From AVI (Huffyuv) to VideReDo

[kodec]

Hi, is there any software to convert an AVI file (Huffyuv encoded video inside) to a VideoRedo supported container and to preserve the lossless video content inside the original AVI file?

Is VideoRedo not able to open AVIs? If not, open the AVI with MKVMergeGUI and remux it as an MKV. I'm pretty sure VideoRedo will open MKVs.
I've never used VideoRedo but given the container is AVI, maybe for simple editing it might be easier to use VirtualDub instead. You can edit and save without re-encoding if you select Direct Steam Copy as the video compression method.

There's more than one flavour of Huffyuv and I haven't thought about it for quite a while, but the original/official version of huffyuv doesn't support YV12 video (only YUY2), so if that's what it is, I'd imagine you'd need a flavour which does in order to decode it. The version of Huffyuv included with ffdshow will both encode and decode Huffyuv YV12 video. I just thought I'd mention it in case decoding the video turns out to be an issue.

Since VideoRedo is specifically for MPEG video, the answer to your question is 'no'. You can convert your lossless AVI to MPEG-2 video, yes, but the result won't be lossless as you seem to require. Maybe if you mentioned what you want VideoRedo to do, an alternative could be suggested.

Thanks to both, didn't know that the excellent MKVMergeGUI can simply do such conversions too, nice software.
As for the lossless, here's the deal: I have captured a long (3hrs) old family VHS PAL to Huffyuv AVI via VirtualDub in order to make a DVD. Ran it afterwards through NeatVideo and iZotope to filter lossless both video and audio. Now that that part is finished thinking to run it through VideoReDo for possbile errors because I know how fine job it does with TV recordings. Didn't know it wouldn't work on lossless material. Guess I can always prepair the final MPEG stream for DVD creation with TMPGEnc and then run it through VideoRedo, unless there's an alternative manono spoke about.
