quicktime X drives me insane!!

I just did it then.. Must be only 1% different at best.. marginal to say the least.
But I get what your saying.. just.

In those areas yes the difference is minimal. But that's just because, like I said before, you're using an example which is a bit of a "Best case scenario" for it to go unnoticed.

But *even then* in your "best case scenario" of a bright, desaturated image, if you sample the side view mirror I get 14% black vs 21% black. That's a 33% relative luminance shift and a 7% total shift. Hardly minor. Especially when you switch back and forth.
