User:Fizick/Internal filters
From Avisynth wiki
In AviSynth v2.5 a fourth color format is available besides RGB24, RGB32 and YUY2: YV12. See YV12 FAQ for more information. This color format is special, since video is stored as YV12 in many codecs (including MPEG4 and MPEG2 on DVDs). In AviSynth v2.6 several other planar color formats are available: YV24 (YUV 4:4:4), YV16 (YUV 4:2:2), YV411 (YUV: 4:1:1) and Y8 (greyscale). The available (internal) filters are listed here and divided into categories. A short description is added, including the supported color formats (and samples types) for the audio filters).
An alphabetical listing of the filters can be found here Category:Internal_filters.

Interlace filters
These filters are for treating interlaced video. Currently (v2.5x and older versions), AviSynth has no interlaced flag which can be used for interlaced video. There is a field-based flag, but contrary to what you might expect, this flag is not related to interlaced video. In fact, all video (progressive or interlaced) is framebased, unless you use AviSynth filters to change that. There are two filters who turn framebased video into fieldbased video: SeparateFields and AssumeFieldBased. More information about field-based video can be found here (...).
| Filter | Description | Color format |
|---|---|---|
| AssumeFrameBased / AssumeFieldBased | Forces frame-based or field-based material. | RGB24, RGB32, YUY2, Y8, YV411, YV12, YV16, YV24 |

Audio filters
Prior to v2.5 the audio samples are converted to 16 bits when using one of these audio filters. Starting from v2.5 the audio samples will be automatically converted if any filters requires a special type of sample. This means that most filters will accept several types of input, but if a filter doesn't support the type of sample it is given, it will automatically convert the samples to something it supports. The internal formats supported in each filter is listed in the colorspace column. A specific sample type can be forced by using the ConvertAudio functions.
If the sample type is float, when AviSynth has to output the data, it will be converted to 16 bit, since float cannot be passed as valid AVI data.
