Video = Video.ConvertToYV12()
Video = Video.AddBorders(0,94,0,94)

SOLUTION:

Video = AVISource("D:\Filmovi\DTS x264-SilverTorrentHD\aa.avi")

Video = Video.ConvertToYV12()
Video = Video.AddBorders(0,94,0,94)
Video = Video.Spline16Resize(720,576)

return Video

[Cornucopia]

"YV12" is a specific ordering of the generic YUV (or more accurately, Y'CbCr) 4:2:0 8bit color space. As you can see from the MediaInfo readout, that AVC file is YUV 4:2:0 8bit.

Your problem is that you always assign the result to a clip variable named "Video", but you never let the content of this variable return out of the script. If you don't explicitly return anything, then AviSynth returns the implicit clip variable "last", which contains nothing in your case.

So, either add

return Video

to your script as the very last line, or substitute "Video" by "last" or nothing (no assignments, only statement-like function calls).

AVISource("D:\Filmovi\DTS x264-SilverTorrentHD\aa.avi")
ConvertToYV12()
AddBorders(0,94,0,94)
Spline16Resize(720,576)
