I've been capturing tv to MJPEG, editing it in AVISynth and feeding it into CCE to encode MPEG2's to be used on a Video-DVD. After playing the m2v (or mpv) in PowerDVD, I've noticed that the colors seem to be off a bit. The image seems to have an orange tinge to it, particularly noticable on skin tones. I've looked at the AVISynth feed of the video in VirtualDub, and it looks good, so I believe it is going into CCE with the right color information. Is there some color space I have to feed into CCE? My .avs looks like this:

LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\Decomb.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins\Convolution3DYV12.dll")

SegmentedAVISource("cap_0.avi")
ConvertToYV12()

Telecide().Decimate(cycle=5)
AddRange(53707,7496)++AddRange(66992,7701)++AddRange(80584,16249)

Crop(2,4,-2,-2)
Convolution3D (0, 6, 10, 6, 8, 2.8, 0)
LanczosResize(720,480)

ConvertToYUY2()

# to easily translate VirtualDub's version of "Trim()"
function AddRange(clip c, int s, int r)
{ return c.Trim(s,s+r-1)
}

Or is there something in PowerDVD that might be causing these bad colors? Perhaps I should just open the .m2v in vdub via avisynth...

it could be you've accidentally changed the overlay settings in your vid card driver, or in powerdvd, or you need to change the luminance setting in CCE to the other one from what you are using.

Ah, I found it. PowerDVD has an option for Color Control which was set to "Vivid". Setting it to "Original" eliminates the orangey flesh tones.
