is there an free "anyfile to uncompressed/lossless" solution?

[squadjot]

Hi , again i need ur help!

i'd like to be able to convert any video file int to i.e HUFFYUV or any other lossless or uncompressed format.

I'd be happy to use FFMPEG or mEncoder.. or anything like it..

Does anyone know the steps how to?

THanx

Why do you want to do this? Maybe you don't understand, but converting to lossless DOES NOT IN ANY WAY restore lost data from the previous compression. If you have an editor that requires the use of lossless AVI, I could understand that as being your reason. I just want to be sure that you don't have an unrealistic expectation of what such a conversion can do.

VirtualDubMod can convert a lot of formats to lossless AVI and it's free. Note that lossless video formats take up a LOT of disk space. I can't promise you that VDM can convert any file, but it can convert a lot of them.

AviDemux too.

Any? Maybe not. However...

Can use:
- FFmpeg
- Avisynth > FFmpeg,
- VirtualDubMod
- Avisynth > VirtualDubMod,
- VirtualDub
- VirtualDub + input plugins
- Avisynth > VirtualDub,
- Avidemux
- Avisynth > Avidemux.

And in Avisynth scripts can use DirectShowSource, AVISource, FFmpegSource, QTSource, DGAVCDec, DGMPGDec, ...

+ Of course it's not all...
