Alright, encoding newb fag here. The title says what I mainly need help with.
Ok I'm trying to do some encoding obviously. I think I may have found a way to upscale the chroma subsampling of my source video from 4:2:0 to possiblly 4:2:2/4:4:4. I may be wrong or mislead. Either way, I'm making the avisynth script with MeGUI 2028 like usual. My source is a .mkv raw anime file and I use the Directshowsource.dll to load it and everything is fine. Now I try to do the chroma upscaling with "ConvertToYUY2(clip, matrix="rec709")". From what it sounds like, it's suppose to take the source's 4:2:0 and convert it up to 4:2:2/4:4:4(Like I said I could be wrong), code was taken from here. Now I paste the code in and try and save the file. An error comes up and say's that it doesn't recognize 'clip', so I go back and change 'clip' with the file name. That still didn't work, another message came up stating that it wasn't agreeing with the word 'matrix'. I'm obviously doing something wrong or this code doesn't work(which is highly unlikely). Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong.
My second question. If I can't work with the avisynth script like I just describe above. Is there a way that I can configure the x264 profile to make the final video have 4:2:2/4:4:4 chroma subsampling. I have the 8-bit version of x264 if that helps at all.
