Hi Wayne, this is what I have been doing already and it works: I tested rendering the save video in Vegas as separate avi test files and all had the same file size and quality. Then used VirtualDub to open and render them, worked like a charm. Since I am dealing with hundreds of videos such as this one, I wanted to cut the VirtualDub step out of the equation but it doesn’t seem to be the case, since Avi Reader is very limited to the file formats it can use.
Thanks for the help!
