Hello:
I have DVD back ups that was transfered from old 16mm film reels. The color is faded and you see a lot of yellow instead of color. Is there way to improve the color.
Thanks in advance

Many NLE's offer color enhancement:
Ulead VideoStudio
Pinnacle Studio

First rip the DVD with VOBEdit->Demux.

Proc amps can do it, hardware.
Even some encoders can, TMPGENC and VirtualDub.
