You are going to need to prove that auto tone is so different to tone that it makes things worse, not better. I did a comparison using the same clip in 21 and 26 and the result looked the same to me.

Err... hasn't it just been renamed Auto Tone from Auto? Clicking on Auto Tone disables the Exposure>White parameters in PS26, as does clicking on Auto in PS21, so it looks like it's having the same effect. I can see that in 26 by opening a clip in the Corrections editor from the Library  and in the Edior under. Editor/Colour/Basic and ...

Good point. But they might still have been transitioning between formats at that point, which might explain the lack of Control Panel options. Of course, it could just be a mistake..... ;-)

I think this may vary depending on the type of mic. I see a delay in PS26 of about a second using the mic on my webcam.

Glad to help :-) Nice to see a helpful reply from Panasonic too....

Thanks for the very detailed reply! You clearly are creating the correct disc type. I think an issue here might well be the frame rate. I seem to recall that 60P was/is not part of the official Blu ray standard. Some players have the firmware to play it back, others may be able to do so with  firmware update, and others may not play it at ...

Glassen:can hear the sound track, but no image. Also, the sound track seems to be starting at a random point; i.e. it is not the sound track at the beginning of the video.- Am I correctly choosing the source disc image, which I'm doing by selecting 'Disc Image  (folder)' then select the BDMV within the previously created disc image (I ...

There is also a reset function in the Control Panel. You might want to try that first.
