Switch image from color to B/W

[danielmak]

Is there a way to change a DVD from color to B/W using a program like MPEGStreamclip or MyDVDEdit? I have a DVD that was transferred from VHS and the image is either B/W with pink, blue, green VHS specks or it is very poor color that appears to be washed out, but the specks dominate the image. I know that it is impossible to truly fix the image but if I can change it to B/W it would be more watchable. I also know that I can just fix the contrast on my TV but I want to send the DVD to some friends and I prefer not to have each of them mess with their TV sets if I can just fix the DVD on my own. Here is what the image looks like if you are curious.

MPSC means a re-encoding

MyDVDEdit

myDVDEdit just change display informations (so, will not correct your video)


You have 2 solutions;
- use your remote control to decrease TV color
- re-encode to suppress the color channels (most of freeware/shareware encoding softwares will does the job: the FFmpeg open-source library has this function, and almost evry soft use FFmpeg )
PS: no hope with iDVD
