Encoding Problem

[eizo2007]

Hello Everyone,
I would like to ask if anyone has experienced the problem i have:
I have re encoded an AVI to MPEG2(dvd).The problem is the new video is darker and more red than the original.
I tried using different encoding software,and they all came with same result.
I have removed all the codecs from the pc ,so that should not be the cause.
Hope someone can help.
Thanks

If you take a screen shot of the info shown by MediaInfo someone may be able to help. Saying it's "avi" doesn't give much info as that's just the container.
