4:4:4

So it is here, finally

How can i encode/decode the content ?

My input is
Quote:
Format : RGB
Codec ID : RGB
Codec ID/Info : Uncompressed RGB32
Duration : 7s 958ms
Bit rate : 1 593 Mbps
Width : 1 920 pixels
Height : 1 080 pixels
Display aspect ratio : 16/9
Frame rate : 24.000 fps
Resolution : 32 bits
Bits/(Pixel*Frame) : 32.001
AVS ( installed 2.6.0 alpha 3 + the updated dll from 19.07.2011 )

Old script :

Quote:
AVIsource("D:\x264\movie.avi")
Crop(0, height%2, -width%2, 0)
ConvertToYV12()
Here i should change YV12 to YV24 no ?

As for x264 ( latest 8 bit version ) just add --profile high10 ?

thnx.

minimum requirement
Code:
x264 --demuxer lavf --output-csp i444 -o output.h264 input.avi
4:4:4 accepts odd resolution. and swscale convert RGB32 to i444 automatically.

Recommended players are LATEST VLC, MPlayer or MPlayer2.

This is not related 4:4:4 feature.

Yes, it was my mistake, left --pass 2 instead of --pass 1.

Yes, used mkvtoolnix and it works.

mp4box works also with the output 4:2:0 but not 4:4:4

LE : latest version of mp4box seems to work fine.

Out of curiosity, what's your 4:4:4 source? Video game captures?

Are you sure your Avisynth script output is YV24? From that warning, for some reason it has been recognized as YV12.

All you have actually achieved is to have the conversion from YV12 to YV24 now done inside Avisynth instead of inside x264.

But it seems to me that unless your source really is 4:4:4 (or RGB), there is little to be gained from converting the output to YV24.

What is your source and complete script?

the source is YV12, my script is simple:
Quote:
FFVideoSource("F:\Program\eac3to v3.24\Star Wars The Clone Wars\episode 1\video.mkv", fpsnum=24000, fpsden=1001)
Spline36Resize(1920,1080) # Spline36 (Neutral)
ConvertToYV24
or i need more thing on script for change correctly YV12 to YV24 ?
in megui custom command line i use --output-csp i444 and for color matrix - bt709

The script correctly converts YV12 to YV24, but the question is, what is the point?

Conversion to YV24 cannot magically provide any greater real chroma resolution than you have in the source, so why not leave it as YV12?

you can use this script to convert yv12 source to yv24,the quality is much better than players chroma upscaling (even better than madVR)

Does it improve much and is it worth?

Converting YV12 to YV24 means you have to reencode the video (if you're going to do it anyway then this is not a problem, but YUV 4:4:4 encoding takes more time than YUV 4:2:0). You can't use hardware-accelerated decoding to decode YUV 4:4:4 H.264 (EDIT: I've just realized he's using 10-bit so this statement is irrelevant), while YUV 4:4:4 decoding in software mode needs more CPU processing power (about 40%, IIRC) comparing to YUV 4:2:0 content. MadVR has good enough chroma upsamplers, for example: Jinc. For chroma upsampling, there should not much difference between Jinc and NNEDI3, and they're both overkill. Remember that chroma doesn't have much detail to begin with.
