Vidcap Huffyuv to Xvid YV12 using Avisynth 2.5

[kempodragon]

Now that Avisynth 2.5 has reached beta level, I'm thinking seriously of upgrading. However, I need some clarification of the colorspace conversion process. My captures are Huffyuv in YUY2 and I encode to Xvid with the developer builds, resulting in YV12 colorspace. As I understand the docs, 2.5 operates natively in YV12. What I need to know is should I let Avisynth convert my file to YV12 and pass it straight to Xvid or do I have to do any other coversions? I've read the post about encoding to YUY2, but nothing is mentioned about encoding to YV12.

The color conversion should be made automatically, all you have to do is load up the filters in the avs and encode.

Thats right, though you might get a small speed gain if you use ConvertToYV12() right after the AviSource, since YV12 is less data for the filters to process (I think).
