a. tnx a lot, so i guess for huff it is similar? like :
vcodec=huffyuv:format=bgr32 - will that store alpha as well?

---

b. another question, what version of ffdshow should one get (and where?) for proper win playback of ffv1?

---

c. and another thing concerning mplayer and avs, is it possible that mplayer forces avisynth to always return only yv12?
(i was trying to use '-vo md5sum' to find out that:
original != ffv1 when
huff = ffv1
p.s. when i compare using avisynth compare function, then:
original = huff
at least i cant seem to find any other explanation.... )

a. ffmpeg's huffyuv does rgb decoding, but can only encode yv12 or yuy2.
b. ffv1 hasn't changed in a while, so any build >= 2005 february should work. I can't recommend one in particular.
c. Yes, mplayer invokes ConvertToYV12() if the avs isn't already. There's no particular reason for this, just whoever is in charge of demux_avs.c never implemented other colorspaces.

I been tested Logarith codec (ver. 1.3.9) wich I downloaded from site (http://lags.leetcode.net).

And found that it have the same issue as 1.3.8 ver.: a bug that allowed YUY2 and YV12 video to be decoded as RGB16.

So i looked at files in archive wich I downloaded more carefully (it`s name was Lagarith_139.zip): in properties of lagarith.dll i looked at version, it was 1.3.8!!!

May be author made a wrong version build?... (or just uploaded a wrong file?...)

stupidies marked by gray...
i`m sorry.. codec work fine.. mixed out some thing...

What does lagarith do differently then huffyuv? Prediction? huffman encoding? I'm using a modified huffyuv codec with the median prediction and a simplified huffman table (one table for all three YUV planes) and it's working fine, but maybe I could 'borrow' something from lagarith to make my codec faster?

...don't really know, what different, anyway compression is grater, but encoding is slower.

Arithmetic coding instead of huffman.

Hi. I did some very rudementary tests here on my DualCore Athlon 4200 in VDUB 1.6.17 DVCAM AVI file 4:2:2 -->

Lagarith 1.3.11 RGB24 SMP 42 Sec 328MB
Lagarith 1.3.11 RGB24 NON-SMP 53 Sec 328MB
Lagarith 1.3.11 YV12 SMP 37 Sec 165MB
Lagarith 1.3.11 YV12 NON-SMP 38 Sec 165MB
UNCOMPRESSED RGB32 36 Sec 2324MB
MSU 0.6 Balanced, yv12 4:01 167MB
FFV1 RGB32 VLC 2.07 301MB
FFV1 RGB32 AC 2.05 297MB
FFV1 YV12 VLC 1:12 181MB
FFV1 YV12 AC 1:12 176MB
HUFFY YV12 : 35sec 522MB


Note:

The files from lagarith differ in size based on using SMP or not, just a 200-300bytes, but still worrying

Anyway, Lagarith in yv12 is VERY impressive imo. ITs just a 2 sec slower than huffy and 3times as efficient

This gotta be the worst comparison ever but i thought id share my results

Constant Quality mode 0. Think the commandline's:

Code:
x264.exe -q0
But search for it, or do:
Code:
x264.exe --help

This is very-very good codec, fast and result small file, uses 2 processors too... But very often freeze if "use multithreaded" is checked. I use only YUY2 mode.

Well I see, new version 1.3.11, Good news.

Problem with new codec (and last version) : codec uninstall not working (under programs add/remove)

Sorry my poor english, and thanks of developer : this is very good lossless video codec.

Great codec, did someone did a comparsion table?

I mean, with HuffYUV.

Still lots of people didn't know Lagarith, a direct comparison table can easily let them choose the codec they want. I'm capturing with Lagarith and it works great.

I found that if using Largarith with some filter combination in Vdub, the output will have a lot of vertical and horizontal color lines, up to now I can't exactly reproduce it, seems it happen under certain criteria ...

Will report here if I have any progress.

I recently used Lagarith v1.3.12 to make an intermediate file. The process went through perfectly, but when trying to make the final MPEG2 I get two consecutive error messages:



That happens when loading the plain intermediate AVI file and a simple script with a couple extra filtering steps. Any ideas as to what could be causing this? I'm using AviSynth_160906 and VDubMod v1.5.4.1b2066.

Sometimes many filters and scripts together will conflict, did you try removing the filter one by one, or just replacing Lagarith with Huffyuv to see still crash or not?

Good news, thank you!

Fixed a bug that would cause crashes when downsampling to YV12. - This is occurred me with v1.3.13.

RGBA and Alpha

Hi,

I am currently trying to implement AVI support into a OpenGL game engine. I have successfully got the engine to decompress AVI frames and render them in RGB. For various reasons I really need to get the alpha channel. I cannot seem to get a reliable AVI file, with alpha and Lagarith compression. I tried VirtualDub-1.7.8 and it seems that it does not support alpha channels in its conversions. I tried the Color Depth option for 32 bit RGB (888) (dummy alpha channel) and it made my movie go all semi transparent with vertical black lines. I also tried creating an uncompressed .mov with alpha, and using the movtoavi from http://lags.leetcode.net/Codec_mac.html and the avi result was black and white gibberish.

Does anyone know a reliable way of creating Lagarith compressed AVI's with the alpha channel?

Cheers in advance,

Lee
