Unable to load UYVY

[leoenc]

I'm trying to load an AVI with AVIsynth.
The AVI was captured with Blackmagic and is reported by Vdub as YUV 4:2:2 (FourCC UYVY).
When using this script:

AVIsource("c:\test.avi")
info()

But AVIsynth reports it as RGB32! So I was trying this:

AVIsource("c:\test.avi", fourCC="UYVY", pixel_type="YUY2")

But it didn't help. I also tried with different FourCC's, using DirectShowSource and OpenDML, either it doesn't open or colors are all green and pink.

Any ideas?
I really want to avoid converting the colorspace.

RawSource()

RawSource()

Tried that but picture is scrolling from top to bottom:

RawSource("c:\test.avi",pixel_type="UYVY")

also tried all other pixel types, they produce wrong colors.

Do you have the blackmagic codecs installed?

You have to explicitly specify the width and height if you want useful results from rawsource. You'll probably also need offset since it's in an avi. If it's muxed with audio, it probably won't work at all though.

Also transcodeing (Fast Recompress) with a recent VirtualDub, should repack the bytes from UYVY into normal YUY2 .AVI (Could also Huffyuv or other lossless codec compress it)

Yes I have the Blackmagic codecs installed.
Also tried with width & height, but it does have audio so I guess I will need to drop this and convert the colorspace.

Thanks anyway everyone
