    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.

The first image is the footage in FCP, the second one is after it's been compressed through Compressor into a QuickTime movie.

As you can see the colors look brighter in the QuickTime version, I want them to look just like they don in FCP (I know the image won't look as sharp because of the compression but that shouldn't change the color should it?). I corrected the color in FCP using the built in color correction filter (not the 3 way). What should I change to make this work?

--Much thanks.

Even odder is that the colors look fine in the Compressor preview.
