VC-1 and H.264 to Dirac (VC-2)

[ghelyar]

I'm interested in playing around with Dirac. I have some high definition content in VC-1 and some in H.264 (to simulate the current popular content)

I have seen that schro_encode takes a raw YUV input but how can I get that from the existing VC-1 and H.264 streams? (both are .ts if that helps).

Can this be done by piping the output of one program into another or will I need to store the raw YUV file, which I am guessing will be massive for high definition content?

There seem to also be many YUV formats. I don't know much about them but I assume that schro_encode only accepts one of them. Which would that be?

Schro likely accepts raw YV12, just like everything else.

And yes, you can probably pipe--the same as with x264.
