I use HB to compress videos shot on my Canon camera. But when comparing screenshots the original always seems more vivid than the compressed version. Note I'm using custom settings... usually 3000k h264 for 720p videos at the "very slow" encoding setting.
Steps to reproduce the problem (If Applicable):
Always happens.
HandBrake version (e.g., 1.0.0):
1.0.7 64bit
Operating system and version (e.g., Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, macOS 10.13 High Sierra, Windows 10 Creators Update):
Windows 10, 64bit Creators Update
