    Usually if I download a fuzzy or blochy AVI, I use V-dub to improve the quality. I may use any number of different filters (depending on what the original looks like) then I use DivX for compression (bitrate depends on the project). Of course the files become considerably larger, but they normaly clean up nicely with this process.
    I was using the Pro 5.03 codec and just recently installed 5.05, that seems to be when the problem started. Now when I use the same method, I get a better quality file, but also a red hue over parts of the vid. About every 5 seconds the red color starts to build and gets progressively darker for a few more seconds then the normal color comes back. It plays like this throughout the entire movie: normal-->red-->normal-->red-->normal,etc. The original video file plays normaly in a player (although blury and blochy), but when I watch the imput processing window in V-dub it shows red in the unprocessed original!
    I've tried different bitrates, frame size, etc. It seems that it's the new codec. Has this happened to someone else? I couldn't get any clues reading other threads. Please help.

    Check if you have the angelpotion codec installed, if you do, uninstall it!!

    Dela, you are amazing. I download that codec then tried to use V-dub. V-dub gave a warning that basicly said "don't use this", and I didn't. I thought that I deleted it, but I checked and it was still there! I'm going to try to get rid of it again. Thank you so much!
