DivX to MPEG - color problem

[skywize]

I used tmpgenc to convert a divx movie to mpeg 1,
following the instructions in the conversion guide
on this website, and the result was sorta pinkish

Looks like this:
Movie plays, everything starts getting a pinkish glow
(faces turn piggy pink, objects get a pink aura), then
after a few seconds everything goes back to normal
(instantly) after which it goes pink->pinker->pinkest again

Could someone please tell me how to keep my original colors
when converting DivX to MPEG 1?

thanks for any input

I was gonna try and see if the Angelpotion codecs might
cause my color problems (was some hint about it in the
FAQ), however there is no uninstall in the start/program/...
folder and there doesn't seem to be an entry in the
add/remove program section either

SOOOo...how does one get rid of angelpotion?

WOHO After only 16 or so hours I solved my problem
Removing angelpotion codecs from my system made my
color problems during conversion disappear

Here is some sound advice:
if you plan on editing/capturing/converting video files
of any kind make sure you don't have the Angelpotion codecs
installed (if you do then remove them ASAP, delete them,
burn them, shove them up the author's *** )

Hi Skywize!.. I am having the same problem. Please save me 16 hours and let me know how you removed Angelpotion. Thank you!

Any word on how to get rid of angel potion???? or finding out if you even have it????

i have the angelpotion codec and I dont have that problem. Every once in awhile I do but I notice it during the ENCODE and just restart it. It has not done the pinkish thing in awhile.

hey guys,i tried tmpeg ,it gave me that purple stuff..then i tried panasonic mpeg encoder ..it came out as bad(again with this purple stuff....aaarghh)
hmmm...any guess(i have no angel codec installed,all the latest stuff...) thanks

[lozdude1]

i finally got rid of the purple stuff!!!!1 check this out got to
option/environmental setting/vfapi pluging=then put the priority
of the direct show multimedia file reader to 2 or more and leave the rest at 0. bingo!!!
(my initial setting was at -2)

please reply if this did solve your purple problem.

Thanks for the info, unfortunately it does not seem to work, I set the priority of DirectShow to 2 and the rest to 0 but I still get the purple haze? Any ideas!!!! This happens with all my MPEG 4 downloads. Looks like this effects lot's of people, please help!
