    Not all monochrome looks the same

    Removing colour is a decision about which greys the colours become. A flat desaturation makes a red jumper and a green hedge land on nearly the same grey, which is why naive black and white footage looks muddy. Raising the contrast separates them again and gives the picture some snap.

    Because only the picture is touched, the sound track is copied through byte for byte and loses nothing.

    Common questions

    Can I get the colour back afterwards?

    Not from the output. The colour information is discarded, so keep your original.

    Does this make the file smaller?

    Usually a little, since there is less chroma information to encode, but the saving is modest.
