Greentouch after encoding

[Mr.Ash]

Cause there's no answer in the general discusion i post my suggestion here.
As the title says, there's a greentouch in the videopicture everitime i encode a video with ffmpegX. I haven't noticed this a long time but it's realy true! The picture has clear colours before the encoding, but after the process it has a clear visible greentouch all over the picture. It doesent matter witch movieplayer (QT,VLC,MPlayer...) is use, the greentouch ist always visible. I tried to reinstall ffmpegX but that doesen't solved anything. The ffmpeg and mencoder engines produces the worst greentouch of all. This can't be normal can it?

Could you post more details and may be post some screenshots?
Do you encode in mpg1, mpg2, divx, xvid, etc... ?

I've had a greentouch in the past with mencoder engine when i converted some black&white DVD to xvid... But i think the problem has been resolved...

For me, the problem is a first green frame on every mpg1 and i've no answer

No this greentouch presists always no green frames or something. Here's a sample picture. I've encoded a .mov to divx .avi using the ffmpeg engine. The left picture shows the origina and in th right picture you can see this slight greentouch.

Sorry but i don't see the greentouch...
If i take a 5x5 points sample in the background:
LEFT:
R=230
G=230
B=230

RIGHT:
R=251
G=248
B=254

So it's more magenta...

I can't help you... sorry..

I don't use this technical stuff to discribe a picture. I trust my eyes and what i see. Everyone i asked about this said that the right picture has a slight greentouch. Don't you see this by yourself? Trust your eyes!
The only thing i wonder is why? Why doesn't ffmpegX produce a picture with the same colours as the source? Why change them?
It doesen't matter what those test tools results are, the eye can see the difference very clearly.
I switched my test movie to black/white and encoded it again. If you don't see the greentouch now then you must be blind.

[Toche]

I'm not blind
It's more visible on the B&W.
Remember that ffmpegX is just a GUI, so maybe try with an other application that use ffmpeg engine to be sure that's a ffmpegx's problem.

[Mr.Ash]

Sorry for the blind stuff. I'm aware of it that ffmpegX is just a GUI. But the same happens when i use the mencoder engine. When i use mencoder for itself, there's no greentouch. Also the mpeg2enc engine doesen't produce this green stuff. Witch tool uses the ffmpeg engine too, so i can test it.
