DVD2SVCD: No Color Conversion in TMPGEnc Produces Unsupported Files

[ragrost]

For some reason, when I select "no color conversion" in TMPGEnc when using DVD2SVCD, an error pops up at video encoding that says "cannot open AVS file-not supported; yet when I select "convert to RGB" in TMPGEnc, the video encodes fine. How can I keep the original color settings?

*--->EDITED: Phil always had the solution posted,
read the remainders posts here for details.
..... sorry .....was a "blond" moment! <---*



no way out with d2s cos the line
ConvertToRGB24()
using tmpgenc
or
ConvertToYUY2()
using CCE
is used in the end of the script(the program auto put it there).
the encoders need that colors convertions to work!

There is a way !
You must add this line in your script :
function ConvertToYUY2(clip c){ return isYV12(c) ? c : convertToYV12(c) }

This way you will block the "ConvertToYUY2" added by D2S.

great, i don't knew that Phil, thanks (too) !

doubt: in what place in the script i use that function ?
works with both encoders?

Anywhere in the script. And I never saw d2s adding otehr think to ConvertToYUY2 so I'm suprise to see that sometimes it use ConvertToRGB24.

For sure, if in your case D2S add "ConvertToRGB24" the you have to add also a line :
function ConvertToRGB24(clip c){ return isYV12(c) ? c : convertToYV12(c) }

double thanks Phil!

and yes, d2s add "ConvertToRGB24" if you choose tmpgenc 2.5xx to encode ! ...don't know if happen using 3.x versions!

Jorel, I think that you forget this sticky post I did a long time ago :
http://www.kvcd.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6090

D2S never add "ConvertoToRGB24" on my PC, you can trust me
(unless last release works differently than 1.2.1)

[jorel]

no Phil, i don't forgot that cool post!

but the d2s 122 add "ConvertoToRGB24", see the script from output folder:

LoadPlugin("C:\ARQUIV~1\DVD2SV~1\AVISYN~1.5PL\MPEG 2DEC\MPEG2D~1.DLL")
MPEG2Source("D:\D2S-D\DVD2AV~1.D2V")
undot()
asharp(1, 2)
deen()
ConvertToRGB24()

Even with the settings set to "No Color Conversion" ? That sounds like a bug !
For me no conversion means no conversion

Okay, that explains all. For sure by default D2S add this. That is why I posted my sticky messages ! This setting must be changed.

[jorel]

yeah you right
and i need to edit my first post here cos you had the solution posted a long time ago and after long time without use tmpgenc in d2s i forgot that great hints...(but i don't forgot that post, only that details)!

[Dialhot]

no problem

[ragrost]

After spending a few days trying these settings, I still cannot get a proper video encode! I am using the MA script by Phil, and tried to add the "convert to YUY2..." line in the script (although it is already there) and it failed. Then I tried the "ConvertToRGB24..." line and still no video encoding takes place-just a black screen. I have ReadAVS checked in TMPGEnc every time (I'm using the new build, so it stays checked), so I'm all out of ideas.

Post the EXACT script that you try to use here please.
