Can't open a YV12 script in VirtualDubMod

[Si]

I'm a bit confused (no change there then :o )
I'm starting down the converting my plugins to handle YV12.

I have a simple script:

AVISource("d:\vtest\Voy 6x11e Fair Haven Huf TS2 PRF rHuf rM19.avi")
ConvertToYV12()
return last

that gives an error saying I don't have a YV12 decompressor installed when I load in into VirtualDubMod.

1) Should I be able to load it? (or do I have to convert back to YUY2 before the return statement?

if so

2) I've got Kopei's Build (08:01:32 Oct 4, 2002 in about box) - is that a late enough version. (I get confused with when Avisynth.orgs mentions a file named [XviD-04112002-1 or newer] :confused: )

Is the error you're getting saying that you don't have a compatible YV12 VFW decompressor? If so, you need to install either a newish Xvid binary (i don't know which exactly) which includes a YV12 VFW decompressor, or divx5.0x which also includes one. Personally I went with the divx5 option, just so I could keep my stable xvid binary. The third alternative would be to avoid needing a YV12 VFW by using avs2avi, which doesn't need to preview.

I believe that putting a ConvertToYUY2() at the end should make it openable by vdub/vdubmod. The fact that the stable version doesn't work in YV12 isn't the cause of your problems, since it's vdub that can't preview the stream, so it's not an xvid issue.

Thanks - you've clarified the situation - I'll just use ConverttoYUY2 at the end of my scripts to test them out.

It might mask some errors in my plugins but I'd rather that than install DivX5 :devil:

@mrBunny - thanks as well.

reply delayed due to server giving me a too busy message earlier!

As mention many times already, the developer build of Koepi's XviD supports YV12.

@sh0dan
You know me - if its got unstable, development or alpha in it - it frightens me away :D

@siwalters2) I've got Kopei's Build (08:01:32 Oct 4, 2002 in about box) - is that a late enough version. (I get confused with when Avisynth.orgs mentions a file named [XviD-04112002-1 or newer] ) 04112002 translates to 4 November 2002.
