As part of
BDtoAVCHD software I developed this plug-in for optimize Blu-Ray 3D to SBS/TAB conversions. Is based on Intel Media SDK 2021 R1 and can be used on all systems (SW acceleration) or on Intel Graphics systems (HW acceleration - Intel Quick Sync). Can decode elementary AVC/MVC both streams combined in the same file or in separated files.
Now I opened this thread so it's can be used for more purposes/applications in addition to original usage.
Current version can also decode 2D HEVC/AVC/VC-1/MPEG2 streams (included UHD 10 bit color for HEVC).
REQUIREMENTS
- Windows 10/8.1/8/7 (32 or 64-bit)
- AviSynth 2.6.0 (32-bit) or AviSynth+ (32/64-bit)
DOWNLOAD
LIMITATIONS- No seek supported. Only strictly linear decoding is allowed.

PARAMETERS
Code:
MVCsource("X:\path_to_AVC.h264", "X:\path_to_MVC.h264", number_of_frames, output_format)
number_of_frames: number of frames that contains .h264 files
output_format:
0 : AVC frames only
1 : MVC frames only
2 : interleaved AVC-MVC frames (AVC odd)
-2 : interleaved MVC-AVC frames (AVC even)
Notes:
- If number_of_frames specified is lower that actual number of frames in .h264 file, output is trimmed. Also if is greater additional black frames are inserted to complete requested number of frames.
- Output is already YV12 color format, please do not insert ConvertToYV12() in scripts.
- Correct framerate is taken from stream, please do not insert AssumeFPS() in scripts.
- In interleaved left-right direct outputs frame rate is doubled (2x). It's not a bug! That's the functionality that is intended.
- From version 2.0.0 it's also possible to specify a 2D elementary stream (AVC/VC-1/MPEG2) in the first parameter. In this case must leave the empty second parameter "" and output_format = 0.
- NEW: from version 2.8.0 can also decode 2D HEVC elementary stream (only using HW mode).
