Streaming to .avi

Post by daddog »

I enjoy a WWII flight sim and it has a film capture tool.

I can save my clips in the following formats and was wondering which was best for Ulead. I tried the first one full frames uncompressed, but that took about 5 minutes to convert a 10 second clip in the film viewer/capture tool.

Full Frames Uncompressed
Fraps Video decompressor
MPEG-4
Indeo 5.10
Microsoft H.261 Video Codec
Microsoft H.263 Video Codec
Microsoft Video 1
Microsoft RLE
Intel IYUV
Intel Indo Video 4.5
Intel Indeo (R) Video R3.2
Intel 4:2:0 Video V2.50
Cinepak Codec by Radius

It can also save in the following sizes.
720x480
640x480
320x240
160x120

and the following frames per second.
29,97
30
25
12

If I was to import this file into Ulead what specs would you suggest from what I listed above.

Thanks in advance. :)

The answer to your question also is determinated by what you want to end up doing and also your storage capacity

I have no problems with editing with DV/AVI in Ulead VS11+

If you can store it might as well capture in the highest settings.

Full frames Uncompressed (can you capture a small clip and report back on the extension it saves in?)

720x480 ( i believe this to be roughly 16x9)
640x480 ( looks like 4x3, I could never remember the numbers for the aspect ratios)

29,97 is NTSC frame rate
25 is Pal
(stick with your region formats)

Hope that helps a bit. General rule for me is capture in best possible taking into consideration storage space and what you want the final product to be.

720x480 is std ntsc ratio and can be both 4.3 and 16.9 depending on how it is flagged.
