Can I fix a blu-ray rip that's too red?

[twogurusindrag]

On more than one occasion, I have downloaded a rip of a TV show or movie, and the red is so high it's unwatchable. (For some reason, it's always the red.) I'm wondering if it can be fixed without the blu-ray being re-ripped? The files are MKVs. I know there are a bunch of video experts here, so I thought I'd ask. Thanks.

Yes! You can use Curves to remove a bit of red, I did it alot of times in faded films

You're talking about Frame.io?

The advanced settings on your tv will have controls for the amount of red, green or blue. Just tweak those and remember to change them back later.

No, any video edit software can do that

Or check if it's maybe set to too red by default, as was the case on my tv. That clearly looks too red for some content but not for all, but that still means the problem doesn't lie within the content where it's obvious but rather the device. Same way you also wouldn't re-EQ your audio rips just because they sound tinny on your laptop speakers.

If they're ripped from bluray then they shouldn't be reddish unless it's a very faded old print which seems unlikely on a bluray release.

What are you watching them on? A software player? Maybe change players. It does sound more like a playback issue to me, and not something up with the source.

"Avidemux" is my favorite sofrware for working with video, it has a lot of tools for video correction/adjustments. It will convert virtually any format to any other, both in regard to video and audio (as long as the two are compatible with each other).
