Editing and playbacks are fine, but when i start redering it. The file compresses by 10folds which is a good thing. When i ran the file once it completed the quality was unbearable!! From a crystal clear resolution to a choppy blured picture.
I also tried movie maker and it doeses the same thing. Is there a specific setting that you do in vegas to keep the quality? I'd like the files size to be small but not lose 90% of the quality.
Settings i've tried
NTSC DV
Custom set to best
Also tried changing to Xvid codecs and divx6.1

are you you resizing? if you want small size use small video size/resolution.
deinterlacing? -
I changed the resolution to 640x480 from 102x768. I know for a fact that this will decrease the qaulity of the video but i didn't think it was that much!
I have no idea what deinterlacing means, sorry heh -
Give us an idea what your goals are and the following
- source file format(s)
- project settings
- goal for the output file (DVD, email, VCD, etc.)Recommends: Kiva.org - Loans that change lives.

Format AVI
project settings, i've done a lot. I've compressed it with VirtualDub using Xvid.
Now i like to add transition for the clips i've made using vegas.
Output, hopefully under 50meg so i could stream on the internet or let others download it. AVI? -
So it was Xvid and you set Vegas project for NTSC 640x480 square pixel uncompressed YUV.
The only built in export format that could compress that tight is WMV.
You could export or fileserve uncompressed to an external encoder of your choice.Recommends: Kiva.org - Loans that change lives.

I would think so. You are doing alot of uncompression and recompression.

The problem is you are using a highly compressed source intended only for display as it is. You need to go back to the original transfer and restart.

I thought the file was uncompressed? since i used fraps to record the video. The original gamplay clip was crsystal clear. Was recoreded in 1024x768 Resolution.
What do yo suggest i do first? I have the listed programs on my computer
-Windows movie maker
-vegas 6
-virtual dub
If it isn't too much trouble. I would like to know the settings.
What is an easy way to add transition? I know i'll risk quality but i would like to keep it minimal. Thanks -

gunslinger, there is no audio ^^ I like to get this compression done before i do any audio editing which should be a pinch.
eddv, Yea i did, i tried out different settings. Tried importing the uncompressed and uncompressed file to vegas. Both with an exeptionally good quality. After i added some transition and render, BAM can't bare to watch it.
The problem is it doens't matter if its a compressed/uncompressed file, the results are the same for some reason. The problem lies in the rendering. Tried out a lot of custom settings, still no luck.
Maybe the bitrate that it was rendering at? Don't know how to change it though sigh.

Been doing this from the start. Lol this is getting frustrating. -
The problem lies in the settings you are using. Without audio you can go as low as 426kbps and still fit in 50MB (just).
If you resize down to 640 x 480 and output as uncompressed avi, how does it look ? Just output a few minutes, because it will be a big file. If it looks OK then it is not the transitions and we can move on from there.Read my blog here.

^the output was not as good as the original but that is expected. Its a lot better then the ones with transitions though.

Don't know if this will help, but anyway.
1. Most of the damage is done during the resize. You can reclaim some detail using the unsharp mask, but you won't make the text readable.
2. When you render out, don't use the Best quality setting, use Good instead. Best is designed for slides shows and titles built with stills, and adds a filter to reduce interlace flicker. Makes the whole thing softer.
I did a couple of tests using your large still and Divx6.1 at 426kbps. It's only a few seconds, and has no motion. It uses a the Sony Unsharp Mask to bring back some of the clarity, and was rendered with the Good quality setting, progressive.

Since resizing was the issure, i'm not going to resize it and see how it goes. Thanks a lot you guys. I'll see how the video turns out and update here.
-
Hmm..
The final output is the same quality as the original which i'm happy with. But its still fairly large 250MB. Its a lot better then the uncompressed file which is 20GB hehe.
I'll try out other settings and see how it goes. Maybe try cutting some scenes out.
