Problem with x264 and colorspaces

[max-holz]

I'am understress ;)

I have this AVS file:

and I receive this error from MeGUI:

avis [error]: unsupported input format (YUY2)
could not open input file 'C:\Scambio\Elaborazione Video\Nulla\Nulla.avs'

What could I do for resolve colorspace's problem? I don't understand, I'am sure that the avs output is RGB "a.ConvertToRGB() return a" but this doesn't function.

Ciao

a.ConvertToRGB()
return a
Let's see what happened.

a.ConvertToRGB() convert clip "a" into rgb, and put it in the variable clip "last".
return a return the clip "a", which is still in YUY2.

a simpler way is to just write a.ConvertToRGB(), and everything will go well :p

and more, using YV12 colorspace is also a choice.

Thanks, a silly error :D

Actually x264 only supports yv12, so if you are going to use this, you have to make sure you have a "return a.converttoyv12()" rather than rgb at the end.

On a side note, there're now scripts that are better tuned than QMF, which only works on a per frame basis. And why do you need so much colorspace conversion ?

Finally, I'd advise you to have a look at HybridFuPP.

It's the first time that I test this kind of script. Could you tell me where can I fouund scrpits better than QMF with a littel explanation?
