I used the avi to kvcd script ffrom dialhot (version 4), i got all the plugins needed but i get an error in tmpenc: blindpp: work in yv12 colorspace (d:downloads\vcd script.avs, line 2)

What am i doing wrong?

Thanks

Read the thread where the optimal scripts are offered CAREFULLY, there its explained how to avoid that blindpp error.

I'm sorry but it saids nothing about how to prevent this error. I'm actually visited the page "Latest optimal script for AVI to KVCD" and the only message is about the source needing to have both dimensions divisble by 16. Could you help me further?

Put convertoYV12() after you avifile line.

avifile...
convertoYV12()

Better : update your codecs and configure them properly.
Except if you are talking about a Divx3.11 that can't be decode in YV12 by any codec.

PS: WHY did you post in this thead and not the Avi->KVCD one ???

DivX5 decoder does decode DivX3 content to YV12. I'm not sure if it just converts the colorspace automatically though.

If you read me a little on the forum you probably notice how often I say "NEVER use converttoYV12()", right ? I must confess that with Divx3.11 I can't help using it myself .
I have Divx5.11 on my disc and for sure if does not convert the 3.11 Slow Motion to YV12. I'm not sure but I wonder if it's the same with 3.11 Fast motion...

That's odd. I just tested with a single AVISource line containing script and VDubMod shows the result as YV12 and DivX5.1.1 being used as the decoder.

If you did Slow Motion, try the other. I can swear that some Divx3.11 don't have problems were others have. And that is the only diff I can see.

Excuseme Dialhot, but i never saw it.
Then, I use converttoYV12 when necesary.
I have XviD codecs.
How can I configure my codecs and then not to use converttoYV12 anymore?

It's actually a mpeg file. would i still put in the line convertoYV12() ?

All the discussion in void...
Mpeg-1 or Mpeg-2
How you load the file in the script

I forgot. It's a mpeg 1 file (standard vcd settings) and i load the file by using this line directshowsource("D:\Downloads\THX.mpg").killaudio ()
. I did try add the line convertoYV12() but tmpenc saids something about not recognising this command. I also got divx pro 5.1.1 installed and AviSynth 2.5.4.

DO you speak english ? Yes ? Ok so it will be simple : you ask to avisynth to "Convert TO YUY2".
How many "t" do you see in the sentense between quotes ? Put as many in the command you add to your script.

sorry.....for my mistake...!!!!!
Anyway, i tried the extra line converttoyuy2() but it still comes up with that message work in yv12 colourspace. I also deleted the line BlindPP(cpu=4) to see if anything changed (you said u this only in bad cases), it still doesn't work.

Could someone explain in plain, non sarcastic tone on how to encode my mpeg1 source using that avi to kvcd script version 4.

My mistake (but a little bit your also) : I told you "you want to convert in YUY2" but actually, in all this thread what you want is "Convert To YV12".

For sure that is not converttoyuy2 that you need but converttoyv12.

And the solution was given to you in the first post or Prodater at 1:02pm the 03/15/2004 :
I agree with you this answer had a little error (avifile does not exists, that is "avisource") but the hint is crystal clear : put the convert after the loading of the source.

And please, do not answer "but here I don't have an avi, I have a mpeg1"

You do appreciate to have an answer to your problem. WE DO appreciate that the askers think a little by their own to forgive some little imprecision in the answers. We are humans, not robots.

I'm sorry you take all this for "sarcastic tone" but trust me, the way I answered you about couting the "t" will stay in your mind and you never do the error again.


Note: I NEVER REMOVE ANY LINE OF MY SCRIPT !

vdk_au,
after directshowsource().killaudio()
you put
converttoYV12() and after that the Dialhot's script as it is.
BTW, this error you have from avisynth, not from TMPG

Dialhot: If you have some time, can you tell me how can I configure my codecs and then not to use converttoYV12 anymore?

Sorry for the mistake.
It should be

avisource...
convertToYV12()

Do you already know how to pop up the config window for both codecs ?
