Made a simple AviSynth script to get an existing real HDV video (in Cineform format) and apply TDeint (motion-compensated deinterlace filter) to it. Opened it in AvsPmod and it displayed OK. Exported the result of that processing from AvsPmod via [Tools > Save to AVI]. This called up avs2avi.exe. That executable’s menu of codec formats was as below. NOTE the Cineform codec (following that company’s takeover) now comes under the name GoPro – I missed it the first time I scanned! The test worked fine – deinterlaced video successfully exported to Cineform and subsequently played in Windows Media Player.
- Microsoft Video 1 (an ancient format – as explained at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Video_1)
- Intel IYUV Codec (a very old format http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/showthread.php?178685-What-is-Intel-IYUV)
- Intel IYUV Codec (again)
- Cinepak Codec by Radius
- proDAD Saver for Mercalli (not sure it’s a real codec, maybe a “virtual” one, associated with the proDAD video stabilization plugin for Sony Vegas)
- GoPro-Cineform Codec v7.3.2 (CINEFORM)
- ffdshow Video Codec (several choices, shown when you hit Config button)
- Intel Indeo Video 4.5 (From the “good old days”, I used it back then to compress PAL standard definition video from analog capture)
- Full Frames (Uncompressed)
