x264 with source other than YV12

[florinandrei]

What happens if the video source used for x264 is not YV12? Will the encoder exit with an error message? Or will it continue to apparently work, but produce bad output?

I'm asking because, so far, I used ConvertToYV12() in all my AVS scripts, but it looks like all of my sources are already YV12. I'm just curious what could happen if I don't use ConvertToYV12() with x264 yet the source is not YV12.

The output is always level 4.1, compatible with the AVCHD specifications.

is that hard to check yourself????????????????

It'll give a "DIB" error, same as if your Avisynth script has an error in it.

I used ConvertToYV12() in all my AVS scripts, but it looks like all of my sources are already YV12 In that case ConvertToYV12() will be a nop, so it is harmless to include it.
