Hmm, I haven't looked at that. I run 2.2 on my Mac because it's easier on my eyes in a dimly-lit room.
IIRC 1.8 is the standard for broadcast video (PAL/NTSC/etc), but 2.2 is the standard for HD video. Feel free to correct me on that.
So does Safari have an option to pre-set a default CS which would be automatically applied to files sans embedded CS?
There is a setting but it's not in Safari... it picks up on the ColorSync setting which is accessed under "Preferences" in the ColorSync Utility. I set mine to sRGB because that's what I expect most untagged files to be. I think the default setting is "Generic RGB Profile". The generic profile is virtually identical to sRGB gamut-wise but I don't know about the gamma.
