With 0.93.2(Pro), I'm having troubles backing up Curb Your Enthusiasm Season 3 Disc 2. There are 4 or so episodes and a bonus section with actor interviews. The bonus section is in YUV 4:4:4 color format, which is causing me the problems.
I'm typing this from work so I don't have access to the ini or log files, but I think I can tell you enough from memory.
I discovered the problem during the encoding phase with HC .14. An error popped up that said "File v03000000001001 shows completed, but no .M2V file exists." Again, I'm at work, so the exact file name was probably different. I tried CCE 2.67, which silently recorded the error in the log.
So I opened the corresponding .avs file in Windows Media Player to see if I get video. Instead of video, I see an error message (red letters on black background) that says the color format 4:4:4 is unsupported. I look up the changelog of DGMPGDecVersion 1.1.0 and learn that "mpeg2source() now throws an error on 4:4:4 input, it could handle it but AviSynth 2.5 does not have internal YUV 4:4:4 support - 4:2:2 PLANAR post-processing support."
Out of curiosity, I modified the 4:4:4 .avs files to load Nic's decoder instead, and I was able to get video. I had to modify the .avs to load the vob, which resulted in new .d2v files. I then referenced the new .d2v files in the 4:4:4 .avs files. I couldn't rebuild, though, because the frame counts were different from the prepare stage.
Is there anything I can do, or is 4:4:4 off limits for now?
Thanks
