YUY2, RGB24, RGB32..... Huh?

[mh2360]

I've been experimenting with Divx to DVD conversion using Avisynth. Some guides I've read recommend using ConvertToRGB24() for Tmpgenc, others use ConvertToYUY2() for CCE, what exactly does ConvertToxxx() do?

Its the way colour is represented. TMPGenc needs it to be in an RGB (Red Green Blue) format, just like you PC monitor. YUY2 is a different format. Different encoders expect it to be in a specific format, so when you use AVISynth at the end you have to make sure its converted for your encoder, otherwise it cant open it, or if you're "lucky" it will run its own colour converter.
