lost color saturation after re-code CCE

I have noticed that i have lost saturation in, infact all movies i have processed with CCE. Dont think this problem is DVD-RB related, but if there is anyone who have seen the same problem and found a solution, please let me know. I dont know if its ok to post images, but here is 2 anyways, the darker properly saturated image is from original disc, and the less saturated image is the from the result from CCE encoding. its not a big problem and only obvious if you compate the original with the backup. I am using the follwing setup dvd decrypter 3510 DVD-RB 0.67 CinemaCraft.Encoder.SP.v2.66.01.07 avisunth 2.5.4 MPEG2Dec3dg.dll

Should add that the disc's i have used have all been NTSC. Have tried CCE SP 2.5 with the same resulst also. Is there any filters, and if there is, how to use them to maintain the original color saturation.

Maybe that's why some one said (refering colors): NTSC (Never The Same Color) PAL (Perfection At Last :D :D :D

You can adjust the color saturation with the AVISYNTH "Tweak()" function. I do this all the time with DV video feeds. See info

thanks jdobbs, i have played around in photoshop from screen shots i have taken from both the original and the cce encoded copy and found out that the cce encode lacks +10 in hue/saturation. (meaning that if i add this number to the encode image screenshot, it look as the original) i am going to try this tweek you presented, ill post an image or the results tomorrow morning when the CCE encode is finished.

For those interested... there are tons of things that can be done with AVISYNTH... you might want to take a look at that forum.

Could use some instructions. so if i want to add +10 saturation to a movie, i would add Tweak(0,10,0,1) correct?? where do i make this adjustment, and how do i implement it to work with DVD-RB, or is that automatically saved for all future encodes, when i have made the tweak i mean, or do i have to do this everytime i have a new source? followed the link on avisynth webpage to the filter editor which i saw mentioned in this thread () but the link there seem to be dead? is this the editor i need? could someone that have experience with this provide a simple step/guide on how to add this tweak

ColorMatrix, lads, ColorMatrix.

thanks Boulder, the link you posted seem to be the answer to my first question. i read the link you posted, and found colormatrix v15, and the updated presumably faster colormatrix in the same forum can i ask you how to implement this into the DVD-RB process? downloaded both files, but i cant figure it out. using DVD-RB 0.67, help? thanks also dannyv for explaining the tweak further, but i am leaning more towards the colormatrix tweak, as i read that its a common problem (loosing colors)

Bonefish Use RB-Opt to add the line ColorMatrix() right after the LoadSource() line in the avs script. At least Im pretty sure that is where it goes. EDIT: And of course you need the LoadPlugin line to load the colormatrix filters.
