What is causing this green cast on this VHS, it only happens during the hockey game the rest of the tape is fine.

JVC HR7900U, Av8710, Matrox MX02. Get the same problem on my Panasonic AG5710.

It's a "Matrox Mpeg2 I-Frame codec" videoclip and usually requires Matrox vfw codecs, yet on VLC it plays fine.

i don't think you can recover the colors (i couldn't at least); it would be best to convert into a nice black & white or get a better vcr / tbc

As I can see, the recorded footage itself is the problem, possibly due to the camera settings. You can try to fix it via software.

Assuming the VCR isn't damaged, this is typical of homeshot video in the 80s. I see a lot of that sort of ghostly color casts. It's terrible, almost impossible to fix. B&W is sometimes the only way to make it enjoyably watchable. At best, try to correct cast as much as possible, then severely desaturate.

Now, that said, I've done some pretty amazing color cast fixes. We have a green video on the masthead of our Facebook page, and the sample is here somewhere. Not gotten around to posting work samples yet.

Wonder if some (not all) of the color cast is due to the arena lighting?

Probably so. Gyms have terrible color casts from lightbulbs that are invisible to your eyes, but not to film/video. Worse yet, most gyms seem to have bulbs that give different casts: green, red, orange, yellow. So those images become unsalvageable color-wise.
