Virtual Dubb giving me 4 GB output from 40 meg file

[illpeeonu]

Hi All,

You have all always help me greately. One quick question.

I'm using Virtual Dubb to crop a video. I am using the Null Transformation Option, then just simply creating an AVI.

Am I missing a step?

For some reason the file size is always 2gig +..

Please help.

Thanks Guys

Am I missing a step?

Yes, choose a codec (XviD, maybe?), set it up, and then save. You're saving uncompressed.

Thanks, when I install the Codec, will it automatically show up under Virtual Dub.l

Thanks in advance.

Yes, it should, in the list found in Video->Compression.

open your video file with GSpot
Note the bitrate for the video:
Open the file in VirtualDub
Choose Video Full Processing Mode (default)
Choose Video Compression
Select Xvid (FOURCC = xvid)
Click on Configure
Put the bitrate you got from GSpot into the Target Bitrate box (You may have to click on Target Quantizer first to see Target Bitrate option)
Click OK, and OK again
Save File as ...
