Get HSV values

[geohei]

Hi.

I have 2 MPEG-2 video clips, which hold the same movie, but they come from a different source (one from DVB-S and one from DVD). As a consequence, the HSV values (colors) of both clips are different. Unfortunalely I have only the first pasrt op the DVB-S clip (1) and the last part of the DVD clip (2). Hence I would like to join both clips.

If I take the same scene, how can I detect which HSV value is used by clip 1 and adjust the HSV values of clip 2 (using VirtualDub) accordingly?

Many thanks.

Was the question not clear (shall I rephrase?), or is there no solution to this, except trial-and-error?

Thanks.

well in this case the eye is a pretty powerful tool if you dont have a program for color correction

I have used a Histogram filter in the past to see what the individual color levels are. Also the Red/Green/Blue(1.0) filter to adjust the colors individually.

Sometimes also the HSV for rough adjustment. I think there may be some other Histogram filters that would work, possibly better. VD has a lot of filters available. Try a Google search for 'Virtualdub filters'.

Also AVISynth. It has histogram filters and numerous ones for tweaking colours. Plus you can use stackvertical or stackhorizontal for comparing the two visually.

Thanks for the answers. I'll give all that a try.
