What will convert YouTube mpeg-4 to HuffYuv?

[brassplyer]

The title pretty much says it. What converter will convert an HD download from YouTube to HuffYuv?

Or at least to something VirtualDub will accept?

I should say, what converter *other* than Super.

Thanks.

vdub will load mp4's downloaded from youtube with the ffinputdriver or directshow input driver plugins

or you can load it with an avs script

So it will - thanks!

I used this.

SetMemoryMax(768)
SetMTMode(3, 4)
FFMpegSource2("sourcefile.mp4", atrack=-1)

So what am I observing here - what's happening to allow it to accept the file?

Also, how do I tell it the video is progressive?

It's "allowed" because avisynth frameserves uncompressed audio & video . It's decoded by ffms2.dll, and uncompressed frames are served to vdub

You can tell it's progressive by looking at the content . You would separate the fields, and look if there was motion each consecutive field, which is one definition for interlaced. But if both fields are from the same moment in time, it's progressive. 29.97i (or 59.94i, same thing different naming convention) is really 59.94 fields per second. Interlaced content means those 59.94 fields represent different moments in time. 29.97p would only have half those moments in time represented, but as full sized frames . You can also have other patterns like pulldown and other cadences but I'm not talking about those for simplicity sake

Also , youtube is always progressive (if you upload interlaced material, youtube will usually deinterlace it poorly)

Nevermind, I had a deinterlace filter in place in the occasion of Virtualdub that I forgot about. Removed it and now it's behaving correctly.
