VICE - .avi output - colour issues

The .avi file created by VICE plays fine, and looks great.

The problem is, on loading the .avi file into a video editor, the colours are displayed incorrectly. Black, grey, white look fine. The various shades of blue are displayed as either Red, Pink, or Yellow ?

VICE options selected:

FFMPEG
Format: avi
Audio codec: PCM (uncompressed) - Bitrate 64000
Video codec: FFV1 (lossless) - Bitrate: 80000

Results in an .avi file
Frame size: 384x272
FPS: 50

Could it be that the video editor you use mix up the components, so that RGB turing into BGR or something similar?

Or perhaps some gamma correction setting somewhere?

That, or you drink too much beer while watching demos, so that by the time you start editing the video, you have a blurry vision.

‘gamma correction’ could be the solution.

The editor I use is Vegas, and this is the first time a video file has appeared with unusual colours, which makes me think the problem is with the file, not the editor.

Is it the first time you're pushing a FFV1-encoded video to the editor aswell?

and btw, whatever gamma correction certainly is completely unrelated to this problem =P

i cant get VICE 2.3 to make avi at all...

the option isnt available, even with the ffmpeg files in VICE dir.

Wile Coyote: dont think that many video eds know FFV1..

yes

I tried running the .avi through a video converter slecting Codec FFV1 and the resulting .avi worked fine in the video editor. I think the problem is with VICE.

so when the video editor cant deal with the video, and running it through another tool which can deal with it fixes that, then the problem is VICE?! lol?!

The video converter appears to add something to the .avi file that VICE is failing to add.

vice doesnt add anything to the video file really. vice uses ffmpeg as backend. (and you might find out that this converter thingy does too =P).

that said, you can usually assume that ffmpeg does produce valid avis.
