Hi Scott.

I've tried a few times since you posted your question, and i keep
getting a 404 Not Found error on the link to your image0.jpg file. If you
get it posted, please let me know so i can take a look at it.

Without being able to see the image, i'll take a random guess that
maybe you used to low a bitrate when creating your source file. If you
compress MPEG too much, there isn't enough information left to
reconstruct a good image.

I tried looking too, no such URL.

Anyhow taking a stab in the dark if you mean the entire video has a greenish tint, I've seen the same thing, only red, if I tried to apply the HSL filter directly to a MPG file. Video Factory can't handle it. My experience is if you use the HSL filter on a AVI file it works OK.

So, have you used the HSV filter on the MPEG file?

I just checked it out myself, I'd uploaded the file directly after posting that message.

The url is correct, the problem is that image0.jpg is Image0.jpg unix based server and unix is a stickler for case sensitive issues.
