Open an rm file

[hellgauss]

I have a .rm file to recompress. I want to use avisynth so i can use filter to improve compressibility.
So i installed the real decoder.... the file play ok on player, but when i open it with VDM using an avs script the luminance and the chrominance are "out of phase".

This is a screen from vdm:

The avs script is a simple line:
directshowsource("..../file.rm", fps=25)

Where is the problem?

Thanks

try put converttoyv12() after it?

or maybe converttoyuy2() if that doesn't work.

i think the issue is a colourspace thing - doesn't .rm express the colour channels differently?

also an issue might be the codec that's decoding YV12 or whatever directshowsource is delivering the clip as - xvid or ffdshow can be used for any colourspace if there's problems with the one windows is using. you can hack the registry to change it. (search in regedit for "vidc." and you'll get the place where all the codecs go. then you can add a string value that corresponds to the appropriate colourspace, like YUY2 or YV12, and set "xvid.dll" or whatever to it).
