AVISynth v2.5beta + YV12 - what am I missing?

[JamesTKirby]

Hello all,

I've decided to try the AVISynth v2.5 (beta) to speed up my DivX/XviD encodings by using YV12 colourspace.

However, I have a problem, VirtualDub/VirtualDubMod/Nandub (latest versions) all give the same error always, if I try to stay in YV12-colourspace.

VirtualDub Error:
--> "Couldn't locate decompressor for format 'YV12' (unknown)" <--

I have selected "Fast recompress" but it seems I'm missing a file or something...

Here's one of my test scripts, which produce this error:
---------------
LoadPlugin("c:\rip\utils\avisynth\plugins\MPEG2Dec3.dll") #<-- YV12 supporting version
MPEGSource("c:\rip\disc\vts_02_1.vob")
Crop(14,12,-20,-14)
BicubicResize(640,352)
Info()
---------------

Note that the frameserving "mechanics" is working fine (as the error hints ;)...
because if I add a ConvertToRGB24() after the MPEGSource() it works fine, but no YV12 anymore of course :(

I've also tried Nic's new MPEGDecoder.dll which supports YV12, but the problem persists.

Also, I've tried to play with MPEG2Source() instead of MPEGSource() but can't get it to work.

I must be missing something, but what is it ?
I'm sure the solution is obvious :)

Could some kind soul provide me with a sample .avs script, as this is my first time playing with AVISynth.

Thanks for any help,

Did you install DivX5 or one of the recent Xvid builds of Koepi?

[JamesTKirby]

Yep Wilbert, I have this installed:

XviD-04102002-1.exe

it says:
08:01:32, Oct 4 2002
Core Version 2.1

Guess this is what I want ?

You need a newer one (from december or newer).

[JamesTKirby]

Well, that did it !

Thanks Wilbert :) I'm processing in YV12 mode now!

First time around, I just got the October binary from Koepi's site because it was under the text (latest binary). I should have browsed a bit further :)

Thanks again,

JTK
