I've been uploading some videos to Youtube and unfortunately just today I noticed that they are being handled wrong by their converters.
For some reason, Youtube is not expanding the levels of my videos so they look opaque. This is one of them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSILf3Y2JcY
I thought that I could be doing something wrong but the source videos actually look fine on computer (right levels). They are 4:2:0 according to MediaInfo, so Youtube for some reason is handling them as if they were full range and not limited.
Reading another forum, Poisondeathray mentioned that there's a flag aside from the actual range of the video that Youtube is taking into account to determine if the video is going to be expanded to full levels or converted like mine. I want to know if this is possible to do with an MKV container. I'm using MKVToolnix GUI to convert the videos I'm uploading by the way.
