Bad color tint added in m2v encode process

Question

I figure DVD Studio Pro people may have this issue because it involves compressing m2vs
I exported some footage that I had color corrected very specifically, but after it goes through Compressor in an m2v conversion, it comes with this awful red tint. I can go back to the original movie and try to overcompensate, but I shouldn't have this problem.
Anyone else experience this?

Ick...
1) until you know the exceptions to the rule, always use PreparedStatement, never Statement.
2) your database is smart, if you use it smarly. The worst way to use it is as a totally dumb repository of data which you load into your application, as exemplified by your login code.
3) Your resultset is automatically positioned in the right spot for iterating when you recieve it; you don't need to call result.first(), and when you call result.next(), you're moved to the 2nd record, your code skips the first user.
4) Since I almost never use first(), I can't be sure, but I think it fails when you have an empty result set, that might be what's giving the cursor state message...
I'd code this as:
    try{
      // correct the SQL for whatever your column names actually are
      statement = conn.createPreparedStatement("SELECT COUNT(*) FROM USETS where un = ? and pw = ?");
      statement.setString(1,user);
      statement.setString(2,pass);    
      ResultSet resultset = statement.executeQuery();
      resultset.next();
       if ( resultset.getInt(1) > 0 ) found = true;
    }catch(Exception ee){
      ee.printStackTrace();
    finally {
      statement.close();
    }One real problem this has is that it's passing a cleartext password over the network; of course your design is storing a cleartext password in the DB, which is also less than ideal. Many secure applications don't actually store the password, they store a salted MD5 hash of the password; when a login request is recieved, the submitted password is hashed and compared to the stored hash.
