Will DIB input (VirtualDub frameserver) be supported?

My Usage:
Recording from DVB-S opened in Virtualdub-mpeg from http://fcchandler.home.comcast.net/index.html.
Reason to still stick with virtualdub: MOST robust mpeg2 decoder when it comes to those unpreventable stream errors in the recording, all others show visible errors. Second reason: better filters for me.

Currently running aviproxy + an HUGE avisynth script containing:

AviSource("framserver.avi")
ConvertToYV12()

It would save me the avs script if x264 were able to read that directly, Virtualdub can read that windows-typical uncompressed input, so the source is out there.

This obscure way of x264 encoding doesn't improve the quality/compression very much over the last vfw build, but it is WAY faster even with higher moiton search settings.

Try configuring vdub to output YV12 (4:2:0 planar YCbCr) in the "Video > Color depth > Output format to compressor/display" and see what that gives.

x264 simply means (by DIB whatever) that the input format isn't the "expected uncompressed YV12 format".

In theory, this "should" work :)
