Color Issue in Deinterlaced VHS Video Using Hybrid

[Strike]

I’ve been using Hybrid to deinterlace VHS video using QTGMC (VapourSynth) with the "Bob" and "Medium" presets. My primary goal is to achieve decent quality deinterlacing without resizing. The focus is purely on deinterlacing while preserving the original footage quality as much as possible.

The deinterlacing process works really well, however, I’ve noticed an issue with the color in the output. The colors in the deinterlaced video don’t match the original footage - they appear lighter, almost like there’s an increase in contrast or brightness for some reason.

To help diagnose the issue, I've attached two sample files:

• Sample.mpg (Original Interlaced)
  
• Deinterlanced.mpg (Output after deinterlacing)
  

Could you please take a look at the files and let me know what might be causing this color mismatch? Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated!
