Hi,
I'm just reporting a thread that I have found, they talk about the latest stable version of VirtualDub.

QUOTE
vdub 1.10.4 ... The rec.709 options on the "other" dialog don't work at all

Not sure what is there in the thread, but here are few my observations:
Input colorspace in VD does matter.

I have bt.709 full range mp4 sources - these have colorspace tags. If I feed from my input driver untouched YUV and specify colorspace as bt.709 full range (as reported by ffmpeg), the picture is right.

If I remux the same source to avi with ffmpeg tool, I have to use "alias format" filter which brings missing colorspace info. I have not figured but it seems like avi does not support colorspaces at all. Then the picture is identical.

If I recompress it (full processing from rgb) to x264, and set bt709 and full range options in x264 options dialog, on the output I have identical avi (with quantization like 10 only few pixels differ by 1 bit). I still need to set "alias format" but thats ok for avi.

So, for me everything works well.

I think they talk about converting from rec.601 to rec.709 using VirtualDub itself (not codecs or input plugins).

In my example VirtualDub is converting from YUV to RGB. At least here I dont see problem.
