Output Format

[zsuppguy]

Hello !

i've 2 AVI videos with 98mb each. I finally setup a avisynth script merging both of them.
I would like to know which would be a good format to save the output video so i can have fidelity from the original (which is not so good) but i don't end with a 16gb output like my previous attempt.
preferred format is avi for the output.

I'm no pro but I'll take a stab at it. Try using Virtualdub. Open the the first clip. then use "append segment" to open the 2nd clip. Then file > save as, and choose "direct stream copy".

I tried and the estimated size was 9GB ...

Are you sure virtualdub was not in "full processing mode" on the "save as" screen?

set video=>direct stream copy, instead of full processing mode, and audio=>direct stream copy, then save as avi

Don't use an avs script, because it will decompress frames and direct stream copy will result in uncompressed video. Open the video directly and use file=>append avi segment
