[VCDImager] Muddy quality and a green line

[KenBotwinick]

Hi,

I am having a few problems and I'm not sure if they are due to mjpeg 
tools or vcdimager. I was hoping someone could help me.

I am on Mac OS X. I capture video in iMovie from my DV camcorder. It 
looks great. I convert it to mjpeg format using Quicktime Pro. It still 
looks great. I use mksvcd (mjpegtools 1.4.1) to create an mpeg2 and then 
I use vcdimager 0.7.10 to build the image. I then burn it to CD with 
Toast Titanium.

When I watch the SVCD on TV it is very muddy. Everything is darker than 
it should be. The shadows lose their detail. The colors lose their 
saturation. And there is also a green line on the right side of the 
screen. What's going on? Any ideas?

I think it's great that mjpeg tools are free, but I'd pay for Cleaner if 
it had better quality output (and if it was faster considering it says 
it's optimized for the G4). Does anyone have any opinions on this? 
Anyone successfully use Cleaner to achieve better results?

Thanks for any help.
