Converting VC-1 to lossless AVI?

[Janzki]

I just bought a Blu-ray reader for my computer and succesfully ripped a movie. I demuxed the main feature to a .vc1 file with TSMuxer. Now I need to convert this to lossless AVI for editing in Vegas.

Is the GraphEdit route I read about the only way to go, or is there a better route? If not, what DirectShow filter should I use to maximise quality? Thanks.

Well, I think all proper VC-1 Decoders should produce identical output for the same unmodified input file.
So all you need is some working VC-1 Decoder Filter, most probably Microsoft's WMV9 Decoder.
Then you can use DirectShowSource() to frameserve it to VirtualDub via Avisynth and finally save it as AVI.

If you want lossless compression, you could use HuffYUV, ffHuffYUV, FFv1 or Lagarith...

I see, thanks. :)

Also, VC12AVI will let you mux the VC-1 into an AVI. From there, you can use VirtualDub or similar with ffdshow's HuffYUV or other codec :)
Though the method LoRd_MuldeR posted is probably preferred.
