Hey Guys,
I recently built a new rig and in the process of getting everything reinstalled, I'm trying to update/improve my process. I'm running into confusion about colorspaces, so let me detail what I'm doing:
1. I have the following AVS script I put together via information from l33tmeatwad's site:
FFVideoSource("source.mkv")
animeupscale(widescreen=true,strength=2,fullhd=true,degrain=0)
ConvertToRGB(Matrix="Rec709")
If I don't convert to RGB, I get a warning saying "couldn't locate decompressor for YV12" and only direct steam copy is available. So, I convert to RGB and go to the next step:
2. I load that script into VirtualDubMod. Now, the absolute everything guide suggests I use UtVideo for my codec (I previously used lagarith), specifically stating to use the "i420" one because that one encodes to YV12 colorspace, but is that really the correct thing to do? There is a second UtVideo codec that just says "iyuv", should I be using that one for RGB sources? And finally, is it important to set Video to Fast Recompress? I don't know what effect that setting is supposed to have on the output.
Thanks a bunch
