I'm not a video expert, but this looks more like a client attitude
problem than anything else (for all the good that does you). Colors
aren't usually considered too hot until they're over 110 IRE, and in
any case what the waveform looks like isn't as important as whether
clipping is really visible on the screen of a composite monitor--hot
colors are often cooled by the encoder anyway.
Software that cools image colors usually isn't very subtle, with the
result that there's an undesireable loss of either saturation or
contrast. If you have to deal with a client who's overly concerned
with hot colors, it's better to avoid generating them in the first
place. Stay away from fully saturated cyan and yellow in particular.
But I've never worried much about it. The hardware has always handled
whatever I've given it.
