[Fwd: Re: [clug] Codec colour mangling (esp. with MythTV)]

The reason there is no Hue control for you to adjust is that you are not 
using NTSC the american composite analog tv standard.

The PAL system we use and Component sampling are not prone to hue 
(chroma phase) shift problems.

I suspect your assesment of a driver problem is correct.

I further suspect it was not found because if it was tested with your 
hardware, it was probably in the american centric world.

Becareful of advice originating from the USA on this issue.
