OK, this has completely frustrated the heck out of me. Here's the picture of my problem, and then I'll explain how this happened.

About a year ago I captured some travel footage from my hi8 camera through a hauppage card using Virtualdub 1.8.8, using the huffyuv codec, YUV2, 640x480. Output was into an avi file. Now, here's the strange thing. When I viewed the output file in anything other than virtualdub, like windows media player, or mplayer on linux, it looked like the above image. But when I viewed it on virtualdub, it looked like a correct real life video image, with all the colors in the right place.
Fast forward to today. My harddrive dies, so I reinstall on a new harddrive windows, linux, etc, Virtualdub, the latest and 1.8.8, all the codecs including the same huffyuv codec, and not a single one of my video files looks like a correctly captured video file. They all look like the above picture.
I've spent the last two days trying to figure out what's going on, and why, and so far, the codecs are consistent, eg. huffyuv 2.2., I also tested with 2.1.1, I've experimented with filters to no avail, and I'm now at a lost. The only clue I've got is when I play the file in mplayer on the command line in linux, it says
Could not find matching colorspace - retrying with -vf scale
So, I explored the colorspace matching thing, and that had no solutions.
What's happened to my Virtualdub setup that I can no longer see my video files in their normal correct colors? All the settings are the same. Before, I had to post process and cut in Virtualdub, because only Virtualdub could decode and view the files correctly, before editing in Premier. Now, nothing can see the files correctly. Please advise. This is driving me nuts.
