After cleaning up some old home video in Virtual Dub, I was comparing the result with the original and noticed that the video I touched up has a mild/moderate green tint. The only filters I applied were...
1. Smart Deinterlace 2.8 beta 1 (frame-and-field differencing, edge directed interpolation, compare color channels instead of luma, motion map denoising, motion threshold=12)
2. Null tranform for cropping
3. Resize (Lanczos3) back to 720x480

The result was saved using the Panasonic DV codec. Does anything about that setup sound like it could be causing the green tint? Comparing the result (playing in Windows Media Player) to what I see in VirtualDub, I wonder if it's not the codec. What I see in VDub looks okay. Ideas?

Yes, Pansonic DV is terrible. Try Cedocida:

Any particular reason to save the edited video back to the DV format again?
