Hi - Let's try this again - DNS had a momentary glitch and the _stupid_ MAILER-DAEMON probe it does failed

For PAL I think the content needs to be created at 1024x576 and scaled to 720x576 - but I'd have to double check that. > sure what resolution is used by the industry by default, but I know that they > use 32 bits per primary colour, I.E. 3X32 bits of colour for each pixel > rather than the standard 24 or 32 bit per pixel. Of course this and more gets One thing you need to be careful of is 'broadcast safe colors' when you're generating content on a computer. Computers work in RGB most of the time and there are RGB combinations that are not legal broadcast/DVD Y'CbCr values. 'yuvcorrect' has a CONFORM mode that will core&clamp the values but it might be best to not generate the out of range RGB in the first place. Good Luck!
