I'm using Handbrake for the first time in several years. I transcoded an MKV ripped from one my Blu-ray Discs. During playback, scenes begin somewhat desaturated, missing some red. After a second or two, the color shifts and they're properly saturated. Sometimes, it looks like a like green band is across the screen before the colors pops in fully. This change happens every time the scene changes substantially, which is every minute or two in an action show. I tested playback steaming to an AppleTV (4th Gen) and then directly on the media pc. It was happened on both devices.
The original MKV does not have this behavior: colors are stable.
The basics of the encode are:
Apple 1080p60 (preset) + Intel QSV manually enabled (no other changes)
Handbrake 1.0.2 64bit
Windows 10, Core i5 6500
Any idea what causes this behavior and how to fix it or prevent it in encodes?

Re: Color saturation changes during playback
If you encode with x264 and not QSV, does it make a difference?
Re: Color saturation changes during playback
I haven't tried that. I re-ran the encode, and it behaved the same. I'll try without QSV and see if it changes the result.
