Hello,

I recently got a friend to cap an ancient VHS tape using his DVD recorder, and for some reason the picture has quite a severe green hue/tint to it. I converted the DVD to an AVI and played it in Quicktime, adjusting the picture with QT's "tint" slider and got it to something close to natural looking, albeit with a slight orange glow. But if that's as good as it can get, that will do. Anything but that green! Ick.

I'm guessing that Avisynth would be the best tool to use to fix this problem, but I haven't used it for a few years and have no idea what filter would be best to use.

Any pointers in the right direction would be welcome. :)

Play with the values of ColorYUV(off_u=x,off_v=y) for such color corrections. -10 to 10 is usually more than enough.
