Oh, and one more thing you guys might be able to help me with. I’m having trouble with the audio not being synchronized when playing back the rendered file. When I’m in Vegas, my audio is perfectly lined up. When I render, I chose to sync audio every 0.250 seconds (which is the default). Should I perhaps sync to every frame or what?
– Thanks

It’s a shame, really. Ever since nVidia and ATi switched over to the new unified architecture, they’ve been able to execute any code that a CPU can (instead of just video specific code). There’s been a little talk about CUDA (nVidia’s GPU rendering drivers) but nothing has ever come of it. And now since the v177.xx nVidia drivers PhysX (physics processing, if you don’t know) has been integrated into the drivers so any game that uses PhysX can use the GPU. But once again there’s been little actual advantage it it.
We should be able to open up Vegas, or programs like 3DSMax, Photoshop, and just tick a radio box and boom we can render using the GPU and probably do it much, much faster. But alas, they’d rather reel in the money from graphic card sales in general then get up to speed on GPU rendering 🙁

March 11, 2008 at 2:12 am in reply to: Saving with MP3 – all i see are low quality options?Well I’m using mainly the DivX 6.7 codec for my AVIs, but most other AVI codecs that I select from the drop-down list that give “MPEG Layer-3” as an option, only allow up to 56kBit/s as an choice.
And I’m planning to eventually upload the video to the web, and no use wasting upload time trying to send a file with uncompressed WAV audio. Also just in general, I think MP3 is the best audio for any “sub-HD” video…
Regardless, it doesn’t matter what I’m doing with the video after encoding, I’d just like to know why I can’t do MP3 in any kind of substantial quality…

And why don’t I use ‘regular’ audio? You mean Uncompressed WAV (PCM)? Well, I think it’s kind of obvious, being “uncompressed” and all… I could save the audio separate sure, but that requires a lot more time and effort. Because then I’d need to use a program to splice the two together.

March 10, 2008 at 11:53 pm in reply to: Saving with MP3 – all i see are low quality options?I’m using Video for Windows (AVI). It limits me to those options no matter which AVI codec I choose.
Also I just installed the Radium MP3 1.263 codec as well, and it shows up in the list of available audio formats, but gives me the same error as LAME MP3.
Speaking of which, this is getting pretty lame. The build in MP3 options are limited, and both external codec’s I installed won’t work in Vegas.

March 10, 2008 at 11:22 pm in reply to: Saving with MP3 – all i see are low quality options?Ok, I’ve been looking for alternative MP3 codecs I can use for the time being. I installed Lame ACM 3.97 codec, which should work in any app that supports those kinds of codecs.
Well it doesn’t even show up in Adobe Premiere Pro (not surprising), and in Sony Vegas, I get an error when saving a video when I choose any of the LAME MP3 options:
“An error occurred while creating the media file
An error occurred while opening a codec.”
What can I do? Are the any other free MP3 codecs I can use to encode through PPro or Vegas? I’m getting pretty frustrated here…
– Thanks.
