Convert 1080i 4:2:2 for use with x264 encoder

[MrVideo]

I'm going to be able to get my hands on some 1080i29.97 MPEG-2 4:2:2 video (legally), but will ultimately have to find a way to convert the color space to one that the x264 encoder can use.

I use AVISynth scripts to directly feed the x264 encoder, so there won't be a need to make any kind of intermediate file.

Is there a plugin for AVIsynth that will do the trick?

No external plugin required

ConvertToYV12(interlaced=true)

Decent. Thanks.

EDIT: Turns out that is the easy part. Unfortunately the DGDecNV tools do not support 4:2:2 video.

Probably NVIDIA issue , because DGIndex does, as does FFMpegSource2 . (or even directshowsource + ffdshow)

Correct, it's not currently supported by NVCUVID.

DGMPGDec handles it fine.

DGMPGDec handles it fine.

Yep, along with ConvertToYV12(interlaced=true), I was able to convert the sample video to H.264.

:thanks:
