From my web site:

"Here is a comparison of a TMPGEnc 12a encode using a raw DV Type 1 avi source encoded in CBR to SVCD and extracted as a still using Premiere 6. The still on the right uses the Avisynth program to feed the encoder. You will note the shift in color and you can make your own judgement concerning image quality - I have made mine. Remember these are SVCD frames stretched to the 4:3 viewing aspect ratio."

That is just a colorspace bug. Try again with your .avs loader file, and use one of the following for a test.

.ConvertToRGB() .ConvertToRGB32() .ConvertToYUY2() .ConvertToYV12()

I have had the best results when I export the video using the YUY2 colorspace, and have had much worst results than the image you show when using other colorspaces.

Each program you use will probably react differently to each of the available colorspaces, so play around with them. Avisynth is to great of a tool for you to overlook just because it requires a small learning curve to use. If you need some help with scripting, let me know and I'll see if I can help (between 2 full time jobs and fixing friends computers and websites.....)

Good luck, Matthew Kreh
