[Avid-L2] Re: H264s (or other codec QT) for client review with correct color.

Again, the gamma issue are primarily a function of how QT player displays the file. It should have nothing to do with your encoding.

I don't know about Toast. The blu-rays I've burned for clients have been done using Episode, Compressor or Adobe Media Encoder to create MPEG2 files. Then I have brought these into Encore for authoring. I have also sent these MPEG2 files to a professional BD authoring/replication facility. The reason I use MPEG2 instead of H264 is because I have a better sense of how the bitrate values translate into picture quality than with H264.

FWIW - Most professional shops (i.e. Hollywood facilities doing studio jobs) will encode with Microsoft VC1 and not MPEG2 or H264.
