Saving in VirtualDub

[Qrees]

Hi, this is my first post so first of all, hello to everyone.

I have edited video with virtualdub and now i'd like to save it so I can use this edited video in other software. But I'm not sure wich codec to select. I'd like to save with as good quality as possible, but not in uncompressed RGB Which codec and settings do you suggest?

Sorry it this have been asked before, but I don't know what keywords to search for...

The cenocida DV codec will allow you to save as standard DV, which works well in most editors, and is relatively small for the quality. Lossless codecs such as huffyuv and lagarith guarantee you no quality loss, but require 3 - 4 times the space of DV.

I think you mean cedocida DV . I'll try this. This doesn't have to be lossless codec.

I tested it, but I get an error: The source image format is acceptable (error code -2)... What might be wrong?

[EDIT]
Ok, got it. It only accepts 720x480 size.

If I could type, I'd work in IT - actually, I do work in IT, which is probably why I can't type

DV only accepts 720 x 480 or 720 x 576. if oyu need something else, look at the lossless codecs instead.

Try Lagarith. Or frameserve from VirtualDub to your editor.

That's the problem, Sony Vegas can't open frameserved files from Virtualdub. Thank's for suggestions. And as for lossless, i don't have that much disk space

Install ffdshow and try mjpeg. Or some other mjpeg encoder like PicVideo's.
