So, I have an AVI that is 8-bit YUV uncompressed. When the fourcc is "yuy2", then PCs can open the file and when the fourcc is "yuvs", then Macs can open the file. (see here (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=746854) and here (http://developer.apple.com/quicktime/icefloe/dispatch020.html) for an explanation.)
My question is...does anyone know how to trick Windows into seeing a yuvs file and treating the file as if it were a yuy2 file? I mean, the only thing changed in the file is the fourcc description! I've fiddled with the values for
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ActiveMovie\devenum\{33D9A760-90C8-11D0-BD43-00A0C911CE86}\
and
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32
because I believe these are the locations where Windows looks to know what dll's to use, etc. But fiddling with these at most gives me a purple and green version of the AVI. Any ideas? TIA
