> I'm trying to use XCC mixer 1.21 to extract my favorite Tiberian Dawn and Red Alert movies, convert them to AVI, and from there, convert them to mpg so I can put them all on one CD so I don't have switch disks.

> My problem is that all the movies from Tiberian Dawn, and some from Red Alert (namely the soviet ending, but NOT the Allied ending) get messed up upon the first conversion from VQA to AVI using XCC mixer 1.21. By messed up, I mean the colors are fine at the beginning, but when the movie cuts to a new image, the colors turn to mostly blue and red.

> I've had no problems with the Tiberian SUN and Firestorm movies, only the Tiberian Dawn and Red Alert movies.

> My only alternative is the put them all on one CD as VQA's, but I'd prefer to save them as mpgs.

> Is there anything I can do to remedy the problem of the color distortions?

You could use VQA -> PCX and find an app that does PCX -> AVI/MPEG.
