ColorMatrix and hints?

[koolcracker]

I have searched, and I read lots of places that using MPEG2Source's info=3 and ColorMatrix's hins=true should go together. That brings me to 2 questions.

1. What exactly does this process do to help? does it speed it up? does it make it mroe accurate? how does it work?

2. It says that colormatrix must come right after mpeg2source, but what if i use something like this?

Video=MPEG2source("vid.d2v", cpu=4, info=3)
Audio=DirectShowSource("aud.ac3")
Audiodub(Video, Audio)
ColorMatrix(hints=true)

Will colormatrix still work? because as far as i know, i will end up with errors if I place the Audio= and Audiodub anywhere else in the script.

Thank you to anyone who can provide any answers for me.

Using hints will apply ColorMatrix only if it is needed.

Video=MPEG2source("vid.d2v", cpu=4, info=3)
Audio=DirectShowSource("aud.ac3")
Audiodub(Video, Audio)
ColorMatrix(hints=true)

Probably not (ok, there is a way to circumvent it). Try:

Video=MPEG2source("vid.d2v", cpu=4, info=3).ColorMatrix(hints=true)
Audio=DirectShowSource("aud.ac3")
Audiodub(Video, Audio)
