The final movie shows different colors than the source files (AVI)

[DavidJ]

I create active screen captures with HyperCam 2, which creates AVIs that I
compile into a movie with Windows Movie Maker.

When I view the original AVI in WMP, it looks fine. When I view the AVI in
Movie Maker, it looks fine.

But after I make it into a movie, the color yellow appears as orange.

OS = Windows Vista SP1

What can I do to fix this?

Thanks!

It is probably an avi that is not compatibile with MM, there are over 800 of
them and only dv.avi works well.
Convert the avi to wmv and see how that goes
Some programmes that will do it here

Here's some things I forgot to mention.

These AVIs were fine when I compiled them in Windows Move Maker on XP. Now
on Vista, however, they render orange (instead of yellow).

Another thing could be that I have installed Adobe Photoshop, and I don't
know if Adobe Gamma corrector (or some other component) has messed with the
ICC color profile for Vista. I've looked at those settings in Vista, played
with them a bit, but that doesn't seem to affect the output.

Again, these AVIs were screen captures from XP, and they worked fine in WMM
for XP. Those same AVI's don't render when compiled in WMM for Vista.

Other than converting them all to WMV (and then redoing the whole project
again with the new files), any other suggestions?

Thanks!
