Yellow Hue in Stars Episodes?

I've noticed this wierd yellow hue type thing going on in my Stars episode fansubs. I was wondering if this was an issue with the fansubs or were they aired like this, because most sites with Stars screencaps have the yellow huge in their episodes as well, atleast in the post Nehelenia arc ones.

For example, take this picture of Venus' Crystal henshin from SuperS

and this picture of it from Stars

and you can see the yellow thing going on.

Another example with Mars' Crystal Henshin

It just looks like the brightness is lower to me... O.o;;

I assume your fansubs are VKLL? Mine are, and there is a LOT of yellow, especially later into the series. The Nehelania arc wasn't so bad, but after that, Usagi and Minako's hair, along with any other yellow, was extremely bright/noticable. Usagi's hair practically glows in the dark. I wondered if it was just my tapes, but if your are the same way, who knows.

I'm assuming my Stars tapes are bootlegs from Taiwan. If I'm not mistaken, they were copied from the original laser discs. I don't get the yellow hues, but I've got my share of problems too. I had to watch Sailormoon's final battle with Galaxia in black and white! (I did in fact adjust the contrast on my TV and that did not help) ><;;;

EDIT: Not to mention that the sound quality wasn't always crystal clear.

I checked out my .RM copies of the Stars eps versus my AVI copies of the Stars eps, check these out:

Here's the full-size AVI picture: http://rattleman.digibase.ca/sailormoon ... arsavi.jpg

Also, check out this yellow hue on Hikawa Shrine:

The RM copies seem to have incorrect subs (RM says "Yaten-kun!" is "Hi, Yaten!", AVI says "Yaten-kun!") while the AVIs have (more) correct subs. Some of my AVI eps also have translator notes, while RMs don't.

That is quite the extreme example of yellow hues.

Mine are copies of "official" VKLL tapes, and they look exactly like RattleMan's .RMs, maybe even a little more bright (I'm not sure, I haven't watched them recently.) I haven't adjusted anything on any screen they've been seen on, but they were all really yellow. But only in places where they're SUPPOSED to be yellow, not, like,...all over. Just that the yellow is intense.

edit: neat-o, 300 posts!

If the fan subs are on a disc, were they originally on a VHS? Quality of VHS tapes tend to lose picture quality and get freaky color hues (or lose color, period). Just a guess.
