VirtualDubMod & Sony Vegas Questions

[CrzyGohanLuver]

I didn't know whether or not to make two seperate topics for this, so yeah. x_x;

These aren't major issues or anything, just minor questions.

In VirtualDubMod, what's the difference between Fast Recompress, Normal Recompress, and Full Processing Mode? I'm sorry if this has been explained already; I might've overlooked it.

Also, are there any other good websites for Sony Vegas tutorials? Besides Ladymercury's, I mean. Beyond the basics. :3

Thanks for any help.

I'm pretty sure Normal Recompress and Full Processing could possibly process too much of your footage. The technical term I've heard people around here say is "too many colorspace conversions". So if you want your footage to look like it does in VDubMod (better, actually, since VDub doesn't seem to play back at full quality), then use Fast Recompress.

Well, Normal recompress and Full processing mode convert the incoming video to RGB32, since that's what VirtualDub's filters work in.

If your source is already in RGB (something like uncompressed RGB, HuffYUV in RGB mode, or any AVISynth script whose final output is RGB), then this shouldn't affect anything.

But if your source is in YUV (HuffYUV in YUY2 mode, DivX/XviD/other MPEG-4 ASP, MPEG-2, or any AVISynth script whose final output is YUY2 or YV12), and the compressor you're using also uses YUY2 or YV12, then it's better to choose Fast recompress.

Selecting Normal Recompress will not enable VirtualDub's built-in filters. Full Processing will "ungrey" the Filters... option.
