MPEG-2 quality on monitor

[James Baker]

Hi,

 

I have a set of VOB, IFO and BUP files which all look as they should do. However when I burn them onto an actual DVD the VOP file looks as it should but the IFO files look washed out, with the blacks being too light. This is the case when played on a computer monitor.

 

Unfortunately I'm not able to test it on a TV screen but I have heard that the quality for DVD MPEG-2s does not look correct when played on a computer.

 

Does anyone know if this is true and if it is the norm. If this is the case does anyone know of any way around this so that it can play properly on a monitor?

 

Any ideas would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

IFO files are navigation and info files. They do not contain any video information at all. If the VOBs look OK, then you are all set.

Even though this is definitely not an ImgBurn problem, try playing your DVD with VLC Media Player (File/Open Disc).

TFT/LCD monitors do not handle black to good. Older CRT should be fine unless someone has adjusted contrast/gamma etc.

Thanks for the suggestions. I think that this is actually an issue with WinDVD playing the MPEG files.
