Well, so much for that theory... the combination of HC with the colorspace plugin yields "odd" reds
It shouldn't. Most players ignore the header, or assume Rec.601 when playing dvd's.

If i understand it correctly, HC doesn't write the colorimetry parameter in the header. Meaning that it should be treated as Rec.601. Yes, first we thought it should be treated as Rec.709 (like jdobbs stated at that time), based on some outdated mpeg-2 specs. Based on the latest mpeg-2 specs, and what players do, we changed our opinion. I'm sure you can find those discussions in the AviSynth forum, or wherever they took place.

What does info=1 report on the source?
Code:
MPEG2Source("Input.d2v",info=1,ipp=true,cpu=4)
More important. How are you playing the file?
