Even better, I recorded w/ cinelerra, and although it doesn't color-shift, the video has the same shift problem. When the vid is paused it looks normal, when I play it back in cinelerra it's all shifted, each video line a little more to the left than the one above, here's a screenshot, including the error that pops up:
http://CSRTechnologies.com/cinelerra_error.png This was recording as an AVI. Why wouldn't cinelerra be able to play back it's own recordings? When I play the video in the stock "Movie Player" in ubuntu (the system it was recorded on), it plays correctly. It is only messed up when playing in cinelerra. Ideas?
