I wasn't sure how to search this topic so taking the liberty of posing a new one.
In rendering from the Vegas (5 & 6) timeline to avi and MPEG-2 files, and also when playing back a rendered MPEG-2 file on the computer monitor or through firewire to a TV, the picture has the color balance I'm trying to achieve (of course the TV is always much brighter). But when I burn a DVD with DVDA3 and play it back in an attached external DVD player routed to the same TV, the picture has a noticeable greenish tint compared to the original, and even a few areas of greenish hue on strong lines.
This concerns me because I'm burning DVDs of our film for festival review and I'm not sure what they'll be approximately seeing on the other end. I'm hoping it's just my player, a JVC VHS player which also plays back (but does not record) DVD. I can reduce the green 'tint' and redo the DVD if there is truly a green-shift problem
I am assuming that what I'm seeing is a loss of red, green and blue pixels in the compression process, but since green carries luminance, there is more green "left behind," i.e. noticeable, than red or blue after the MPEG-2 compression is done.
Any thoughts on what to do?
