"Levels" Histogram - Change video to Planar

[Alwyn]

I'm investigating histograms.

I have a LAGS video in YUV 4:2:2, 8 bit.

When I try to display the "Levels" histogram, I get the message "Levels only available in PLANAR".

AviSource("H:\Video Tapes Albums\Tape 01\Tape 01 MACCHI FIRST BIT.avi")
Histogram("Levels")

I've had a look at http://avisynth.nl/index.php/Histogram but it doesn't provide any info on how to get Planar video. I assume a "convertto" of some kind is required but I can't work out what the command actually is.

Could somebody please advise what I need to put in my AVISynth script to convert my video so I can see the Levels histogram?

Thanks a lot.

ConvertToYV16()

YV16 is planar 8bit 4:2:2
YUY2 is packed 8bit 4:2:2

Thanks PDR! That works a treat. Now I just have to work out what I'm looking at.

Cheers.
