Navigating through a 55 GB AVI file ?

[iparout]

Hi there.

I just finished capturing 43 minutes of footage off my VCR using VDub. The output file is 55 GB in size YUY2 704x576. I deliberately captured to uncompressed cause I want to do some slight video editing with Premiere and then encode to VCD with TMPGEnc.

I would like to know how it is possiblt to navigate through such a huge file. Premiere or VDub crash when I slide the scroll bar to the point where I want to edit. What I want to do is ad a fade out effect at the end of the clip and that's it.

I tried to shorten te work area and render only the last minute of the clip but Premiere would not render it either. The only solution is render the whole clip, but it takes 4 hours.

Any solutions on how to navigate easier through that file ?

I think that if VDub creates some keyframes while capturing, the output avi will be easier to navigate. Do you know how to add keyframes while capturing ?

Thanks in advance.

Maybe getting a stable motherboard with a lots of quality RAM and install a 8MB Cache Harddrive on a separate IDE channel without sharing the channel with your C drive?

I have found out that seeking through the file is too slow because there are no keyframes in the captured file. I am capturing with VDub at 704x576 with Uncompressed YUY2 Matrox and I thought that when capturing uncompressed avi, each frame was a keyframe too... I don't know why I have no keyframes in my avi (only delta frames).

Anyone can help ob the keyframe issue ? How can I add keyframes while capturing ?
