Hybrid: Exporting as AVI, and retesting histogram in VirtualDub

[Darryl In Canada]

I would like run my video through VirtualDub to analyze it after I had done some work on it in Selur Hybrid in order to see some numbers associated with my changes [using the #Histogram("Levels") and ColorYUV(Analyze=true) analysis].

Which Processing Video codec should I pick in Selur Hybrid? I've tried a few including FFVH and the AVS/VirtualDub script gives me various Avisynth open failure errors, such as:
- Histogram: Levels mode only available in PLANAR
- ColorYUV: Only work with YUV colorspace

How should I go about solving this? Adding the regular HuffYUV to Hybrid (is that even possible)? Adding something to the VirtualDub2 subfolders to make it access the codec(s) using in Hybrid?


Example of my AVS script.
DirectshowSource("test.avi")
#Histogram("Levels")
ColorYUV(Analyze=true)

To open FFVH in avisynth you need a different source filter such as ffms2 or lsmash

FFVideoSource("test.avi")
or
LWLibavVideoSource("test.avi")


Another option should be UTVideo in AVI. If you install the official UTVideo, you can open it with AVISource("test.avi")

Basically, don't use DirectShowSource(). But since you are, try adding ConvertToYV12() or ConvertToYV12(interlaced=true) right after it.
