Why RGB32 although divx3 ?!

[Awatef]

I have a DivX 3.11 AVI file.

Loaded that way in avs 2.51:

avisource("test.avi")

VirtualDub shows decompressor: uncompressed RGB32
Why is that?!
Isn't DivX3 supposed to be YV12?

What should I do so I can process in YV12?

Bug/missing feature in the codec.

You can use ffvfw to decompress DivX 3 as YV12, or if you really want it - DirectShowSource.

ok, thanks!

Used:

DirectShowSource("test.avi", fps=29.97)

And now it shows a YV12 FourCC and DivX5 as decompressor.

Thank you very much!

@sh0dan:

I have noticed this too. When using avisource with Divx 3 content, the output is RGB32. I use ffvfw and ffdshow. Both are forced to always use YV12. DirectShowSource does not exhibit this strange behavior, but it is... not good when seeking, etc.

Something to look into?
