Which Codec UT Video Codec RGB vs RGBA / YUV420 vs YUV422

Mediainfo. Check what says for format under video.

Alternatively, the fact that you're using DGIndex should tell you it's MPEG-2, seeing as it doesn't handle any other codecs and all. Just sayin'.

It can also handle MPEG-1 and technically .VOBs can have MPEG-1... though that's so rare of an occurance that there is no point in arguing, yeah.
But well, mediainfo is still useful to check the video format on any container, so... it'll be helpful sooner or later anyway.

I don't know of any vobs with MPEG-1, mostly because all commercial mastering software ONLY allows for MPEG-2. The spec supports it, but it never gets used. I guess you might have MPEG-1 in an mpg container if you're encoding from the interlaced OP vids on eroge, but as if anyone here does that.

I don't know exactly what I am looking for in this menu.

Btw are there other programs better suited for identifying this information, also one that can identify more containers, like .mov.

I did say "Mediainfo" before "Check what says for format under video." >_>
And I also said "mediainfo is still useful to check the video format on any container," I don't get how you missed that either.
But anyway, like Mister Hatt says, if it loads in DGIndex, then it very likely is MPEG-2 (MPEG-1 is just too rare to be the case at hand, after all).

Wow sorry lol I thought Mediainfo. with the period was an abbreviation for something I was to look for under the video tab in DGindex, didn't relaize it was a name . Thanks for clearing that up though, it will allow me to start on some of my other projects now!

So I do not know how to interpret this information .

Direction would be awesome.

MPEG Video (Version 2) means MPEG-2 Video.
I suggest changing the output to Text or HTML in the options, though, it gives out much more info.

Like this?


While I see MPEG as the format how does that help me decide which codec to use out of the UT Video Codec RGB vs RGBA / YUV420 vs YUV422? I am suppose to be able to find the original format so I know what to export my project as right?

[Toshi.des]

Oh wait, right at where I cut if off, it says Color Space: YUV and underneath that Chroma subsampling 4:2:0 so does that mean i am to use YUV 420? Will move, or all, videos be labeled like this?

Sorry for the double post I can't seem to find an edit button.
