convert from huffy rgb24 --> huffy yuy2 possible???

[DaveQB]

cant find anything on this.

i have yet to learn AVIsynth (want to, just havent had time once i found the site)

i have a file generated from ulead cool 3D and it only allows huffy rgb24 files, and i have huffy yuy2 files.

i an unable to append these files til they are both of the exact same data type.

even google so far comes up short.

anyone ???

I guess you could use an Avisynth script:

AVISource("MyMovie.avi")
ConvertToYUY2()

Then open that script in VirtualDub and recompress to Huffyuv using "fast recompress" option.

[DaveQB]

oh ok,

*must research avisynth to know what the heck he's talking bout :D*

[fccHandler]

I just thought of something else. IIRC, Huffyuv has an option to convert RGB to YUY2 when compressing, so you probably don't need Avisynth at all. Check Huffyuv's configuration dialog.

[DaveQB]

yeah saw that, and did indeed select that option, but didnt work :(

i too thought i was on to something then too.

must not be exact enough for VD to consider it RGB24

NB have since re-captured the footage in RGB24 and then appended the Ulead cool3D file to it. Looks cool.
i guess no more YUY2 capturing for me from now on....
(in case i decide i want to add effects to it)

thanx mate

All software that came with your card should be used for coffee coasters .......... i think it is time you started to learn AviSynth because this is an easy fix.

There is alot of help here and much to learn.
