prerender job in megui can't load huffy in avisynth

[mitsubishi]

Hi, I thought I saw a solution to this the other day, but now I need it I can't find it. I thought since my script can't even render in real time I'd give the pre-render job option a try. Problem is the file plays if I open it in MPC, but avisynth errors

Calling setup of processor failed with error The file W:\hfyu_final2.avs cannot be opened.
Error message for your reference: AVISource: couldn't locate a decompressor for fourcc FFVH
Do I need a filter for avisynth? I couldn't find one at warpenterprises. The only answer I could find was to enable huffy in ffdshow and it is enabled anyway, it plays in MPC.

If I get this working, what would be better to do since I'm loading a DGAVCDecode source, converting to rgb for some filters and then converting back to YV12 for x264. Would I be better skipping the convert back and adding to the huffy script or does huffy need YV12 too or just not matter?

While I'm here, is the auto-crop protected memory bug known about, I can't find mention of it?

You need a vfw decoder for huffyuv. Use ffdshow and in the ffdshow vfw config look udner decoder -> codecs and set huffyuv to 'libavcodec'

Thanks check, that's got her working. It was your post (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=965076#post965076) I was referring to that I had found, but didn't realise you meant vfw settings.

What button? :confused:

the 'pre render' button :)

Tis not button, tis a "check box". :)
Or, as the Brits would say, a "tick box".

Anyway, the confusing part here is the difference between DirectShow and VFW... The default FFDShow setting is on for one, and not the other. This is why it plays in MPC, but can't be rendered directly into the encoder.

Hey Check, why are the default settings like this? Is there a potential downside to automatically enabling Raw formats for VFW?

It depends on whether you feel having ffdshow handle all raw video is a "potential downside" or not :)
