View Full Version : YV12 VfW codec, or see if my problem can be solved :-)

I have an AviSynth script that's being loaded into VirtualDubMod. I'm trying to decode a DVD video file with the minimum of fuss, and ideally I'd like to output into YV12, it being the source colour-type. I have to convert to YUY2, because that's the best colour-type I can work with at this moment.


LoadPlugin("DGDecode.dll")
video=Mpeg2Source("C:\my_disc\video_ts\vts_01_1.d2v")
audio=DirectShowSource("C:\my_disc\video_ts\vts_01_1.ac3","video=false")
AudioDub(video,audio)
DelayAudio(0)
ConvertToYUY2() # Needed, because VirtualDubMod can't work in YV12


My question is, does anybody know of a YV12 VfW decompressor, or of a file that can use YV12 in VirtualDubMod. I use VirtualDubMod v1.5.10.1 build 2439.

I've read the FAQ on VirtualDubMod, and it says that it can work in YV12, but I can't load it with AviSynth.

I'm using AviSynth because I want to be able to decode the audio with AC3Filter, it being the best AC3 decoder out there.

Any suggestions?

install XviD, DivX or the Helix YV12 codec: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=56972
