RAWs bad?

Postby uchihaclan13 » Thu Sep 28, 2006 10:01 pm

I use Sony Vegas to create my AMVs. And sometimes I want to use raws for them, but when I import them, either I get no visual, vegas freezes, or I get "jumbled up" pixelated previews and timeline previews. Is this fixable in vegas? Or do I always have to convert the AVI to WMV when it's like this??? ?_X

If they're 120fps RAWs, use avi2tc first to take out all (or nearly all) the dummy frames that it has, then use VirtualDubMod to cut the clips away like Kariudo said.

'FFDS' is ffdshow's signal marker, which seems to me as if the footage is the standard DivX or XviD but being decoded with ffdshow, since I don't know of too many people that use ffdshow itself to encode stuff for distribution.

If VDub comes up with a warning that says it can't use DirectShow filters, uninstall ffdshow, go to http://x264.nl/, download one of the ffdshow builds there (it depends on your processor and whether it can support only SSE or SSE and SSE2), and make sure that when you install the new one that you also enable the VFW interface. You'll need to manually configure the VFW interface to enable using it to open video files in VDub, but that's not hard since the configuration dialog for the VFW is available through the Programs menu or in VDub's Compression... area - you'll want to look at the tab that says 'Decoders' and switch things pertaining to DivX and XviD to libavcodec.
