 Jo, very clear. You searched for the glaring weakness in the DV 
 use YV12 color space was discovered. 
 The white characters remain intact, as in the luma plane is located. 
 The red, however, lies in the chroma plane, and has only half the vertical 
 Resolution. 
 This is called a chroma upsampling error.

 No, the computer system as such. And some probably synonymous in the 
 Program, which you with the editing. DV is always interlaced 
 (in memory size), so it should be synonymous, the Picture will be stored. 
 That should help somewhat.

 Yes and no. 
 It is up to the fact that DV is not really for this type of material 
 created in Second synonymous but surely the fact that the used 
 Codec for this type material is sub-optimal, ie a result 
 achieved, what is worse than is possible within the standard 
 would be. It is therefore the material insufficiently adjust.

 The first possible way of course would be a better DV codec to 
 use. Before you ask: No, I do not know a free or 
 favorable, the much better creates. 
 The next way would be garkeinen DV codec to use, because, as I said, 
 for this type of material data is not really thought. Whether this way 
 Question depends, of course, depends on what the material with later 
 should happen. If the target nunmal DV format is of course no 
 Way to get around DV. Is the format but no first preference, I would HuffYUV as 
 Recommend codec. When this material is likely the compression rate 
 at least in the magnitude of DV is probably even more 
 better. 
 When None of the two routes in question, because the target format definitely 
 DV must be better and no DV codec is available, then there is 
 only one way: You have to modify the material so that it 
 Expectations of the codec is better. Dhin this case, specifically: 
 Blurring of the material. This verringerst you the bandwidth of the 
 Codec in its importance to the overall impression overvalued Y-channel 
 and leaving more bitrate for the color. 
 The result of this operation is of course that the whole picture blurred 
 effect. When playing on normal TVs but you will hardly be a 
 Difference in the sharpness note the block artifacts 
 however, are positive but very noticeable by their absence. Total 
 So it's getting better. 
 Lossy compression is the art of compromise to be found.

 Reasoning: This is a logo can be inserted. It is sufficient if only 
 this will be reshaped. 
 Instead Blur could perhaps synonymous quite different 
 shape, for example with gray instead of red

 DVD uses MPEG2, and MPEG-use procedures ebenfallsYUV4: 2:0

 Would it. If red, then no pure red, but one that 
 brighter, so that the Y-synonymous Plane (Pure Brightness, if you so 
 want the S / W Picture) with the font contains. This helps in 'ne 
 Quantity. 
 It would help somewhat synonymous, incidentally, of a light white font 
 Outline to miss.

 I can not confirm. I have times when the logo HuffYUV-avi 
 saved and then chased by TMPGEnc. The red font, while 
 slightly blurred (blurred or more than, for example, white or gray), but it 
 looks much better than the DV.

 I've tried, so times a fairly bright red made. 
 Result: green spots at the edges. Looks even worse than the 
 pure red.

 Also tested here synonymous green spots. 
 I've got now for me the following schedule: 
 Where I the logos as a stand-alone animations hab, mach ich 
 HuffYUV -> MPG2 if it somehow in video sequences is integrated, 
 I take a light gray. 
 Now, I'm still testing, as with red and white looks, the 
 I need to be synonymous.

 That is no surprise. Because it is about and an En - 
 Decoding problem.

 Green stains? There's now absolutely no reasonable explanation. 
 Decodes What? 
 > Also tested here synonymous green spots. 
 See next above. Green as a result is anything but normal. 
 Generally, such things I would never in a lossy 
 Format, including DV and so is. And especially 
 MS-DV fit absolutely nothing. 
 Good is HuffYUV - in this case, but only in RGB mode. 
 For decoding of the images is synonymous depending on the system to errors, 
 partially offset by DirectShow, partially offset by graphics card drivers, 
 partially synonymous with player / decoder. 
 YUV 4:2:0 and specifically YV12 is fairly difficult to handle, before 
 particular, if synonymous nor is interlaced. 
 General Tips: 
 * No MS-DV, but rather the codec of MainConcept or Canopus 
 use. 
 * RGB images, if possible, not compressed cache. 
 * Pure colors (red, green, blue) to avoid. 
 * Decoding of video images from only tools that are not 
 DirectShow / DirectX use. 
 * Logos and lettering after creation no longer resize. 
 * For only the logos and fonts to use pixel sizes which are exactly (!) By 
 2 (vertical) or 4 (horizontal) are divisible 
 * Logos and fonts only in positions, which by 2 
 (vertical) or 4 (horizontal) are divisible.

 Eh as a false impression: Even "pure red" contains a 
 Quantity Y. Just as much as it is lighter than black. Were there no 
 Y, then you would not see the color. With this trick will be to 
 PALplus the Helperzeilen hidden in the bar: pure C, not Y, 
 and already you can see (almost) nothing more, even though since "data" are. 
 The tip, not a pure red to use, especially not a relatively dark 
 Vollrot to black, is definitely worth its weight in gold. You see only the 
 Warnings at the end of DVDs try the Menu button to 
 escape: Red title and white text on black. The over - 
 written uglier smears from. Or you can see the header 
 several films, which use red on black, IIRC something like "Blade". 
 Since one can hardly read. So at best, or at least 
 a pastel color out of it.
