Using V-Dub to filter out....

[averyisiah]

Ok, I am trying to (using virtual dub) blur an .avi file (700mb, 25fps, 560x352) since the video is a little too sharp giving the dot effect, when I preview the blur filter in V-Dub it looks great, when I go to save the file "save .avi" full compress mode the file becomes some retarded size, like 15Gb. I don't know why it is doing this, is there some way that I can still blur the video (a little bit) and not have this GI-NORMOUS file.
Am I doing sumthing wrong??
Please help!!

Do you intend to convert this file to mpeg or are you keeping it as an AVI? If converting then try frameserving it to your encoder, look in the guides.

If you're keeping it as an avi then select under Video,full processing mode then select under Video>compression and select a video codec for your compression. The default is no compression, hence the large file.

Im trying to extract to .avi then convert to (s)vcd using tmpgenc. I will try to set a compress on V-Dub and see what happens. Thanks.
Please add anything you think I would need to know to do this correctly,
Thank you.

If you are going to be converting with TMPGEnc then do not re-compress the file. Any compression always results in quality loss. You should select no compression and then frameserve to TMPGEnc. What this does is feed the video directly to the encoder without having to create an intermediate file that is either very large (uncompressed) or results in quality loss (compressed). Here's a guide.
