ago. I've been told the Rage Fury drops frames on output. I've also been advised that in order to get pro quality tapes I need a Targa board for output, and a professional vcr. THAT'S WHY i'M GOING TO vcd. As to the washout: sounds like a gamma correction problem. I know of the problem, but don't have a solution yet for rendering good-looking computer output to TV. There must be a formula for accomplishing this task--too many people are doing this for there not to be! But I haven't found it yet. Also, I've heard that with the new version of MPEG 4 compression, called DivX, one can get almost DVD quality playback. A near-DVD quality, full-length video can be crammed onto one CD-R! Problem now: no hardware playback device for this codec. You have to use your computer (with software codec)--which puts you back to the problem of outputting to TV. Anyway, I'm looking into this DivX also. Keep us all updated on your progress. Sounds like an interesting project.
