how do you better the quality of a conversion ?

First off thanks to all for keeping this site so usefull,informative,and up to date. I've posted maybe 2 times in 2 years I hope this isnt a moronic question.
When I go from divix/avi to mpeg why does the final mpeg-1 conversion some times come out with a fluxuating red hue?

How can you spped up the fps ? and does that help a conversion where the movie kind of lags behind the sound leaving you with early sound and a trail of movement.

I use v*d to xtract wave and Tm**enc for the conversion.

templates I use the defaults and also the p**y vcd ones

Oh and lastly is there an optimal setting for the filters and stuff,that can give a good reproducable conversion, with out haveing to readjust it every time?

Thanks all and happy holidays

is the reason I get red shadows the template, or is it I have the wrong filters up?
