QuEnc and YUY2 only

[Tau]

Hi and thanks for reading my post!

I am compressing an .avi into mpeg2 for a DVD.

I have an uncompressed .avi. I have created .avs for it using Gordian Knot. When I load the .avs into QuEnc, the encoder says "Avisynth open failure: unDot: Supports YUY2 color format only". I have never seen this error.

Could anybody kindly help solving this, please?

Many thanks in advance!

try ConvertToYV12()

actually the error message is pretty clear what the problem is, undot requires yuy2. so actually you would need

converttoyuy2()
undot()
converttoyv12()

A little too explicit, in fact....

if (!vi.IsYUY2() && !vi.IsYV12())
{
env->ThrowError("UnDot: Supports YUY2 color format only");
}

It supports YV12 just fine, even if it doesn't say so. :p

ah of course it does. you cant blame QuEnc though for just reporting the error message its given from Avisynth. :)

so yes a converttoyv12() before undot() should be all thats needed.

sorry to bump, but how would you add ConvertToYV12() to the default avs settings in gknot. I'd rather have it default so I wouldnt need to enter it manually everytime.
