and that's why you should make clips instead of converting entire episodes (time is short, do a forum search for making clips with virtualdubmod if you don't know how)annyaonweb wrote:I did that. Ended up with 3 gb files and over 20 gb taken space in the end. Quality stayed the same as the mkv but in premiere, not all the episodes were there. Only the Opening and another half a minute or max a minute extra. Other than that no. So i continued using avs files straight instead of converted lagarith files from vdub.Bauzi wrote:I recommend to convert all the sources you need into a lossless codec like HuffYUV or Lagarith. It takes diskspace, but you really gain smooth editing (because it needs less ressources) and way less problems.

You checked the guides, right? A look at it is always good
basic rule of quality: the output quality is only as good as the input quality
and if you try to edit mkv by putting it into an avs script you're liable to experience the problem noted at the beginning of this thread
bottom line: dvd footage >> downloaded footage and lossless clips ftw
