Need help on amv technical settings

[kamx]

i've been getting my last encodes at 12bit video sample size
wich is suppose to be 24 bit

i'm encoding my RGB uncompressed Amv to Xvid Twopass-1st pass full quality
and the Avs script contains

AviSource("c:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\fgg\Arjuna.avi")
ConvertToYV12()
LanczosResize(512, 384)
msmooth()
mftoon(strength=65)
deen("c2d",4)


i've noticed that without the ConvertToYV12()
it doesn't change it stays at 24 bit video

but obviously you need theYV12 color space in order to operate the filters

would i need to export my amv with huffyuv instead of RGB so that i wouldn't need to add YV12?

-Any help would be much appreciated

XviD is in YV12 color space, so it doesn't matter if you convert it explicitly before the filtering or if it's done implicitly during compression.

The only thing that exporting to HuffYUV instead of uncompressed RGB would help you is saving HD space.
