Hello,

For some reason I didn’t see your post (??). I’ll try MJPEG tomorrow and see how it does.

Thanks 🙂

Hello Jeff,

I understand what you said. I know DivX is not a good format to edit video. I said that vegas works better with less compressed videos because it did so, at least for me, but that is just my case, ie, capture program, codec settings, etc.

I don’t know if I said so but the video glitches also showed up in the vegas video view window, they didn’t appeared after rendering the video.

Hello,

As I stated above, what I did was to CAPTURE (not render) the video with VirtualDub using DivX on the lowest compression setting. Sony vegas does not work well with heavy-compressed videos.

Hope it helps,
Rafa.

Hello,

Maybe you are compressing the video too much for your processor, and it would just take a LOT of time to render. Try rendering it in a lower quality and resolution to check if that is the problem.

BTW I’m not an expert, I’m just guessing. And btw which game are you recording? Just curious haha.

Good Luck,
Rafa.

Hey again.

I think it can use a lot of codecs. Every codec I installed in my computer showed up in the video compression settings window, so I guess most codecs work. Just a guess, though.

So if you know a good codec for my purprose just tell me and I’ll tell you if it works 🙂

Thanks,
Rafa

Hello again,

I have been playing with the DivX encoder and a lower compression seem to solve the problem. The file size is like 30MB/minute which is really nice for the quality.

Anyways, I know there are better codecs for my purporse (editing the gameplay videos), so the answer is still “open”.

Thanks!

Hello, thanks for the quick reply.

I tried Lagarith codec as suggested somewhere in the net (don’t remember where) but files ar WAY too big.
I don’t mind (everything has a limit) big files, I have a lot of space now, but the problem is that I usually record like 3-4 hours of gameplay, and I think that would eat like 500Gb, and that is simply too large.

I’ve been reading some more in the net, and found out that problem with AVI files in vegas (apart from the XviD/DivX problem) are that are usually compressed too much, and vegas don’t like that. I’m not recording my screen, I don’t play on PC. I play in a videogame console, the output (Y/Pb/Pr) splits in two and one output goes to my screen and another one to the USB capture card, if that helps.

BTW I should have said that the video contains some blood and violence scenes. Sorry.
