You Too’s recent excellent work on fixing the Blu Ray colors has inspired me to reverse engineer what was done to the DVD/Blu Ray releases that caused the colors to be so badly messed up. While he is on the right track and is getting good results, I feel it would be instructive to know WHY the colors are bad, as this leads to a less subjective and more scientific method to recovering the correct colors.

It turns out that the answer is quite simple.

Over the course of the next few weeks, I plan to detail the following:

1. Exacly what was done to the DVD (and Blu Ray) colors.

2. Why the colors are not perfectly recoverable.

3. How to recover the color as best as possible.

4. The tools required to do so.

Stay tuned…
