Avisynth virtual file system - How to add a raw YUY2 file?

[hanfrunz]

The original thread (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=133313) is over two years old so i think i better start a new one.

I'd like to add a new filetype using AVFS. A raw YUY2 video file. Has anybody done some research and can point me to source files to look at?

@joe48 are you still here in the forums? Can you add a rawfile option?

My plan is to have a virtual avid mxf file someday using mxflib, but a raw file would be the first step, i can use writeavidmxf.exe (from the ingex-project) to generate it, if i had a raw file.

regards,

Does checking the forums ever few months count as still around? You probably could have gotten my attention quicker with a PM, assuming the forum sends out a notification e-mail.

Any format that supports raw uncompressed video and/or audio should be a relatively easy addition to AVFS. Pointers to documentation for the two formats you mention would be the first step. Coding help would get it done faster, especially if I am not setup to test things (no Avid). At a minimum I could do some plumbing work to get things started.

Hi joe48,

i checked the source of avfs and tried to understand the whole thing, but i would need a lot more time than i have to implement a raw-file support. If you could find the time to do it i would be more than happy :)

My personal wishes:
YUY2 support and a switch to set the byteorder YUYV or UYVY etc. I would suggest .raw or maybe .yuy as file extension.

Thanks again for AVFS it's a very very very good tool!
