wow that was very fast thank u..... a few questions though:

1) Will this allow me to import avi files into vegas?

2) Do you think this is better than converting the avi file to wmv?

use those to mark the beginning and the end of the "clips" you want so you can save room

make small clips instead of converting the whole thing
and lagarith > wmv in all ways especially when it comes to using it in Vegas

(last time i used wmv in vegas i wanted to pull out my hair)

can you play it in Vegas?
if the answer is yes then thats what matters


also lagarith and huffyuv files usually wont play back properly in media players, because they are too big and most computers dont have the processing speed
