I'm enoding with Gordian Knot 0.35 + xvid 1.0.3. How can I encode in YV12 with this codec. Also Have intalled DivX 5.2.1 codec.

Thanks

XviD / DivX store their data in YV12. When you feed RGB/YUY2/whatever to them it will be converted and stored in YV12.

What exactly do you want to know? If you want a YV12-only chain for your encodes then read the following:

As communist said:

The information you see is the way your XviD file is displayed, not the colorspace it used to store the data. You can't change this.

Several media players (e.g. BSPlyer) and filters (e.g. FFDShow) disable the YV12 output by default, leading to a YUY2 display. Maybe that's what your software does.
What software gives you this information?
