WinAVI turns video blue?

[witchboard]

Hello. I'm trying to convert a WMV to DVD with WinAVI. It's a video of an ultrasound of my daughter which is black and white. I captured it off VHS with my ADVC-100 with Windows Movie Maker and added some text here and there and a soundtrack and then saved it all as a WMV file. Viewing the WMV file in WMP it's black and white with a couple other different colored text from the ultrasound machine, but when I convert the WMV file with WinAVI to DVD format and preview in VideoLAN, the video has a blue hue to it. Has anybody else experienced this? I did a search, but have not found anything similar. Thanks.

I'm sorry, I should have stated I'm using WinAVI 7.1

That said, it might do a better job if you had an avi file rather than a wmv file. If you saved your WMM prject, load it back up, but this time output as DV AVI instead of WMV. It will take more space, but it will make life easier for 'ol Monkey-crap-for-brains to work with.

Well, that seems to have fixed my problem. I have no idea why I didn't think of using a different format to begin with. Must be why I'm a newbie. I did get a couple of sound skips when using the AVI file where as I didn't with WMV, but that may just be a one time hiccup. Thanks for the help. Are there any other all-in-one programs you would suggest? I based my search on WMV conversion so the only two programs that came up was this and DivXToDVD. I'm not out any money yet, so throw them at me. I'm just needing a program to convert media files into the DVD format so I can start putting family vids on DVD.

I actually figured out what it was. For some reason, after I play Half Life 2, my video playback in VideoLAN turns blue... don't ask me why. That game does all sorts of wierd things to my computer.
