Wierd (but solvable?) question for SVCD to DVD MPEG2

[pnag]

Hi folks,
I have a three SVCD movie that *seems* to contain too much blue, (not enough green/red?) and is EXTREMELY! bright in parts. Using Tmpgenc or some other encoder, is it possible to fix it? I also want to re-master it for use as a DVD. Thanks for your time,

PnaG.

Hi PnaG,

There are color/brightness correction filter built-in Tmpgenc, but, as I
know, it can not be applied to selected parts of the source, only whole
one. In general, Tmpgenc (or any other encoder) has a very limited
correction/editing/effects capabilities, but there are much more
powerful VIDEO EDITING utilities, that does have a lot of them.

About, reencoding to DVD MPEG, Tmpgenc can do it for you.
May be you have to play a little bit with encoder settings, but, in general,
you can produce DVD that will looks as good as source SVCD.

Hi Mark,
first off, thanks for your reply! Second, what kind of video utilites will do this? Forgive my ignorance, please! Thank for your time,
PnaG.

Hi PnaG,

I am talking about programs like Adobe Premiere, Ulead VideoStudio or
MediaStudio, MGI VideoWave and so on. May be, VirtualDub is good for
editing/corrections too, but I have no idea.

I use Ulead VideoStudio that has enough editing capabilities, at least for
me, built-in MPEG2 encoder (not bad at all), and DVD authoring features
- kind of all-in-one solution.

BUT, understand me right way, Tmpgenc is very good (if not the best)
software encoder, so, if you can make all desired color corrections by its
filters, use it, do not start to bother with anything else.
