The demo videos don't have a good black level.

Is this processing method perhaps not using a correct dark image, or not correctly subtracting off the shaded calibration rows on the sensor?

If thats the case, it's probably screwing with the gamma conversion, making it look even worse.

Nope, I didn't do any black level/gamma adjustments. I just used the first values that would produce what looked like a fairly high-quality result with ffmpeg and dcraw. There is probably tons of low hanging fruit to improve these results from someone who really knows what the're doing in terms of image processing.
