Fixing right green strip Sony Hi8 ccd-trv66e PAL

[GT_22]

Hello,

I'm having the common green strip issue on Sony PAL camcorders, in the right overscan region.

I understood that not much could be done hardware wise, it seems to be caused by an inbuilt chroma filter, the V channel is inverted.

So I searched for software solutions.

I was using Balanced borders / edge fixer, with relatively good results.

But I could still clearly see the filtering on the right when I watched my videos (because I knew it was there, and it was annoying).

I ended up cropping the right 12px and adjusting the format for peace of mind.

I just read a Hybrid chromashift script on the digitalfaq forums which seemed quite interesting, didn't know about the chromashift filter honestly:

import chromashift
import havsfunc
b = chromashift.ChromaShift(clip=clip, shift_right=14).std.Crop(left=694).std.AddBorders(left=694)
c = clip.std.Crop(right=26)
clip = havsfunc.Overlay(b,c,0,0,opacity=1)

It is from Selur which I believe is the Author of Hybrid himself.

However I get a havsfunc error when I try to preview. I did a quick search here and apparently havsfunc is no longer in use in Hybrid 2025.07.27.1

Is there a way to do it without using havsfunc, or is there another way of fixing this common issue that I'm not aware of?

I joined a small 720*576 PAL .avi lags file that I captured with a Hauppauge USBLive2 capture device in Virtualdub2 build 44282.

The green "chromastrip" is very strong with warm/yellowish artificial lights. Sometimes the strip goes purple when the video is blue (sky, sea...).

I'm not experienced at all, both in scripting and Hybrid, but I'm always learning and I think I can follow a step by step procedure.

Any help is highly appreciated thank you guys.
