Input format is not YV12 ColorSpace??

[fedevaps]

I get this error when I try to encode a .avi file with QuEnc:

Could not use C:\movie.avs as Input!
Input format is not YV12 ColorSpace

Any ideas?

[scharfis_brain]

this encoder only accepts the YV12 colorspace.
so use either converttoyv12() for progressive stuff
or converttoyv12(interlaced=true) for interlaced stuff

[fedevaps]

I can't seem to find a program called :

converttoyv12() or converttoyv12(interlaced=true)

Do I need to install Linux to use these programs?

[scharfis_brain]

you need to insert this command (function) at the end (as last line) of the file (script) movie.avs

[fedevaps]

Ohh. Something like:

LoadPlugin("C:\Programmer\GordianKnot\VirtualDubMod\plugins\textsub.vdf")
avisource("test.avi")
BicubicResize(720,272)
AddBorders(0,104,0,104)
TextSub("test.srt")
ResampleAudio(44100)
converttoyv12()

I have installed AviSynth 2.0 since 2.5 could not use some plugin (I was told to downgrade AviSynth) will this have any effect?

[scharfis_brain]

AVS 2.0 will NOT support YV12.
starting from AVS 2.5 YV12 is supported.

Do you want to create a DVD? then you must use 48kHz Audio. 441 kHz is not supported on DVD.

[fedevaps]

But if I use AviSynth 2.5 I get this error:

Avisynth open failure:
Plugin C:\Programmer\GordianKnot\VirtualDubMod\plugins\textsub.vdf is not an AviSynth 2.5 plugin.

For some reason I can only use the textsub.vdg plugin with Avisynth 2.0.

But maybe I can just:
1) delete the subtitles entries in my .avs file
2) do the conversion with AviSynth 2.5
3) downgrade Avisynth to 2.0
4) Enter subtitles lines
5) Encode with QuEnc

....but it seems at bit complicated

[scharfis_brain]

*.vdf are VDub Plugins.
you need to load them using
loadvirtualdubplugin or so.
please read the AVISynth documentation for further explantation. it describes it pretty well.
Reading documentation is a task I won't and don't want to do for you.
ou have to learn the things by yourself.

1) please post AviSynth in the appropriate forum.

2) Install vsfilter (non-unicode build is for W98):
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=82303&package_id=84359


LoadPlugin("C:\Programmer\GordianKnot\VirtualDubMod\plugins\vsfilter.dll")
avisource("test.avi")
BicubicResize(720,272)
AddBorders(0,104,0,104)
TextSub("test.srt")
ResampleAudio(44100)
converttoyv12()


Make sure to read the documentation on your hdd:
...\avisynth25\docs\english\externalfilters\vsfilter.htm

Read the AviSynth Q&A how to load v2.0 plugins in AviSynth v2.5, when you need that the next time.

[fedevaps]

Ok now nothing works.

I have just used your changes (entered them in a file called movie.avs, and copied vsfilter.dll to the below dir):

LoadPlugin("C:\Programmer\GordianKnot\VirtualDubMod\plugins\vsfilter.dll")
avisource("test.avi")
BicubicResize(720,272)
AddBorders(0,104,0,104)
TextSub("test.srt")
ResampleAudio(44100)
converttoyv12()

when I open the .avs file QuEnc I get no errors but nothing happens. I mean the file is shown in "Source AVS file" but nothing is shown in "Destination File". If I choose my own destination file and choose Encode nothing happens.

Did your above code snippet demand that it was AviSynth 2.0 or 2.5 that was installed?

Since you typed "converttoyv12()" in the last line I guess it should be 2.5 and that is also what I currently have installed.

Seems that there is a compatability problem with subtitles and the AviSynth version, I am no the only one having this problem:

Sorry, i also can't get it to work. Strange. I'm quite sure it worked once with v2.5.

Is there someone who can get it working? (srt/sub, vsfilter v2.37; tried v2.55 and latest CVS)

It works also for me. I used a wrong script. (Actually i used wrong subs, which would show up after the movie was finished :))

@fedevaps,

1) What happens if you open that script in VirtualDub?

2) If you don't see any subs, can you attach your test.srt in this thread?

Since you typed "converttoyv12()" in the last line I guess it should be 2.5 and that is also what I currently have installed.
Yes, indeed.

[fedevaps]

I uninstalled AviSynth and Gordian Knot, and reinstalled Gordian Knot and now it works!
