Lossless avi?

WiK?

Aight so I’m using pldx’s recording config, whenever I attempt to compile to a lossless avi I’m left with strictly audio and unplayable video. I’m aware it’s fullframes so I won’t actually be able to watch the video persay, but it’s not being recognised as being a video file period.

I’m not particularly tech-headed so it’s probably something pretty basic.

Well, the way I personally do it is:

pldx > targas and wav > compile in virtualdub > export w/ huffyuv

Never had a problem with that.

If you want to continue the way you’re doing it now though, it sounds like you might be missing a huffyuv decoder (I’m assuming you’re using huffyuv?), and as such whilst the audio is coming through the video cannot be decoded because your media player has no idea how to go about doing it.

So yes, just download a decoder for it and you should be fine.

I see. Well new problem now anyhow. Trying to install huffyuv (as it previously wasn’t – I’m real good at this pc malarky), on win7 64bit. Following some instructions that I don’t understand but are apparenly necesary for 64bit (running command prompt and putting in a bunch of crap). Everything happens as the instructions suggest, but when it comes time to open vdub or any similar app huffyuv isn’t in the compression list.

I assume this isn’t the end of the world? Using lagiroth (w/e it was called) at the moment and it seems fine, though god knows I can’t tell.

Well from trial and error I roughly know what I’m doing, it’s just making the codecs instal properly that’s my trouble : D.

I don’t know who wrote that, but they did a pretty bad job — the idea that a video with lossy frames and PCM audio is a good idea is just plain silly.

Your hard drive won’t be quick enough to play back a 1280×720 huffy (or lagarith file). They are intended entirely for editing programs. Don’t worry though, the final video you export from your editing program will be fine.

Easy to install to.

Yes I know skyride, but it wasn’t recognising it as a video file. Anyway it doesn’t matter now, been using lagarith since about an hour after I made this thread and had no problem : ).
